The Doctor Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Hmmm... Strange. The original thread on this faire seems to have been deleted. No matter!! The 2006 Ren Fest will run weekends and Labour Day from August 19th to October 1st. For information and season passes, call (800) 966-8215. On a bummer of a note, My Lady's Cutlass have decided not to perform at this year's MN festival due to schooling and family constraints. They will still be performing at Siouxland and Twig! :) I'll be sure to post their other upcoming appearances. All the best to Capt. Thalia and Jeanne! Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that?

The Doctor Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 We are very sad to say that Marysburg Books is now out of business - as in closed as of this past weekend - and so will not be able to host the planned mini ren fest next week. It's quite sad and for more reasons than the cancellation of the mini faire. It was a lovely, growing place. Just not able to keep up with the costs of the growth. Yo ho ho!

Red Bess Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 It's a shame My Lady's Cutlass won't be a MNRF. There's always plenty of good entertainment there, however. The Dregs, Drunk 'n' Disorderly...many more who's names escape me right now. I hope to see some of you pirates at Mac's Pub this season -- there's a pint in it for ye if you come up and introduce yourself to me and Sjoroveren! :) Ladies in Scarlet: Piratical Art and Accessories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merrydeath Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I"ve heard of a pirate fest on August 26-27 weekend.. and will try to make that one, I think. I have some peeps going that weekend, and may save some gas that way. Pirate Lass with sass, brass, a cutlass, an a nice *ss. Capt of the FOOLS GOLD PIRATES BLAST BREAST CANCER!

Jib Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Rumor on the pirate weekend is that it will also be beer tasting. I'll see if I can get a bunch of you who come in pirate garb in the parade that weekend if I can swing it with management. That is if you are interested.

Merrydeath Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 I was in the parade with the king of the pirates, aka the man in the purple coat of the Pirates of Portobello.. Nice man he was, took the hint that I would love to walking an talking with the others. A pirate and a gent.. Beer, pirates, and friends... doesn't get much better than that.

Jib Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 The MRF management can be a wee bit up tight. I suppose they might worry about a patron passing out during the parade run. I don't think it would be a problem but since they have issued my "Letter of Marque" I best remaind on the boss's good side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted July 5, 2006 Author Share Posted July 5, 2006 Ah, good point, Jib. Their liability insurance is probably through the roof as it stands. By the way; I found out that My Lady's Cutlass will be performing the second weekend of MRF! Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jib Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 My Lady's Cutlass back on the bill! Fantastic! I am a bit surprised since but pleasantly so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted July 25, 2006 Author Share Posted July 25, 2006 More news - Ian MacFarlane will be performing one day only: Sunday, Sept. 3rd. And we're at T minus 24 days, 18hours, 5 minutes, and 30 seconds until gate opening! Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merrydeath Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 damn crap and scummbucket!! I have to work that weekend now. and not sure when I have off in August.

Jib Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Don't worry about old Ian. He'll be out at MRF more than you think. We shall see if we can get him to do a few sets with us (Pyrates of Portobello). The problem is that he has a new job and can't get a full day off on Saturday. He promises to be back next year full time and do the Queens Pub. So my advice is keep a weather eye open for Ian as he wanders the streets of MRF.

The Doctor Posted July 26, 2006 Author Share Posted July 26, 2006 Yeah, I know about Ian's new work... I've hired him on! I'll be looking for the charismatic Scotsman.

The Doctor Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share Posted July 27, 2006 Oi! Jib! I've got a live one for ye! Her name is "Caitlin", a.k.a. "Caili". Blonde, tan, and drop dead gorgeous, I've sent her your way. Don't be shocked when this lovely mynx comes to chat you up! Consider it an early Christmas gift, yeah?! Yo ho ho!

The Doctor Posted August 8, 2006 Author Share Posted August 8, 2006 You're more than welcome, Jib. At my stage of life, living vicariously through another is rewarding in proportion to the lasciviousness of the nature of the intent being lived through, yeah? I followed it. Didn't you? Right! 10 days, 16 hours, and 26 minutes. (where's that damned "24" sound effect?!) Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merrydeath Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 MNRF trip is on.... August 25 to 27th. I have a few friends I am staying with there, and a pretty good sized group going from some rennies I know. Hey Jib and Jack.. you set up for a pirate who like to drink (some) and have fun (some more)? I'd like to meet as many of the pirates there as I can..

The Doctor Posted August 14, 2006 Author Share Posted August 14, 2006 Starting this weekend, The Minnesota Renaissance Festival shall be overrun by pyrates of every nation and intention. We've agreed to a few stipulations, however. Women and children will auctioned off, but you have to take your purchase(s) home before attempting to sell them on eBay for a profit. Anyone attempting to break this rule shall endure public ridicule and the confiscation of their decaf, half-fat, mocha latte. Repeat offenders shall be strung up and used for lighting rods or mud-puddle bridges. The fun continues weekends and Labour Day through October 1st in Shakopee, Minnesota. Yo ho ho!
