I'm planning on both days. Sir Brian, Saturday or just Sunday?

Between the two, Sunday looks to be slightly cooler:

I will definitely be there all day Sunday and I MIGHT make it later on Saturday. If I can make it on Saturday I will probably go light armor and go heavy on Sunday.  :-\

Wow its been a while, due to changing circumstances, I will only be in Maryland on Saturdays this year, and was at PA on opening day but, well, its very lite on entertainment so I won't be there again until maybe the end, I'm sure they wont miss me. Anyway it looks like my travels are done for some time, *sigh* I rather liked all the fairs I have visited over the last three years. Hope to see you all in MD this season.  My squire will be in full plate this year so we are hoping for cooler days.

I should be out there tomorrow, armor as well. I managed to severely strain my right upper chest today; whether it was the bow, the armor cleaning, the dent removal, the sewing, the compensation of my right arm doing everything since I still don't have 100% use of my left thumb/grip again yet, or the culmination of it all, I have no idea. When it hurts to sit up, hurts to lay down, and getting out of the shower you go to dry off and it's sheer agony the likes of which you can't even raise your arm overhead to dry off... something is amiss. I'm hoping my friends Ice Pack and Couple Aleves will make it go away by morning! At least the car is already loaded and ready to go. :)

Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow Sir James and hope we see you soon Stormdelver!
Oh and one of the security guys at MDRF asked me to let him know in advance the next time we do a knighting so he can make sure his son is there to see it. So your knighting was quite the hit last year! :)

Sir Brian, did you also remind him that traditional knightings require a 'sword' they do not allow @ MDRF?? LOL :)

We worked around that little problem with security at MDRF by holding the ceremony just outside the main entrance with the portcullis as a backdrop. ;)

Had a thought while I was laying in bed today nursing my shoulder; is a staff banned at MDRF? Obviously can't bring my spear or polearms, but I'm working on a Templar kit, and I have a Templar pennant attached to a 7 foot pole. Wonder if that's allowed inside?

Call it a walking stick and it should be fine since they allow some pretty elaborate ones which is ironic because they are far more dangerous than our 'specials'.  ::)
