AFR/TRF
WinterFire
Invasion weekend this year - my question is this: is there a get-together
for "members" of AFR? Also, how do you go about meeting people at the
faire..? I've heard it can be a bit more awkward than usual.....I find this
*VERY* hard to beleive, but I just wanted to confirm. I really have no
friends in the Houston area, so I'll be quite alone that weekend...and I'm
not camping on-site, so are there any parties other than those..?

Hail and well met! :) I will be attending Invasion Weekend at TRF also,
flying in from MI with 2 friends. We're flying into IAH at 7:49 PM on
Friday the 10th. We'll be staying at the Motel 6 on Northwest Freeway
in Houston, and flying out again on the 13th around noon. I don't know
anyone in Houston, either, so maybe we can compare notes if we find out
about anything fun happening!! :) There *must* be something fun going
on that we can get in on, right?
Oh, and if we don't hook up before then, you will almost always find me
wherever the Rogues are playing -- just follow the sound of pipers...
*grin*

Best bet for meeting other AFRians at TRF... Corsairs and/or Iris and
Rose: Wild and Thorny shows at the Sea Devil. (The Sea Devil is always a
hub of activity, from what I can tell). Look for Ren.Geek pins, IWG
(Wenches Guild), IBRSC (Rogues Guild) pins. Be sure to see Sound and
Fury on the brand-spankin' new Odeon stage, I know that I'll definitely
be in that audience as many times as possible, and hopefully other
AFRians as well. Stop in at Pendragon Costumes to meet Mistress
MaritaBeth and Starr.
Cindilaine also has a website (and hopefully she'll pipe in here with
that address!) which lists folks who plan on being at TRF

last year. you can view it with last years gang at
http://www.rengeek.org. Go to McDane's Tavern and click on the link to
TRF 1999 pictures. I will most likely be planted at the Sea Devil all
day. But if not me someone else will have the banner there. I'll also
have an AFR sign in book. So just accost whoever has the Otter banner.
Instant friends!

Look for the big guy with a shiny helmet (plumed, unless it is raining), shiny
armor (brown leather jerkin underneath), and carrying a large German
basket-hilt sword on a baldric. That'll be me. I will probably be working
with the military encampment, either as pikeman or bugler, and may be pulling
guard duty for the royals. I will be there all day Saturday, and most of the
day on Sunday. Say hi.

Norm do you remember the loud "Hi Norm" from across the parking lot the
opening day of MD? I don't know if I mentioned it, but it wasn't John or I
that spotted you, it was our older daughter Samantha who'd only saw a
picture or two of you! That helmet is better ID than your drivers
license!!!

"Ah, Aimee Porter. How often I have gazed at you from across the coffee
shop, longing to smell your hair, to feel your sympathetic cheek against
mine.
Thus far, I have failed to catch Aimee's eye. I have waited for the
perfect moment to make my approach, but it has not yet come. But when it
does, I believe my trump card shall spell love for us both. For Aimee
Porter, I sense, is a woman of considerable intelligence and discernment--a
woman who cannot help but appreciate some of the finest wit and cinematic
brilliance ever produced, the immortal Monty Python And The Holy Grail.
Even now, I can see that fateful conversation in which we finally
connect as soulmates. While engaging her in superficial conversation on such
trivial matters as the weather or her interests, I shall cunningly seek my
chance to insert a brilliant Grail quote.
Perhaps the presidential election will come up, affording me the
opportunity to say, "Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the
masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony!" Or maybe, while talking
about the unusual cold spell of the past week, she will make some
sophisticated meteorological observation, rendering it appropriate for me to
blurt out, "Who are you who are so wise in the ways of science?" Or
perchance, after all these months, she will finally ask what my name is, and
I will be able to come back with, "There are some who call me... Tim." I
would then laugh and tell my fair Aimee that, joking aside, I'm really
called Larry. In that moment, I will have won her.
After all, what more could a fetching lass want than to be wooed with
perfectly memorized dialogue from the funniest film ever made? I should like
to meet the maiden so arrogant that even a spot-on rendition of "The Ballad
Of Sir Robin" is insufficient to melt her stony heart.
It's funny, isn't it? How you can go through life, seeing a certain
someone as no more than a fringe player in your existence and then, one
magical day, you find out they can recite the Holy Grail script from memory,
and you're not such a stuck-up princess toward them anymore?
That shall be a glorious day, my dear Aimee. Taller than a Knight Of
Ni will I stand on that day when your heart is won. I shall quote entire
scenes to your lovely and impressed face, be they the Bring Out Your Dead
scene, the Killer Rabbit scene, or the Witch Trial.
I shall woo you with the dulcet tones of the Camelot song, flawlessly
singing even its most inscrutable lyrics, including, "Between our quests we
sequin vests and impersonate Clark Gable." What man in this coffee shop but
I can lay claim to knowing these words?
Once you have been won over, I will bring you back to my parents'
luxuriously appointed basement, where I shall show you all of the edited
Grail footage from the 7th Level CD-ROM game. And, rest assured, I will show
you the rare, never-before-seen King Brian The Wild scene featured at the
end of the game. Yes, I realize it is a rather uninspired rendition of a
decades-old script by the five surviving Pythons--and inexplicably truncated
in ways that remove the original jokes from their context--but let us not
lose sight of that fact that it is, after all, a scene deleted from Holy
Grail.
If this were not enough, I shall also show you my VHS dub of the
extras from the Criterion laserdisc of the film. The original theatrical
trailer, the scene from the Japanese dub, the little extra bit of footage in
The Tale Of Sir Galahad... whatever you wish shall be thine.
Ah, Galahad! How much like Michael Palin as Sir Galahad am I, longing
for the touch of a fair maiden, only to be dragged unceremoniously from the
Castle Anthrax by unsympathetic Knights or that guy who's always hanging
around Aimee and may or may not be her boyfriend. But I will prevail in the
end. I will find my moment, look Aimee more or less in the eye, and dazzle
her with my arcane knowledge of Grail.
Oh, to hell with this beating about the proverbial bush! This eternal
strategizing and conniving! I should simply get up, walk right over to
Aimee, drop to one knee, and say, "Oh, fair one, behold your humble servant
Sir Launcelot of Camelot, I have come to take y-- Oh, I'm terribly sorry."
And then stand up and look all confused, just like in the Swamp Castle
scene. That is what a real man would do!
No, no--patience is the watchword here. A creature as desirable as
Aimee has no doubt seen that approach a hundred times over. More is required
of me. Even more than the Swamp Castle scene.
But wait! What if, beneath her delightful countenance, Aimee is a
hated Brianist? That all-too-common breed of boorish philistine who actually
prefers Life Of Brian to the obviously superior Grail? Let it not be, my
fair Aimee. Say that you can see past Brian's flat sex jokes and
speech-impediment-driven farce.
Well, we shall cross that bridge when we come to it. (As long as we
can answer The Three Questions, that is!) If true love is at stake, she will
surely be willing to convert.
Yes, Aimee Porter, it may take an eternity. And fire, flood, and
bickering, gay, three-headed knights may stand between us. But one day, we
will find our way to each other's arms, and there forever stay.
And there will be much rejoicing..."
