Well, tomorrow (Sunday the 6th) is supposed to be clear, but in the upper '80s. Maybe light armor, or light soft kit might be in order. I haven't decided.

If I wear any armor, it's going to be the aluminum stuff, and no helmet or shield.

It was great getting a chance to meet you. Too bad we didn't cross paths again later in the day. I ended up being fairly busy, since some friends who don't come often were there.

We also got to meet Sir Nate and his brother, and ran into Silvanus too.

I also met a young gent who was in Hospitaller gear, who said he's in the Beauseant Brotherhood group on facebook. I gave him a card for the forum, so hopefully he'll drop by.

I want to come down for the last weekend 10/19-20 of MDRF. I will see if I can. Can't this weekend because of anniversary. Wife doesn't want to come so I might do solo.

I concur with Sir Edward in the privilege it was to finally get to meet you and your wonderful family. I hope we’ll have the pleasure in more of your company and a chance for us to do some training together @ MASHS in the near future.

It was a great pleasure meeting you Sir Nate and your brother and of course seeing our ever so humble squire Silvanus! :)

I’m looking forward to the 20th (last day of MDRF) when we can hopefully organize another all armor photo opportunity as we’ve done the previous years. Our friend Amo has invited Sir Edward and me to a knighting of his group @ 2:00 PM so I’m thinking if we setup the photo op for 1:00 PM between the jousting field and the back of the Market Stage we’d have plenty of time to get to the wine garden.

I want to come down for the last weekend 10/19-20 of MDRF. I will see if I can. Can't this weekend because of anniversary. Wife doesn't want to come so I might do solo.

That would be awesome if you can make it!

Sir William and Sir Nathan will you be able to make it on the last day?

I soooooo wish I could join you guys, but I'll be stuck up at PaRF. We have one last weekend after Maryland closes, so if any of you can, come on up and visit me. I have a pretty hectic schedule and don't get out of camp much, but I always enjoy seeing old freinds and meeting new ones from here.

Settled. I'll be there that weekend. Not sure if wife will come with me but I planned in case she changes her mind. I'll be staying @ Mariott Springhill Suites next to faire Sat & Sun nights. I'll drive down for Sat but likelihood is Sunday. Either case gentlemen, I shall be attending. :)

Well with me having to work this Saturday and now the Monday holiday, I was going to go to the MDRF on Sunday yet after all this rainfall through Saturday methinks I will just skip this weekend all together and enjoy my 24th Anniversary with a Sunday afternoon movie and dinner at Melting Pot. So I hope you all have fun at DOK and MDRF all of you that are going!  :)

We're usually good for the last day of PARF Sir Matthew! We'll stop by and see you if we can do it again this year! :)

So... I was going to hit up the Reno Celtic Celebration last weekend but it was $15/person for one day and we only had 2 hrs available to go. Now keep in mind that it has been very tiny since it moved from July to October about 5+ years ago. However, from what I heard, it's price has increased by 150% and quality has sunk a lot in just the 3 years since I did a demo there. Heck it used to be free for 15 years.

It's been an event in town fro 20+ years and watching it die is sad.

Yeah it is sad to see a faire die. The Raleigh NC faire when that way a couple of years ago.  :(

I'm in for the last day, Sir Brian.  I am sorry I have not been present this year- I really miss it.

That is awesome news indeed Sir William as you've been sorely missed this season! I will be buying you a tankard and be assured that I will abide no arguments about that! Oh and I'll also put your buckler in my car so I won't forget to deliver it to you! :)
