I contacted RQP last week to inquire about getting my spurs strapped, I did indeed order them without straps and didn't notice (since the straps are on another page than the spurs - thank you for mentioning that with Sir Nathan's spurs or I wouldn't have known until they got here). I am shooting for the 16th since I will be in NJ the 22nd for a birthday party and going straight to MD Renn Fest from there (getting up at 6am and driving 5 hours straight will likely leave me a bit haggered, if I can even make it up and out that early). I'm planning to bring the kids (our "semi-adopted nieces/nephew that call us mom & dad but aren't technically ours"), and I may have the nephew on hand and in soft kit for part of the ceremony as a standard-bearer. The 23rd is also "day of wrong" so I was planning to wear a non-medieval kit.
I wanted to get Allan to modify/replace my greaves from my kit so that they would fit to "finish off" my kit (I got my fancy metal shoes yesterday and a helm a few weeks ago), but that isn't an option now :( and a local armorer I contacted never responded to me for over a month now. I had no luck getting BJ (who did Sir Nathan's surcoat) to respond to me from 6 weeks ago, even with Sir Nathan prompting her, so I'm trying to find someone who could do a surcoat, and time is quickly ticking away with little success. :(
If the 16th isn't possible due to lack of spurs/unfinished kit the 23rd is my fallback date. I've got my ceremony about 90% written, just need to revise and review some of the little details and will post it for feedback and approval once I finish that. If things still aren't ready on the 23rd I'm not sure what to do from there; I'm crossing my fingers and hoping the 16th or 23rd pans out. I wish I had a definite answer. :(
Sir Robert:
Wow, hard to believe the season here is about over, and its been crazy. I noted that I travel quite a lot so the upside has been seeing fairs all over the US, buts its truly been a bit wearing.
I have mostly been at the PA Faire this year due to timing, I often get in sometime around 12 on Saturday from a flight so that leaves only Sunday for a Faire, I was in MD last weekend to see Barlyjuice and will return the 15th/16th I think. I miss my brothers is been very lonley at most Faires being the only Knight. I have had some interesting experiences though, including a special appearance at Midieval Times in CA after meeting the Director- it was interesting. Now where am I going to hide a horse on my wife.....
Sir Brian:
Sir Robert! Good to have you back! I do hope you can make MDRF the 16th as that will be the Knighting of Squire James! :)
Sir William:
I am uncertain about this weekend...but my chances of making it are probably this weekend and the last weekend of the Faire.
