Tennessee Ren Faire Memorial Day Weekend

deweese — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 00:24:50 +0000

Well the final weekend of the Tennessee Renaissance Faire was held over Memorial day weekend. There was a little bit of rain each day, but overall, the weekend was very enjoyable. The International Gath of Baal jousting tournament was great to watch as always, and it is now time to look forward to the 2011 ren faire season.

Here are a couple of pictures.

I made it out to most of both days of the faire this weekend, and I have to say that it was definitely the hottest weekend to date. The temperature topped 91 on Sunday, and there was little breeze to speak of either day. I only stayed half of the day on Sunday as I didn’t feel like dealing with the heat anymore, and I wanted to make it home to catch the series finale of LOST.

I combined both days into one gallery, as I didn’t shoot much on Sunday.

TNRF 5-15-2010

Well I headed out to TNRF again on Saturday, and had a great day. We went there for Steve’s birthday, and as soon as he arrived, he brought the rain with him. Luckily I had my Think Tank Photo Hydrophobia with me and I was able to put it to the test. It worked great. I am still waiting for my eyepiece to arrive, but I was able to make it work for the day without the eyepiece attached. My camera stayed completely dry and I was able to easily use all of the controls.

Here are some selected pictures.

Tennessee Ren Faire Final Weekend Pictures

deweese — Wed, 27 May 2009 16:50:02 +0000

Well another season of the Tennessee Renaissance Festival has come to a close. It was a very wet year, but I still had a great time regardless. It is always a great time, and a chance to hang out with some people that I only really get to see one time a year. I didn’t take as many pictures this year as normal, as I didn’t want to have the camera out with the chance of rain, but I still had it out for most of the last Saturday of the faire.

Here are a couple of samples.

TNRF 2009

Ren faire this year has been quite different, as it has rained almost every day. This last Sunday was the first time that I was able to take the camera out with me to get some pictures. The gallery can be seen at http://www.dwrd.net/photography/galleries/tnrf-2009/.

There is one more weekend of faire left, and then I am going up to Indiana to be a handler/photographer for Hofmann when his base is trooping a roller derby match, and then the state Harley rally, and back to GA for the final weekend of GARF.

After the weekend of the 5th, I think I will be able to have a couple of weekends to just spend around the house continuing the process of unpacking the rest of the boxes are haunting my garage.

Current Mood: drained

Weekend wrap-up

deweese — Mon, 07 May 2007 21:34:00 +0000

Well this was a great weekend. On Saturday, and I headed to the TN Renaissance Festival. We hung out with Ivan and Summer and got to see Joe and who are part of the cast. We went to most all of the shows etc. It was a good time. Ivan had a new Robin of Locksley costume. We were talking and decided that I could be Friar Tuck. I figured that I could make it with some stuff that I had at home.

After we left the faire, we went to ‘s reception for her teaching graduation. Congrats again Erin. I borrowed a couple of robe patterns from and headed home to try to make a Friar robe for the following day. When I was looking through what fabric I had, I found a robe that I had started to make a while back at a sewing day that I had forgotten about. It had one deep emperor sleeve on it and that was about it. I pulled that sleeve off, which conveniently became the hood for my robe, made some sleeves, and after about 2 hours of work, here is what I came up with. Friar Tuck version 1.0.
