naz Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Sounds interesting. I might go. I've been to Cloisters a bunch of times but never heard of this festival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xray the Enforcer Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Sounds very cool, but I am not sure I am going to be around that weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord of Oop North Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Funnily enough, I have a three-day weekend that coincides with the Rain-day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Esgred Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 Hello! :) I'll post meeting places and times within the next 24 hours. I hope our paths will cross. :) (We can exchange cell phone numbers too.) Here's hoping for weather that's not too hot and not too damp....! UPDATE: I don't know if the festival will be this weekend or next weekend. I'm thinking we could meet at the Pageant Wagon in the morning and/or at the Triangle Pub (behind the information booth) around 2 p.m. If we get split up (or even if we don't) we can meet up after the jousting somewhere as well. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Esgred Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 We will know around noon on Saturday if the festival is going ahead for this weekend or if it will be postponed to the rain date (next Sunday). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turinqui-Calima Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Ok, so the festival is on for tomorrow for sure and I am going for sure. Will PM my phone no to CE in case a meet us is happening, and I will continue to check thread. Hope to see some of you there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turinqui-Calima Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Nope, I don't think anyone went. The few of us who very free etc. decided not to cause of the rain. They should have just changed dates :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naz Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Ah well. Glad I didn't go, then. We should all do something, though, soon. I have an idea: How about a trip up to [url="http://www.stormking.org/"]Storm King Art Center [/url]around when the leaves are changing? Or we could always do karaoke again. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
