I'm glad Fyreblaste asked where the VA faire was...I knew it was NOWHERE near where we are, but I didn't know where the Lake Ana Winery was...now I know...'tis about 4.5 hours from us. 4.5 hours??? I didn't think you could go 4.5 hours to the east of Spotsylvania county without landing in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean somewhere. I thought Hampton/VA Beach was only two hours away at most, and you've dang (not the Lt.)ed near run out of Virginia to be in by that point. Okay, maybe 4 hours...we are 1.5 hours from Va. Beach and 2 hours from Hampton...and yes, you DO run out of Virginia, for the most part. We are physically separated from the rest of the state by the Chesapeake Bay and are actually on a peninsula that makes up Delmarva. I used to have relatives that lived in Fredericksburg, and it was about a 4 hour trip to their place...you mentioned Fredericksburg and well, there you have it.

Hey whats going on everyone. Looking forward to hanging out with you guys again this year. Last year was my first year ever going, ended up going 3 times, and had a blast at each one.
Picked up some great new T-Shirts for this season, and I'll bring out a classic or two from last season as well.

Don't worry KJ.... I've fixed nothing from last year, I've made nothing new, and I'm just hoping that it will fit (as I'm sure it will... I think!!!)
But no matter what, I'll be there...
Good luck on the plane tix - the prices are SICK right now...

45 days till MDRF!. . . . Rehearsals begin this Saturday. So, by the time Festival begins, some of us will be sick of the place and'll be looking forward to Halloween! So, I'll get to see Revel Grove in its greenest best (if the sun hasn't already baked it.) If I can sneak a camera in there, I'll snap a picture or two to post here and show (if I can figure out how to do it.)

I had a house full of ren friends this a.m.! There was Jenn, Sam, Ana (Blair), BF, Noir Cyn, Amras, Gary Schwartz, Sinnius Vice, Kyra Wench, even King Henvy VIII! It was marvelous having such good folks gathering at my humble home in Virginia. Of course, it was only a dvd of our wedding, which Kendall and I viewed this a.m. with our morning coffee...my gosh, guys, I got all kindsa choked up and not just 'cause it was a wedding...our wedding...but from seeing all of you wonderful folks!! I can't imagine what I'm gonna be like in just a few weeks, when I get to see so many of you IN PERSON!! Maybe I should pack a box of tissues, just in case...
Love you all!!

I was going through severe withdrawal when opening day seemed so far away. Now it's almost here and I don't know what to do with myself. What if my bodice doesn't fit? What if I can't find my tankard? My eldest -- who was a mere three when we first took her to Ren Fest -- will be leaving for college (second week of RenFest), so I'll have to try to get her there on opening weekend -- probably Sunday.
See you at the White Hart!

To be honest there was a part of me that wasn't too excited about this year. Perhaps it was knowing that I would be poor, perhaps it was knowing that I will be getting married and have a million other things to do, perhaps it was because I felt like i needed a few more weekends so I could just finish up my stupid paper so I could graduate from Graduate school. Nothing above has really changed except for the realization that I get to see all my friends again, those who bring a smile to my face and who make sure I always have something to drink or someone to talk to. People who live all over this area and I very rarely get to see or talk to that often but are so close and dear to my heart; but I am feeling the excitement and I realize by this time tomorrow the day will be halfway gone, I will have had a hundred hugs and kisses and I will be at my second home. I can worry about all that stuff the other 5 days of the week ;D I always have the fall semester, the wedding will be fine, and so what I am poor in funds but rich with friends.
