For some strange reason I’m reading a veiled threat in that comment!

Haha! Well, I could update that one too if you like.... :)

I think we should compile a list of "Good" renn faires to circuit.  You know?

That's a good idea...maybe a quick synopsis of what each offers, weapon/no-weapon, pets/no pets, booze/no booze, that sorta thing, the important stuff.  I'd put in a 'percentage of cleavage'  but umm...that wouldn't be very chivalrous would it? 

Compile one complete list and sticky it to the appropriate subforum would be swell.

That reminds me, I didn't compile the faires dates list I usually do each spring. Does anyone find those useful?

They would definitely be useful.

If it's worth the time, I could set up a database-based page on the Order site that shows the faires in a table, that you could filter by weapon/no weapon, dates, acts, etc, if someone is willing to compile a list and send it to me.

I haven't looked for this year's starting dates, but here's the thread with the list I compiled last year, if that would be useful as a starting point:

http://modernchivalry.org/forum/index.php/topic,520.0.html

As an aside, it looks like the dictionary feature interferes with clicky URLs there. Might have to look into that.

Sir Brian,

You appear to be at GARF in your updated kit photographs.  Is it true the fair season has begun down south?! :o

We are expecting snow later today in central Minnesota. :(  Good thing my first event is indoors this comming weekend!

I think it would be eminently useful to have such a database...and especially with weapon/no-weapon policies.

Yes this past weekend was opening weekend for GARF and they not only had perfect weather they had an excellent turn out! There was even a 15 minute backup on Sunday prior to the opening gate! Saturday (armor day for me) was partially cloudy with temperatures in the mid to high 60’s with a very refreshing breeze. Sunday was about 10 – 15 degrees warmer with less breeze. I did meet another armored knight on Sunday who had an excellent harness from MT. I told him about our little but growing forum so hopefully he will stop by and join us!  :)

I've got a rough one going that I started on my personal site, but I need some help filling in the info. I'll show the same info on the Order site when I get a chance, and it all comes from the same database so they'll both be updated in one spot but viewable from two.

Shoot me a PM if you can fill in some of the blanks or have more to add - I haven't had time to click through a lot of links to check for info.
