Sunday then? I'll need to start making plans...

Sir James, can you make it, and if so, could I bum a ride, per our usual arrangement?

Labor Day weekend? No. :( Family trip.

Thanks for the pics, Sir Brian. Leave 4 Tampa in morning w/ wife & eldest step-son. I will be in touch from Tampa resort. God speed. :)

Perfect timing, enjoy the Hurricane!  Although it looks like it's dead set on hitting us here in Pcola.

Correction, it missed me in Tampa, Ian. YOU enjoy it seeing it's coming your way... but be safe. LOL

It's settled guys. After discussion, we will be coming to MDRF on Saturday, Sept. 1. We'll be driving home Friday & stop at hotel close to faire so we can be there early. If you want to hit me up privately on here, I'll give you my number. :)

Excellent, we'll see you saturday then. I'll keep an eye on the weather and hope that I can do armor.

Look forward to it, Sir Edward. :) I will not be in armor so won't be as identifiable but will have my wife & eldest step-son w/ me. Renfaire garb is better for this humidity anyways. I'll be in armor Monday for KRF when I get home.

I'll be wearing a long-sleeved black tunic w/ gold & navy pattern trim w/ black pants, boots, black leather belt, and accessories. My step-son will be in all black & my wife will be wearing her light blue dress as seen in my knight page.

I have some similar tunics. If the weather is crazy-hot out there, I'll probably do the same. We'll just have to see (and IMHO a few days is still too early to tell on the weather report).

Same for me. If the heat & humidity is too much on Saturday then I'll just wear the kilt and perhaps go for armor on Sunday.

Supposed to be t-storms coming in on Sunday so you may not want to be in armor then, Sir Brian.  Of course, I should've done the necessary adjustments when I had the time (just not the impetus) so I'll be Sir Bingo Wing yet again.  Maybe.  lol

Yep, the plan is to be there Saturday and Sunday. I usually take a break on Monday for the holiday weekend, and just go the two days. Three days of faire in a row is a bit much, even for me.

So far the weather looks decent. Hot on Saturday, a little less-so on Sunday. They're calling for some rain on Monday, which has me slightly worried for Sunday, if the time-frame shifts.

So maybe Sunday is the armor day? That works for me. Maybe I'll wear one of my lighter tunics on Saturday after all.

Sir Edward, does the 'faire ownership' have a problem w/ taking pics in the parking area outside say for group photos with 'weapons'?? I would like to get some photos with you guys (as we should be...armed) LOL :)

Lord_Dane, I *think* that should be okay. I know some impromptu wasters combat has occurred in the parking lot.

Yeah, I don't think they'll notice, unless someone complains about people being dangerous with them. Sword-fighting in the parking lot would not be OK, for instance.
