Pennsylvania Rennassance Faire
« on: 2011-09-10, 14:56:07 »
I know two of you were interested in meeting me at this Faire. I'm not sure who all I will be going with, so as yet don't know what outfit I will be wearing. We are planning on Saturday, October 14th, with a rain date of Saturday, October 21st. We want to go when it's cooler, especially me because4 I will be in period clothes. Let me know if anyone here is going on those dates.

Sir John, it looks to me as the 14th and 21st are fridays. Do you mean the 15th and 22nd? It looks to be about 2 hours from me, I might be able to make the trip. Our own Sir Matthew is on cast at PARF; I am sure you will have a chance to meet him.

I will not be able to attend PARF again until their closing weekend on the 29th and 30th. I will most likely be able only to make the final day on Sunday but Saturday is still a remote possibility.  :-\

Hmm. PARF closes a week after the MD Renn Fest does. That looks like a great option for me, too.

It is approximately 90 minutes from the MDRF but it's mostly highway/interstate with some tolls (around $6.00)

That would be great since if all goes according to plan you would be the orders newest knight and could also meet with Sir John and possibly co-sponsor his nomination for entry into the order if you are so inclined.  :)

A week after MDRF eh?  Might be worthwhile to make that trip up there...but if I had to choose, I'd rather make the knighting ceremony for Sir James...after all, he was present at mine!

Sir William I believe it is a necessity as knights of the order for both of us to be in attendance of the ceremony since you, Sir Edward and I are currently the only knights of the order. As our bylaws state:

The Squire must approach knights in good standing, and find three that will participate in the accolade. A first, to perform the ceremony, and two seconds to aid in it. One of them may be the Knight Commander, however this is not a requirement. The number is three to reduce the likelihood of a couple of knights accelerating a friend through the system. Also, during the ceremony, it is customary for the two additional knights to affix the new knight's spurs. Approval must also go through the Knight Commander.

Indeed it is, thank you for clarifying it.  So, with that said...I guess someone has to put forth Sir James for knighthood, but only after he's asked them, is it not so?  Or has all that taken place during my slumber?

Yeah, I guess the way we wrote it, the 3 knights are necessary for the ceremony. I think what's most important though is to have 3 for sponsoring.

But yeah, we approved and offered a whole bunch of them a while back and just haven't done any of them yet.

Who, in particular, besides Sir James?  My memory's like a sieve...it only holds water if you continually pour into it.  lol

Sir Nathan has also been making his knighting ceremony arrangements. He wants his at his church with his priest giving him a benediction prior to being knighted which goes well with his chosen knightly personae.  :)

I gotta talk my folks into taking me here. I am sure I COULD make it as long as the weather is nice. I am NOT going if it rains as I don't want my armor to rust >_> But I'll try to see what I can do.
