Like Trevor said...my comments were uncalled for, but I am not apologizing for them. I did that intentionally to open some eyes around here and let the noob cast members know that I am getting sick and tired of being treated like crap. I have been coming to this faire since 1994. Some of you were in diapers then. I have spent thousands of dollars at GLMF. I have earned my right to complain about whatever the heck I want, but I have ALWAYS MADE IT ABDUNDANTLY CLEAR that I supported the cast because you are doing the best you can under stressful conditions.
Trevor...lock this thread or delete. Don't matter to me.

Oh dear...Baby Bro...have you been playing "Devil's Advocate" again? *shakes head* Tsk.
I have to say that I've always been tired with being treated as a "know nothing" and ignorant in the "all much too complicated for a person like me to understand" world of big business and customer service....Go figure that I have gone to Faires now for 20 years and have made many friends and have talked to many people on the Faire circuit from ye olde humble performers to vendors to Cast and Managers....
As anyone who knows you, or I or any other dedicated Faire go-er...they should know and understand that we support our Faire 100% from year to year and I can second that on spending thousands of dollars at the Faire since I've been attending GLMF from day 1 when it was held on the shores of beautiful Lake Erie.
Question "diplomacy", question choice of words or points of view, but never, ever question loyalty to the FAIRE which is comprised not only of Managers, Cast, Vendors and the like...but the people who pay to get in...the Patrons.
That's all I'm gonna say about this and any other "offspring" topic it has given rise to.

I would like to say that those of you who actually "know" Joe, he supports the faire, in pretty much every facet. Otherwise he wouldn't come and wouldn't care. I know Joe enough to know no ammount of cajoling from Dawn or cute garb for Joey would get him to do something he doesn't love.
You can love something, and still not be thrilled about every aspect. For example, I love the mall, but the parking blows. It is maddening for people when they don't have the same values as you.
Don't get so entranced with the romance of the faire, that you are blind to common sense and you lash back at people who you think are "outsiders". (That comment- not made to Joe.)

Maybe if you didn't act like crap, people wouldn't treat you that way.

Nice of you to hide behind your keyboard and make those comments and you clearly lack the testicular fortitude to make yourself known.

Lady Catherine....You make me scratch my head in wonderment. I looked up WASBI in the dictionary and it says; An herb of the crucifer family with greenish roots that are grated and used like horseradish in japanese dishes. What the hell does that have to do with the context in which you used it HANK.

Well sweetie, if you say so, I'll take your word for it. I don't see the connection between Japanese Horseradish and balls myself....I've never heard 'em called that before, but, what do I know? HANK.

Obviously, Hank, you've never had wasabi! In it's most common form, it's a bright green paste served in VERY small amounts with sushi - which I rather doubt you're into. Wasabi is DEATHLY hot, and if you can eat any real amount of it, trust me, you've got balls! ( Also a cast iron stomach and permanantly numb lips! )
Which brings me to a question that's always puzzled me.....why is it that stuff like wasabi or hot cocktail sauce are always served with very delicatly flavored foods like sushi and shrimp? Obviously I'm in the minority, but I don't care for the stuff...completely obliterates the taste of the food for me! Not that I don't like cocktail sauce on other things, and I love regular horseradish, especially witrh beef. Wasabi? WAAAY to wicked for me! ( And I've been told a few times that I've got balls! ) ;D ;D ;D

Greatest horseradish I ever had was labelled "nitrous hot" and I agree. I put just a tiny amount of the juice on the tine of a fork with a maybe a fleck or two of the actual horseradish and it felt like I was kicked in the back of the head by a horse while a rocket ship took off through the top of my skull.
