Hello, Captain Hayes here. OK, so I am new to this board but not new to faire. I have been going since it was held in the Woods of Symphony, in the country of Columbya. I used to dress as a youngster, and then fell out of the garb thing for a while. I started again in 02 with basic garb and have been building since then.
I missed all of last year due to Crusading for our King George in a faraway desert land.
Looking forward to the Fells Point Pyrate Invasion and of course faire season (but first is a trip to Stirling NY!!)
Here are my answers to the 20 questions:
1. How Long Have You Been in Revel Grove?
Since the founding of the Grove, before it was Revel Grove.
2. What's Your Favorite MDRF Show?
Johnny Fox! with the Rogues a close second.
3. What's Your Favorite Foodstuff & Drynk?
I long all year for steak on a steak and seasoned curlys. I am also partial to beef stew in a bread bowl, and of course the many fine ales available at the grove (although I hear Fordham is no longer available, that is a shame.)
4. What's Your Favorite PubSing song?
Have not done a pub sing
5. What's Your Favorite MDRF Memory?
Watching my son's eyes get HUGE when he first saw Johnny swallow a sword.
6. What's Your Favorite Game at MDRF?
I like to go in the maze with me younglings, is that a game?
7. Who performs your favorite MDRF Music?
Rogues with Pyrates Royale a close second, but really enjoy all of the music, to include Cercamon and E Muzeki
8. What's your assessment of security at MDRF?
Very good if not overly good, no-weapons policy is a little over the top, we are all adults.
9. What's the longest time you've ever spent in the parking lot in gridlock after the day's show was over?
About an hour, we ended up just cranking the Rogues CD and dancing in the parking lot until it cleared out.
10. Have you ever been Wenched, Rogued, or Kilt-checked?
Yes
11. How Long Is Your Faire Day?
I try to arrive by 11:00 and always stay until the closing cannon.
12. Ever been completey trashed at MDRF?
Not that I remember ;-)
13. Why Do You Like MDRF over Other Faires?
The size, variety of food, drink and shows, plus the number of patrons who dress make it the best in my opinion
14. What Do You Like at other Faires that MDRF doesn't have?
Peace tied weapons and mulled meade
15. How important is being historically accurate at MDRF?
Lets see, my garb is based upon that of Aragorn from the LOTR, so historical accuracy is not high in my book.
16. What Vendor is missing at MDRF?
I think they have enough ways to separate me from my money
17. Who's Your Favorite Vendor at MDRF?
Wolfstone Kilts/Potomac leather for garb and accessories, Goodly woods for mugs!!
18. What annoys you most about MDRF?
The no weapons policy
19. What's The One Thing You'd Change About MDRF?
See #18
20. Who's Your Favorite MDRF Cast Character?
I have always been partial to the pirate queen.
