Well, I heard some say that they missed the Pirate Encampment this year... The crew of the brigantine Nightshade, Raiders of The North Shore, was there at a booth during "Pirate Invasion Weekend", but not at an encampment all during the Faire. Frankly, that encampment last year, although a blast , took a lot of preparation, a lot of time, a lot of really strong effort. And, sure, an outlay of lots of cash... And, we didn't re-coup much of any of it. We sold nothing, strictly entertainment. I played the ship's doctors : Tullia Arabee. And, I was there at the encampment last year pretty much all the time, telling stories, cooking, dipping candles, etc. Everyone enjoyed having the pirate crew at the encampment, yet to do it again this year was figured by the crew to be too much. So, the crew of the Nightshade were patrons this year, except for "Pirate Invasion" weekend.... But, still hearty and swinging wide and handsome : " Fifteen men on a deadman's chest... Yo, ho, ho and a bottle of rum... The drink and the devil had done for the rest... Yo, ho, ho and a bottle of rum !!! "

Cu Dubh was huge... you could tell when they were playing from pretty much anywhere in the shire, and it DID add a huge amount of energy.
I agree on the cast list... I had an advantage in knowing who cast were, but there are still some characters that I don't know names for, and I interacted with most of them every day of the run.
But despite the bumps early on, and all the gripes and complaints at various points, this was an awesome year... and my understanding is that planning is already started for next year to make it even better.

The faire this year was great. Good job to everyone!
A special thanks to Captain Stout. I spent most of my days at faire just sitting around listening to him and catching up with old friends.
To Quote blueguy: - "but I am saving my biggest thank you of the year for the most unsung and under appreciated members of the staff... the Privy Faries. I won't shake your hand but never have so few done such a nasty job for so little. thank you." Well Said.
and whomever mentioned it on FB must have been a brilliant man. ;D
I hope we have many more years of the faire.
