I am coming and hopefully, the Lady of the House is coming also but might be limited by the two shorter Princesses (not sure if they can come or not to the preview being 7yoa).

What time does everyone plan to arrive for Preview? I'm thinking of stocking an ice chest ...

Saddly the PP got called into an audition and I won't get to go to preview. I was really looking forward to it, but thanks to a director who does what he wants  (He is not my fav person right now)  Since PP can't go , I can't either.  :'(
It is kind of strange watching your personal history become costume.

Made our reservations today. Other than it starts at 1...I dunno about arrival time. Are we allowed to have a tailgate party beforehand?  :P

Merlin the Elder

Well, last year Nim and I got there about noon, I think, and just kind of hung around and chatted a few people up. I can't imagine anyone having a problem with a bunch of us visiting in the parking lot.  Any staff out here that could speak up on the question?

I just noticed that the FOF FAQ hasn't been updated for 2011...

QuoteSunday, April 4, 2010 from 1pm to 6pm. We will begin taking photos at 1pm; dinner service will begin at 4pm. The preview is open to Friends of the Faire only and passes will be checked at the gate. Please call the office at 972-938-3247 no later than March 24, 2010 and make reservations so that we know how much food to order.

They are not helping me with my date dyslexia! I am assuming it is on Sunday April 3rd? Same bat place, same bat time?

Merlin the Elder

Yeah...unless they've made major changes, it's the Sunday before opening...If not, we'll all be there and we'll have our own party!

I'm sure I saw some correspondence ... so be there!

If you lot plan on that sort of thing, I will most likely stay with a friend in Crowley the night before and then get to the gate at around noon or so.

Can't believe its only two weeks away!

Noonish sounds like a winner to me.

Lady Stitch, I hate that you and PP aren't going to be there! You'll be there the following week, though, right?

I've threated the PP's man hood if he is not going opening day if that says anything :)

LadyStitch, I'm sorry you won't be there. We're planning on noonish with some fast food lunch and some parking lot wine. They'll start taking pictures for passes about 1:00pm so wuite a few people will show up in garb. That's always worth watching for a bit before going in.
