I asked this question before on one of the message board threads, but couldn't find my answers, so I thought I'd start a new thread. I wanted to find out where all the members are from. I know one lives in N. Philly, and I would like to get to know him better. I'm from NW Philly...Roxborough (or Felsenbau in german). Also,  how squires get their coat of arms posted on your list? Is that only when two members sponsor you? Any two members interested in sponsoring me. I think I have a lot to offer the group.

Sir John of Felsenbau,

I live in the Twin Cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis, Minnesota.  Thus, I have never met anyone one this forum in person; yet! :)

I live in York, Pa. When you get up to PaRF look me up this year, I remember now why I couldn't place you, we met over on the renfaire.net site so I've never actually met you in person. I'd like to meet you in person so we can talk a bit. I'll be down in the Trayned Band camp at PaRF so drop by so we can chat for a bit.

mad man, sounds like a plan, when it gets closer I'll let you know when I'm going...I go with relatives, so have to coordinate with them.

Sir John, I am down in Charles Town, WV. Perhaps we will meet at the PA Renn Faire if I make it sometime, or if you come down to the MD Renn Fest (my "home" faire).

To have the coat of arms posted, you need to be a member of "The Order of the Marshal". A number of us here on the forums are members of the order, but the two are not synonymous with each other; you can be a forum member and not an order member, or an order member and not a forum member, or of course, you can be both.

You would need two order members to sponsor you into the order to have your arms posted and name added to the roster. You would be added as a yeoman/squire of the order. Once the other order members get to know you more, you can receive the title of knight of the order if you are sponsored by three existing knights of the order.

I live the Reno/Sparks, NV area so I'm quite far away from everyone else myself.

That would be

I'm in the DC Metro area, so the MD Ren Faire is my home faire, but I plan on attending the PaRF at some point this year.

I live in Pasadena Maryland and claim the MDRF as my home fair although I will visit at least four other fairs during the season, PARF a couple of times and VARF nearly every weekend.

My Good Sir John,
I live in Cheshire, in the north west of England. Very close to the border between England and Wales. The main city of the county is Chester, which was Edward I`s base for most of his campaigns into Wales.

Wow...you guys are from all over...would be hard to have a place for a meeting. I still haven't heard from the guy who lives in North Philly. This year it will be easy to recognize me at the PA Ren Faire, since I was talked into going as Royalty...but only as a prince...don't want to upstatge the queen. And my friends will be dressed as my retainers...still too far away to set a date. Last year we went the first Saturday in October.

I live in Middlesex New Jersey and pretty much I hate where I live. West of here in Mercer isn't too bad though. Only good thing about living here is everything in this state is closeby, but the traffic is pretty bad....

Sir Ulrich, I know that area...must've passed through there over a hundred times on my way back and forth between here and NY to see family.  I agree on the traffic...even on the weekends it sucks, but not nearly as bad as during the week.  Had the distinct misfortune to be stuck on the NJTP during morning rush hour...and I thought I was being smart leaving after the weekend was over.  lol

I still haven't heard from the member who lives in North Philly. Did I hear wrong about the location?
