I'll be there both days, but whether I do armor will depend a lot on the weather. I have a lot of lighter things I can wear too.

I might be able to make Sunday, but Saturday's definitely a no-go.  I'll text you boys when I'm on the premises (if I make it), ok?

TO ALL MDRF's Knights: It's a done deal!! My wife (Lady Rachel) & I shall attend MDRF on our way home from Tampa on Sat., Sept. 1 for the day. Hopefully, my eldest step-son will be with us as well as squire. :) I'll be bringing my kit with me in case armor is appropriate for the event. It would be nice to meet as many of you as possible & armor up for some pics. :) Who will be attending amongst you on Sept. 1st?? Please let me know so I can coordinate with you.

Huzzah! I will be in attendance. I'm not sure if I'll be in armor if the heat index is expected to exceed 90 degrees. If it is I'll be in a green leather kilt or my green tunic and yellow chausses. Looking forward to meeting you and thy lady! :)

Sat Sept 1? I should be there, if all goes according to plan. I don't usually start skipping days until a few weeks in. :)

Count me in for Sep 1...especially if I don't make opening weekend; I'll be wearing armor regardless of the heat- as most of my kit is maille it isn't as bad for me as it is for some of my plate-clad brethren.  It'll be good to meet you, Lord Dane, and your family.

Huzzah! IIRC that's a family trip, so I'm not sure I'll be up here, but if I am, I'll make an effort to head out there. If I do, I'll post up what I'm wearing, since I probably won't decide until the weather is known.

Well if you want to brave the heat & humidity you can go with armor however I would also bring some lighter garb if the heat index is beyond endurance!  ;)

Saw the weather report/forecast & light garb is best, Sir Brian. I'll wear my noble SCA garb for MD Renfaire & match my wife. I'll bring the armor next time we meet up. Too much baggage for FL & one day of faire. :) However, I will bring a couple wooden wasters (for practice/fun), my great sword (for show), & my Order sword for accolades. :) I think a match-up of knightly skill is in order for display & fun. ;) What do you think?

Just remember that MDRF is a no-weapons faire. Irritating, I know.

That's a news update I did not consider. Makes bringing my armor pointless if I can't even wear my sword. Thanks for informing me, Sir Edward. NOTE: I make sure the ren-faires I work/attend are weapon-friendly for sake of re-enactors, staff, customers in garb (i.e. CTRF, KRF for examples). They allow weapons with restrictions obviously. ;) Safety 1st & check your weapons before hitting the tavern.

We'll still come for meeting the group but I must say...I hate NO weapon faires. :( Big disappointment. Unless PA Ren-Faire is possiblity for meeting you gents?? What do you think?? I've never been there & it is still along the way.

Is that a viable option for any of you to do Sept. 1 at PA Ren Faire (Sir Brian, Edward, William or others)??

Either way, I'm flexible but as Sir Edward stated....that no weapons policy is 'irritating'. Sorry, I'm just used to having them as part of my medieval persona.

Yeah, the MDRF no-weapons policy is terrible. It even includes "costume weapons" like wall hangers. It's not without reason, but, still no fun.
