Well...let's get an early start shall we? ;D 1. John Davis not entertainment director.  2. Hack & Slash most likely gone. 3. Other acts like Freelancers and Emuzeki...likely not coming back because of John's influence. 4. Larry Rickard still owning GLMF. If I ever win the lottery...Larry...I'll pay you to leave and just retire.  Now...Axel/Scott is a veteran, so I am certain he will do well and am counting on him to pick up where John left off. If not...I'm moving to Holly, Michigan.... |

First off, 2008 hasn't even begun yet.
Second, If you have so much anomosity for the man who owns the faire....get out of his sandbox.
Third, can you ever say anything positive?
Fourth, I've already talked to three acts (all of which "Wouldn't be here if John wasn't ED )to whom all want to come back next year. Two of these acts are very close friends of his.

Not being a "wet blanket" here...but I just wanted to point out something in that...
"WANTING" to come back and actually being ASKED to come back are two different things. JD managed to snag acts that hadn't been here in ages like Broon and Fool Hardy not to mention The Rogues AND The Tartan Terrors...now, whether the new ED has such clout...well...we'll have to wait and see, won't we?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and be so bold as to even suggest that many long absent acts finally returned to GLMF simply because JD WAS the ED....
Just an observation....

I know for a fact that JD wasn't the one who brought all the old entertainment back. He did invite a few though. He also wasn't the one who brought all of the new acts in. As you may not know there are several people scouting for the faire all year long who talk to new talent before they even get to the faire and meet the ED.

Ya know...it's always hard to take anyone seriously when they remain "anonymous" and avoid allowing the rest of us to put a name and a face together...but maybe that's just my lil' pet peeve...

To be fair. Most who post here as guests are just that.
Guest. People who either don't join message board, or for some reasons, can't join this board.
Either because they just don't join boards, or because they are here so rarely that they don't want to bother making an account.
Very rarely is it an existing member who is posting annonymously.
I know, because as admin, I have ways of learning these things.
It is one of the reasons I keep the board open for guests to read and post.
I like getting as much input as possible on topics.
As well as, as many different points of veiw as I can.
And I do have to side with the guest on this subject.
Yes John brought some acts in.
But the ED isn't the only one who brings people in.
Larry has a hand in things, both new and old acts.
As well as several other people.
I am sure though that some of the old acts did return in large part because their friend John had asked and would be in charge.
But that doesn't mean they won't return, just because John is no longer here.
A lot will probably depend on who the new ED is, and what kind of contract they are offered.

As you may not know there are several people scouting for the faire all year long who talk to new talent before they even get to the faire and meet the ED. I don't remember saying anything about "new" talent...just acts that had been at GLMF for several years, then had "disappeared" only to "reappear" when John was here...I did the math inbetween and came up with my conclusion which is exactly that...MY conclusion. I didn't say it was cannon...I said it was an observation...and once more...contrary to popular belief...a great many of us are not "clueless" as to how things run behind the scenes...in fact, having gone to at least 6 or 7 Ren. Faires over many years and having had contacts with other people (Playtron and Cast) in a half a dozen more Faires...I'd say many of us have an expansive "Network" to gather, gleen and otherwise obtain information about Faires and how they are run. Oddly enough, I find that more times than likely it's the people at other Faires who have a better handle on what's going on in our own Faire than people who actually work there...A better vantage point as it were...but again...this is only my observation. |
