Ahoy one and all. This is just a quick post to let you know that I will be the new ed for 2008. After a good long meeting with Larry and Sara the other day, I have assumed that role. I am very excited about the new job and am beginning right away.
As you may or may not know, I have been with this Festival from the very first season (missing only one season 4 years ago). I have been performing at Festivals around the country for the past 20 years as Axel the Sot.
I have had a great working relationship with Larry and much of the staff and am looking forward to working closely with them this next season. After reading all your postings I have concluded that we all have one big thing in common...We all feel very passionate about The Great Lakes Medieval Faire! Let's face it, it's our playground. But it is a special kind of playground. What other place is like it? What other place do we give such a piece of ourselves too?
Renaissance Festivals, Medieval Faires... They are unique. They are a true event that gives us enough time and texture to truly embrace almost as a lifestlye as well as family. A meeting ground of "like minded people" as well as people from all walks of life. This is what I have embraced for 20 years and why I am so glad to have this opportunity to contribute more fully in something I love.
I will be talking more about the upcoming season later and welcome your input. I thank Larry for this chance, and now it's time for us all to get very excited about the 2008 GREAT LAKES MEDIEVAL FAIRE!!!

Huzzah! What great news! I am truly ecstatic to hear that John's shoes will be filled by someone I've always considered one of my absolute favorite performers at GLMF, and a seasoned professional on the renfair circuit. Good luck to you Scott. I know you will do an awesome job. Oh happy day!

Which way to the pub?

Well...I'll be damned....and I originally thought it was going to be Axel, but had heard that He Who Shall Not Be Named had assumed the job, so naturally, I became disgruntled.

So...a huge relief for me and hopeful for 2008. Congrats and I wish you well Scott.

Still will miss John (and H&S) immensely. *sigh*

For my next trick, I need a condom and a female volunteer.

Last year was my first experience ever working at GLMF, although I had been attending for many years before that. It became a wonderful experience, mostly because of all the amazing people I got to meet. It opened an entire new world for me that I never knew existed. After faire ended, I immediately got excited for next year. I am very much looking forward to working with you and extend a great big *WELCOME* on behalf of the cast. Here's to a great season!
