Tudor MercWench Smith Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 I put it down to intimidation . . . there were a lot of us Bridgettes . . . for a while there until I found other places to go. Bad buisness on the bridge . . . That's a very good idea about signing the songs and the like, LS. I believe it was a group of monks in the late 1500 who developed sign language so they could communicate during vows of silence.
Rogue Mermaid Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 Merc Wench my friend, we need to spend less time in those other places and more time enjoying the whole shire Like the wine tasting area...... Or the balloon sword fighting.....

I my pirate sences are tingling.. trouble of the good an' fun type is afoot! I can see August and September are going to be very busy months, so many faires with so little time! our faire is running through the last weekend of october this year. 12 weekends and labor day - 25 patron days for 25 years of faire! hope to make the aquaintance of all ye sea dogs and wenches! i can hardly wait for the shire to awaken from its brigadoon-like sleep and open the gates! ~snow ~snow with faith, trust and pixiedust, everything is possible if it be tourist season, why can't we shoot them?

Tudor MercWench Smith Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 Very poetic, there Lady Snow - likening The Shire to Brigadoon. I like it! This is exicting - last year, even with my sister being an actress, I didn't get a chance to get to know any of the actors, but now I just might! Is anybody else as excited for the faire to start as I am? I'm going nuts here!!! Ah yes, the fight circle - fun stories with that. Last year at celtic fling, my one sister whiped the pants of me one best friend, but then, Irish Weekend, me other best friend - who mind you is a whopping 4'10" and3/16 - took my sister down in three blows, in a skirt none the less too! The question was raised how someone half my sister's size could beat her so badly. Yes, Rogue, maybe we'll have to make some excusions down that way . . . drag me away from the other places occasionally! What with my new fencing skills I'm learning, maybe I'll actually give the fight circle a try myself. Before, I didn't want to embarres myself in front of everyone.
lady snow Posted February 25, 2005 Author Posted February 25, 2005 since i discovered my fencing skills at the scottish/irish fest in valley forge last weekend, i'm going to just have to try my hand at the fight circle this season! my young cabin boys had an match a few years back and the younger one is ready for his revenge, methinks. up for a tournament? could really get one going bertwen the rogues and wenches and i'd say the wenches would be hard to get the upper hand on! pirate season - here we come! ~snow ~snow with faith, trust and pixiedust, everything is possible if it be tourist season, why can't we shoot them?

PyratePhil Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 I don't know about THAT, Lady Snow... ...there be a few wenches here whot I'd like to get an upper-hand hard on...I mean, a hard upper-hand on... ...Qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum... ~ Vegetius
Rogue Mermaid Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 A Piracy Pub tournament. That would be fantastic...I'd get my arse kicked.
Tudor MercWench Smith Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Well, I'd give it a go. Mind you, I've only learned a little bout fencing, so I'd proly lose - but I'd lose with style mind you!
Rummy3 Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 I don't know about THAT, Lady Snow......there be a few wenches here whot I'd like to get an upper-hand hard on...I mean, a hard upper-hand on... <- Wench in training here Pyrate Phil... Was it Wench that I heard ye be needin?

lady snow Posted February 26, 2005 Author Posted February 26, 2005 (PyratePhil @ Feb 25 2005, 12:57 AM) I don't know about THAT, Lady Snow......there be a few wenches here whot I'd like to get an upper-hand hard on...I mean, a hard upper-hand on... is that a fruedian slip, pphil? or a secrert (not) desire? there is swordplay at the celtic fling in june, too, at the parf faire shire. i've only had one match but i did win! A Piracy Pub tournament. That would be fantastic...I'd get my arse kicked. win or lose really doesn't make much difference - the name of the game is fun! ~snow ~snow with faith, trust and pixiedust, everything is possible if it be tourist season, why can't we shoot them?

Tudor MercWench Smith Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 Wonder if we could get a group rate if we did have a Pub tournament?
lady snow Posted February 26, 2005 Author Posted February 26, 2005 hey -it wouldn't hurt to ask! would be more publicity for the fight circle and that could mean more business. and what merchant could argue with the free advertising! ~ snow ~snow with faith, trust and pixiedust, everything is possible if it be tourist season, why can't we shoot them?

PyratePhil Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 Be nice if they'd let me use two hands... ...Qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum... ~ Vegetius
Tudor MercWench Smith Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 To fence . . . or something else entirely there, Phil?
