Well mateys and bunnies, (be ya plunder ergh knots) Bakersfield has a mighty reputation 'ere on the coast, one that sure seems ta fit. (ITS HOT THERE) Damn! Hot! three twelve packs a beck's twenty four bottles of water and a gallon of ice tea later. The after effects of sun stroke having been mellowed out as if I were feeling scurvy ergh somethin! All's well! It were a goodly small (remember this was the innaugural event there) get together of many known and unknow pirates from shires throughout the southwest. Gate work be me gig and I does it well fer the producers made certain invite fer me return and ad their other faire in November as well to me list of duties and tasks fer the upcomings season. We talked about putting on the faire as the first faire of the season the week afore Palm Springs and the complete and total need fer lots more shade. Fer the sun it was brutal. Took solice going to the mall in the early afternoon and walkin about in garb passing out flyers to the locals fer sundays conquest of gate doubling success. (actually marketing 101 and the mall was air conditioned) fun was had by all ceptin fer a friends guild truck blew a head gasket in the wrong place and that were a dread problem of commute fer repair. THe nobles were accurately portrayed and the guild yards did show many battles fer the patrons. Ifin only the beer vendor hadn't backed out on the ninth hour! Yes it turned out it were a dry faire but not by design and will be fully flowing wet by next year! A good to great time was had by all!
