The 1st is now the only date open for me, as my Aunt and Uncle are having their 40th wedding anniversary on June 8th (in Reno). I’m up for it! (As it were…) ---

You guys are going to the place I grew up. Some people run away and join the circus, I ran off and joined the So Cal Ren Faire. I was a member of the crew and an employee of the original company that owned it for 5 of my most formative years. 😉 Have fun!! Sure wish I could go with you… ---

Awright. So, for June First we have the following people confirmed: **jkusters** **thomasm** **Esprix** **Me** **Duke?** **Edwardina** And **CelticCowboy** who will be there regardless. Anyone else? **Dragonblink** , I’m putting you down as pending because you need a ride, is that correct? ---

Now, my dear, all I meant was that you _work_ there, so it doesn’t matter to you if _we’re_ there or not. What was that whooshing sound? And which of us was it directed at? 😃 ---

Okay, it looks like some things pulled together, despite my appalling lack of anything even remotely appearing like paying attention to what went on in this thread. Well, on with the show anyway. Let’s do this thing this **Saturday, June 1st.** Faire opens at 10am. **jkusters** and I will be showing up sometime around 9:30am, so we can see the opening show and parade. We’ll have a friend with us (who is not **Esprix** , since he has other obligations he must attend to.) **jkusters** will be wearing jeans, a white peasant shirt and a very nice dark brown suede doublet. I will be wearing jeans, a green peasant shirt and simple brown doublet, and a straw hat. We will also be at the Maypole at 10:50, in case we don’t meet up with everyone before Faire starts. Lastly, we will definitely be attending the Lord Mayor’s Show, and can be looked for there as well. We hope to see everyone there, and will be looking for those listed below: **jkusters thomasm SisterCoyote Duke? Edwardina CelticCowboy Dragonblink dreamer** I’ll try to checkback on Friday evening, in case anyone posts something else. thomasm ---

I won’t be able to make it either - but I’ll be there closing weekend :). ---

And, as I posted in the other thread I started about this (silly me), it turns out I can’t make it either - I had to borrow money to pay the rent this month. Not a good thing. ☹ ---

Oh, I’m waiting for the boys to come along and give their side of the story. They have pictures, anyway. But anything they say about me shouting “penis” a lot, or of me wiggling my bosoms at Puritans is an out and out lie. Really. 😉 ---
