Hoist sails! it be weekend Fourrrrrrrrr!

[blueguy]

Here we be in weekend four. And here there be Pirates!

I admit, I am out of plans. I'm gonna roll with whatever everybody else wants to do. Kidnap nobles, play card games, shackle notorious pirates, whatever you all come up with, I'll go along with it.

At least the weather should be good to us.

Ok I have a question. On GLMF site under entertainment section it says that the Whipsknecht is only performing the last 2 weekends which would be next weekend and the weekend after. That said I looked at the daily entertainment schedule on the GLMF site and it says that the Whipsknecht will be there this weekend as well. Does anyone know if it was changed or is that supposed to be for next week? Thank you for clearing this up for me I am attempting to make my plans for tomorrow.

[Sir Trevor]

No idea.
But how is it faire is half over already?

Seems like it just started.

[nm1997]

I know! Well either way we got up to storms and decided not to chance it. Could have gone later but with it being pirate weekend I figured since this is usually the biggest weekend that it would be crowded so we are going tomorrow so we can get there early and get a good parking spot before it gets too crowded! It really does suck that it is half over though because I am having a blast!

Whipsknecht is here. I saw him practicing this morning.

[nm1997]

Thank you. Since I decided to hold out for sunny weather and less humidity tomorrow I will keep that in mind. It helps me in planning my festival day though since I am stuck with a flat Stanley tagging along I am trying to catch as much as possible and might even dress for pirate week! So I will see you all tomorrow.

Hank said his show was really, really good. I plan on catching it tomorrow, myself. (hoping not to catch the end of the whip, however). Sadly, one of my favorite fair "regulars" mentioned that today was his last visit for the year (damnable outside responsibilities). But at least we hung out for a spell this year. Bonus for the return of John and Tina though. And.a final heads up for those that freak out when I am not very blue... Looks like tomorrow shall be a purple day for me. (i shall try to remember the blue hatband and pouch for you folks). Oh, and ask me how my trip home was tomorrow.

[Sir Trevor]

Should have came out today. There were some very sparse sprinkles right after opening gate.
After that, it was beautiful.

Actually watched the chess match without sweating. Heck, we even sat around on the bleachers visiting after the chess match, because we were actually quite comfortable sitting there.

Also, just a heads-up.
The bakery has been rolling out some new treats.
Last weekend we noticed coffee cake (which Brit had today and said was great), and some kind of pizza pretzel.
This weekend, we noted marbled pound cake, and some kind of new cookie.

[blueguy]

Sorcery!. A new cookie?. Anyway, good day. 3pm joust proved yet again to be insane (and I put a thought in Russ' head for next week) have a project for someone's plans for next week, whipsknecht is here for the run 4 shows daily, go see him. Saucy balladeers still awesome, visit them. Trevor filmed the joust, find it on youtube then come back and applaud gallant "Lady Higgins". Pretty sure I now attend this thing to prove to myself that I will always see something even weirder than I have ever seen before.

[Sir Trevor]

This weekend was most excellent!
Beautiful weather both days.
Tons of old friends wandering the lanes.
Upbeat, festive atmosphere. Large fun crowds.
What more could we ask for?

For those looking for the videos, I have added a page to my site that collects them all.
Just go to the 2012 section and click the video link.

[Sir Trevor]

Oh, yeah.
And there were cute little kittens there Sunday as well!
