The Guild is called the Peasant Guild. I’m not sure where we’ll be or what our site will look like. And I have to work on homework at some point. And after lunch a bunch of us end up hanging out around the campsite. But if you ask around, you’ll be able to find me.

I’ll see if my wife is willing to go all the way down there. It sounds like a good way to spend two days away from the visiting mother-in-law, but there’s a competing Faire up here.

I haven’t been to Northern Faire in years, but in Ojai’s favor, it’s right on the lake, there’s shade and grass, and I’ll be there. Also we have Adam the Bawdy Juggler and Marooned.

Well, I can’t really expect you to fly out here to meet some stranger on the internet.

It looks like they’re trying to get another Pirate Faire started in San Diego.

So anybody want to confirm they’re coming?
