Well I'm not quite sure how this managed to pass without me seeing it for so long, but thanks to Mark, my attention was finally brought to this board.
Anyone who regularly attends the GLMF already knows who I am, but I might as well go ahead and post it here, anyway.
I am "Axl Rosa", the one in the Axel the Sot costume (although it's slightly altered). I'm not always in that costume, but I'm pretty hard to miss, especially if you're sitting anywhere near the dance, or if you were there today -- boy, balancing that cup made my head hurt after a little while. I was also one of the ones in the Tortugette costumes last year. 2004 was my first year going to the faire, 2005 I bought my first past. 2007 and 2008 I won honorable mention for a photograph (that definitely helps, money wise).
I've had a lot of people come up to me and say hello and give me compliments on my various costumes, so I say thank you as well as an apparently long and drawn out "Hey, I'm new". Oh well, the GLMFers no me, already! <3

Walcome aboart matie! I know exactly who you are.  I am glad you have found us. I loved your gypsy outfit this past Sunday, still going through pictures, so I don't know if I got a shot of it or not. (took over 150 pictures each day this past weekend) |

Thanks!
I figured people would know who I was.
Thanks for the costume compliment.
I've been told I should try Johnny Phoenix next year, too.
And hello, Lady Isolde. <3

Hey Axle Rosa...Welcome to this den of madness. Saw you at faire in your Axle costume. Thouight you were Axle's "sidekick," "Wheel Bearing!"
One favor I have to ask of you. If you know how to do it, change the font on your typing. Your letters are kinda small compared to others and hard to read for us "Ole Timers" with bad eye sight.
I will have to come up and talk to you next time I see you at faire. And once again, WELCOME!!
HANK.

Woops. No problem.

Not used to boards with "old timers". But yes, please do come speak to me.

And hello, Lady Isolde. <3 I think that was me who said that. In the tent by Friar Pluck's. When you were sitting with your Tortuga Twin friend. |

Right on!
I think Matt, the guy who works for Johnny Phoenix, told me to as well.
I guess I should work on that, shouldn't I? I should make my Tortuga friend Broon for next year.

xD You can just call me by my name if it's easier.
And yes, I am. The dance gives me something to look forward to. It's so gosh darn fun!

Welcome to the mayhem, I think you'll fit in nicely. Love your costumes. Stop in and say hi at the Pickle Grove sometime.

Yes, we've admired your garb also. Thought you were one of the Tortugettes from other years also. Johnny's garb might be fun to recreate, but you might find the codpiece uncomfortable?!? I'll guess you'll find out if you try it. Good ideas, and welcome!!!

I actually stopped and got a pickle on Saturday right before the pub sing, but I'll make sure to stop and get another. They're really good. <3
And yes, I was one of the Tortugettes last year. That was really fun. I got a lot of comments on those costumes, too. I'll really have to make sure to thank my mother, she's the one who makes all of my costumes for me.
As far as Guns N Roses goes, I'm not a HUGE fan (some of their stuff I like), I just needed a name that would serve as a sort of pun or fun little name to use. Kind of like the "Tortugette" name. I didn't like Axelette or Axelina, even though I've been getting a lot of that. I don't really mind, but I needed to give myself a fun name. That's where Axl Rosa came from.
