Well tomorrow (sunday the 19th), I'll probably run a little late getting to VARF. I may get there closer to lunch time. I expect tonight to be a late night, with Squire Jason's bachelor party. :)

I will hopefully be able to make MDRF every other weekend or so. And really hope to spend more days with you knights therein....

I've never been to VARF, but from the photos I've seen it is even more 'Renaissancy' than MDRF. I would really seem out of place (and time) as an intolerant, 12th-century Templar ;D Maryland is do-able just because there are so many more people.

I'm not sure if the exact time period of VARF is closer to renaissance than MDRF, but the majority of the cast seems to be dressed more in that style. However, don't let that hold you back from attending; last year there was somebody there in a samurai soft kit. And there's lots of people in mundane clothing. Nothing to worry about!

Oh yeah, as a patron it doesn't really matter. :) But yeah, VARF is set slightly later in the period than MDRF, as it's Queen Elizabeth, versus King Henry VIII.

Noone will notice if you are spending the majority of time at the tavern. :) :)

WAIT! There is a renaissance faire there? I thought it was just a quirky beer/wine tent set up in a field for wayward travelers! ;)

Possibly! I might spend the whole time in the tavern. I could make a sitcom out of it. The crazy Templar who has been there for 400 years and is immortal as long as he doesn't leave the tavern.... I would regale the patrons with how awesome things were - "in my day, when men were MEN. Puffy shirts? Plate armor? HA! In MY day, we wore chain mail, over bare skin! We didn't talk like funny Shakespeare guys either, more like Clint Eastwood: "You gonna convert, punk? Well are ya?"

Please don't kill me.

Sorry Silvanus. You cannot make some tavern version of 'Highlander'. "There can be only one..."  ;D  8)
