OK, if I won't be working for Fiona, I need to figure out what days I NEED to be at the Faire. I live in Erie, so between ticket prices and gas, I just can't afford to visit every weekend. So, here's my "must-see" list:
1) OWAIN. I remember hearing he will be at GLMF the last three weeks - is this still the case?
2) The Rogues (2nd weekend only?), or another similarly raucous and toe-tapping musical group with pipes and drums.
3) A really, REALLY fun pub sing. (I know, they're all great and you really can't know in advance what craziness will occur....)
Other than that, the theme weekends aren't as big a deal to me....everything is great and I can find stuff to do/people to watch/etc regardless.
So, how would you all suggest I get the most "bang for my buck"? I see me at the Faire maybe twice this year.....at most 3 times. I'll buy the discount tix at Giant Eagle, and that will be less than a season pass.....

Thanks, BK. The GLMF website schedule shows Owain for 3 weeks....I should have known better than to put any faith in that. *sigh* But that's OK, I like AnamChara too, and assuming the schedule is correct, they will be there the 5th week (Italian Carnivale). So that works nicely.... Now if I could just get my friend to reschedule her wedding so I can catch the Rogues on the 9th-10th.

I belive his not being there is a recent change.
Here is a quote from Morgan from another thread.
Explaining where Owain will be final weekend.

angel-
Sorry for the late reply....but I can't go this weekend (7/2-3) anyway. Feel free to post or PM if you decide to go another weekend...maybe we can work something out!
As for the discount tix, Giant Eagle sells tix for $2 less than the gate price. Last year, the store on upper Peach did this, the one on Buffalo Road did not. I'm not sure which stores are participating this year - just ask at the service desk.
Hope you had fun!!

3) A really, REALLY fun pub sing. (I know, they're all great and you really can't know in advance what craziness will occur....) The craziness just happens. If we can get a little more time (!) maybe it will happen a more! The Pub Sing has been cut back to 1/2 an hour & they've added a scripted cast thingie in the middle. That's cutting back on a lot of craziness. |

Last year's pub sings were so wild! I always had tears in my eyes. I wish it went back up to an hour...you never knew what to expect! The dancing was a lot of fun too ^_^

1/2 hour for pub sing? Guess I don't feel so badly abput not staying for it last weekend. Is this to encourage us to head over to the extra-price thingy? Don't mind me. I just found out we may not be able to come this weekend and I'm not in the best of moods.  |

Is this to encourage us to head over to the extra-price thingy? Not that I know of. Pub Sing was scheduled like this long before they knew about the after-hours at the feast hall. I heard it was to keep things moving and to help make sure things ended at 7. Last season things rarely wrapped up anywhere near on time. [shrug] I didn't mind  |
