Well, we've already got the hotel booked for the second weekend of PaRF next year. Just sayin'. ;) By then I should have worked out all the bugs in my chausses. (Nothing worse than having bugs in your breeches, right?)

I might be able to make one more weekend at Pittsburgh since it's relatively close, but other than that, it's just too expensive to travel to any of the farther faires this year, unfortunately. I guess that's what I get for picking expensive hobbies. ;D

On an unrelated note, can anyone give me some more info on the DoK event? Does it have a website or anything? I've seen it mentioned plenty of times, but don't really know a whole lot about it other than it's a living history event.

We typically hang around the area between the first food court area you come to and the White Hart Tavern just after you past O'Shucks tavern. As we typically are wearing armor we do not get very far because of the photo opportunities.  ;)

Looking forward to meeting you in person!  :)

Yeah, that area between O'Shucks and the White Hart Tavern is a good area to look for us. Particularly on the side of the White Hart facing the food court. It's a nice open, but wooded area.

Looks like I won't be making it until the final two weekends of the Faire.  Hope to see some of you there.

Weather for the 6th is *suppose* to be 79 with 10-15 mph winds so it could be a little warm but definitely doable! :)

Depending what happens with my truck today, I may or may not make MDRF on the 6th. If I do, I may need some help armoring up. :)

im sure some peasants will help you.
does the word peasant sound negative?
Well I went to the maryland renfaire in my armor, on a 90 degree day.
I go in my armor no matter the heat. Except the p.a. faire there is no shade and the blacktop roads are HOT
Im still wondering if i will make it back to the p.a. faire.
it would be the last weekend.

You're young, so that's much easier to do than for the rest of us. Heh. :) I used to not be bothered by the heat much, when I was a teen. Dehydration? No problem! :)

Now, I really have to be careful.
