I'm likely heading to VARF on the 5th, provided I can shake whatever nasty intestinal bug I have come down with. I went to the Dr. yesterday (yes, it is that bad and I was that desperate to get over it) and he ordered some tests and put me on an antibiotic as a precaution until the tests come back. I may be down for the NJ Faire the following weekend, probably on Sun. the 12th. Maybe I'll run into someone from the boards then?

You looked well, Sir Matthew....the antibiotic must've worked!

Sir Ulrich...sometimes you can have the most fun on a solo excursion...but I do agree, the camaraderie's always fun to have in such a setting.

Thank you Sir William and congratulations on recieving the Accolade. I felt good and made it the whole day in armor without any ill effects. I'm glad to be up and around again.

We could always do hart hunt during the regular deer season...the enormous boar spear season starts just prior to bow season doesn't?  ;)

I was glad you were able to make it! It always seems like when we cross paths at the renfaires, one or both of us are running off somewhere. I was glad to have you join us on a more relaxed day.

Yes, it was very nice to get to spend part of the day with all of you. It was also really nice to finally make it back down fo VaRF. It's been about 5 years since I was there last and things have really changed. The faire is alot bigger and the both the shows and the cast have really improved. I was really impressed with the militia encampment, they have alot more members and equipment. We're hoping to make it down a couple times next year.
