No problem. Yeah, we had meant to come over to the White Hart but got sidetracked by other people. You know how it... it's faire. :)

We ended up hanging out in the White Hart area for most of the rest of the time after your group went up towards the gate. Caught up with more friends there, and did a little shopping right in the vicinity.

Man, the weather was great for armor this weekend! The plate armor can get miserable in hot weather, but this worked out perfectly. I was pretty excited to get a chance to wear it all weekend. The fact that I was able to go 2 days straight with it shows how much of an improvement Allan made to it. I could still walk at the end of the day too. :)

Well, I won't be at faire this weekend, but this is probably a good weekend for me to be at home on-call. Finally, I'm not going to be stuck at home with gorgeous faire weather!

Why? You can't go on Sunday? I've been saying Sunday for like a month. :/

Yes in fact it is easier to get out of the parking lot if you leave about an hour before closing...
but since this is closing weekend I'll stay to the last.  ;)

I'll be at PaRF this weekend, Ceann is playing, otherwise I'd shoot down to MdRF for the jousting.  Just a reminder PaRF is open one more weekend after Maryland closes, 10-31/11-1.  There are discounted 2 for 1 tickets available at 1057.com (a local radio stations website) and I think there may be some half price tickets available at Halfpriceharrisburg.com.  I should be there both days if anyone is coming up.

Thanks for the information about the discount tickets because my love and I were planning on making
a day trip for the last day of PARF! See you then!  :)

Cool.  I'll keep an eye open for the two of you.  I'll most likely be somwhere at the Swashbuckler pub or over at the Trayned Band camp.

Sounds good! I understand a mutual pirate friend of ours will be filling in on the cast as a noble that weekend.  ;)
