Is everyone aware of the need to be different from all those that have gone before and passed on taking the torch of enlightenment? I work gate main gate at faire 24 last season, welcome, meet and greet and piece tying. Of all the guilds that go to each and every faire I do 4 maybe 8 percent of them actually show up to work willingly with good strong skilled players to involve the patrons fully into the faires atmosphere and direction of entertainment and fun. (I am happy to say Strangle hold always is in that small percentage.) But the balanc is there partying and ignore their dutys to the faire. They think the fair is for them and you see it when you pass by their guild and their arrogance and demeanor is strictly involved around themselves..... If we do this I vow that if some one walks by the encampment they will not be ignored they will be welcomed in and taught what it is we do that makes us different. and I think that promoting reading is that difference and all faires will eventually pick up on its importance and copy our lead! Yes our lead. At this time our name is irrelevent, now who's in?
