9:57 PM - Joseph (Ivy Soap Works) needs our help (posted by
JohnPaul
)
Back in the heyday of AtTheFaire, we had some great Ren merchant friends, such as Ivy Soap Works. Joseph Skeene (who I believe we saw buy his first pay of Renaissance boots at a Renaissance festival in Iowa) is going through something that sounds dreadful, and is asking for support:

If you could drop something in his Go Fund Me, it would be greatly appreciated.

The entire AtTheFaire photo gallery has been regenerated, and a few new events added to the mix:

Much cleanup still to be done, and several events still to be added, but ... it's a start!

11:50 AM - Massive photo gallery update in progress. (posted by
JohnPaul
)
Most of this week has been spent getting the Iowa gallery updated, and the goal is to regenerate everything in the new format and have it available in coming weeks. My 9 year old computer and DSL connection isn’t as fast as it could be, so it takes many days of 24/7 uploading to push almost 250,000 files to my server.
Standby…

12:32 PM - Oktoberfest event in Des Moines (posted by
JohnPaul
)
Adventureland in Des Moines is holding it's 2nd annual Oktoberfest event on Saturday, October 1. The cost will be $15 (which includes free parking, one free Sam Adam's beer, and a souvenir photo). Most of the park rides will be open, with 13 bands on five stages and various games and contests.
I have a new website project for this. If you are in the area, consider making it out.

11:27 PM - No Des Moines Renaissance Faire this year (2016) (posted by
JohnPaul
)
Just to reiterate ... there is NO Des Moines Renaissance Faire this year. It will not be happening until 2019. They signed a no-compete contract with Sleepy Hollow Sports Park, and will not operate an event in the Des Moines area for three years.
When you contact me with feedback on "DMRF", you mean the Sleepy Hollow event, and this is why things are so different -- it's a different event, on the same property that Des Moines Renaissance Faire was for ten of its 13 years in operation.
There is a short letter posted at http://www.dmrenfaire.com on the front page that explains the situation. Drop by and check it out.

3:43 PM - New website (not Ren-related) (posted by
JohnPaul
)
I wanted to put a link here so it will get in to Google quickly:
http://micss.atthefaire.com
Not Renaissance festival related, except one of the members is/was a RenFest leather merchant I met almost 20 years ago at the Iowa Renaissance Festival.
Nothing to see here. Move along...

11:44 AM - Website issues. Please stand by... (posted by
JohnPaul
)
AtTheFaire has had some issues the past few months and I just haven't had the motivation to look in to it. I finally started, and have figured out a workaround to get things running while we get a real solution in place.
During this, I discovered several thousand photos I still need to sort and post, so the entire photo gallery is going to be updated/redone soon. Though, it may take weeks to get it all uploaded because of my limited internet access these days.
Please stand by . . . And follow me on Facebook for more stuff.
