I've mentioned it before, and few people said that they were going already, so I figured I'd make this to see who's going and if they'd like to meet-up
#Oxfords Renaissance Festival Meet-Up?
fast bronze
I have all my outfit, I just need to do some embroidery (and possibly replace my shirt)
west vault
my tunic needs some rework and I'd like to finish my fake seax & sheath for it
west vault
They very helpfully have a countdown timer until it begins on the official site
fast bronze
@grave quail I remembered you mentioned you were planning to go
grave quail
I will be, yes!
west vault
actually worked on my tunic a little, still have more to go on it tho
grave quail
I should have asked you guys but I was at the renfair today, were you?
I'll still be at oxford next saturday
west vault
We've got tickets for Saturday at Oxford
grave quail
nice!
west vault
Trying to get my outfit finished tomorrow because we're going to see Wardruna on Monday in Toronto
grave quail
oh cool
fast bronze
I'll be at Oxfords for both day events
west vault
Weather looks good
fast bronze
It'll likely be muddy though
grave quail
I'll HOPEFULLY have my turnshoes done for it
gotta finish some pattern adjustments tomorrow then its just cutting and sewing
west vault
I'm just going to wear my hiking boots 😅
west vault
it's definitely looking muddy at this rate, so much rain all week
grave quail
Lol yeah
I'm also definitely not gonna have my turn shoes ready. Had to restart yesterday :/
west vault
just as well, they'll be safe from the mud at least
grave quail
I think I'll pivot into waterproofing my hood today instead
grave quail
hood is waxed and drying. Partial failure as I was hoping to not soak through to the lining but did in some parts so now I have to wax the rest if I want to wear it inside out. Not a big issue, just annoying
So do we want to meet somewhere at a certain time? I probably wont be there before noon
fast bronze
I'm hoping to be there at gate open since they always have a pre-show with the cast
west vault
We have a bit of a drive, still working out if we want to be there for pre-show or just doors open
grave quail
I work overnight so getting to anything this distance before noon is usually impossible
if I can leave right on time I should be there 11:40
west vault
We'll arrive a little closer to noon now
grave quail
Seems like clear weather? Extremely dense fog over at my place
west vault
@fast bronze what is the ground like?
grave quail
I dont put my face in public forums but this is the garb you'll be looking for at least
grave quail
Ok i should be at the parking field by 11:40 so I'll be at the fair shortly after that
west vault
We're parked and heading in
fast bronze
I'm at the castle gate
grave quail
Just parked now and am gearing up and then making the walk over
grave quail
Waiting in line now. The line for pre bought tickets is about 10 times longer than the line for people who need tickets XD
@fast bronze @west vault I'm just inside the gate now
grave quail
I'm heading to the cannons
fast bronze
I'm in the food area by the canons
grave quail
I'm stood beside a pole at the cannon can you see me?
Ok well I think the joust is starting so I'm heading there
fast bronze
I can see the pole, but I can't see you because of the tents in my way
The Internet went out when I replied to the message
There, now my messages send
grave quail
Lol residue and I are at the joust. Look for the Scotland flag and the yellow flag with a red lion on it
We're just to the right of those flags which are on the seats
grave quail
We're inside the main building filling up water
fast bronze
I'm still at the tent
grave quail
Looks like we're getting food so we'll be a bit over there, long lines
fast bronze
Show is over
west vault
Signal is terrible here :p
grave quail
Good picture! Glad to meet you as well man! And yeah sorry grim, I never managed to find you, but maybe some other time
Hopefully you still had a good time at the faire
west vault
I was also looking for Grim, but didn't cross paths.
I barely recognized Gwindan's outfit from the picture as it was 😅
