From the September 28, 2001 Newsletter
- Sign out Front —
A Knight's Tale starts at 9:30pm.
- Posing with the Poster
— Ooooo Heath Ledger has such GREAT pores!
- Fund Raising —
ATF (with the help of the lovely Lady Ampersand and her handsome
bard, James) managed to collect $144 to be donated to the New York Firefighters
Scholarship Fund to help the children left behind in the wake of the
attacks.
- Dancing Peasant —
She's seen the dancing scene in the movie, right?
- Group Shot —
Play a game of "Count the Rennies"! And each and every one
of them had their meal paid for by JP. Doesn't that make you want to
show up at our next outing?
From the September 10, 2001 Newsletter
- Medici Grove
— Did you know that IRF is actually "themed" to be set
in medieval Italy?
- 1996 Mugs —
We bought one of each style, simply because that was the year Willa
started attending IRF!
- There Be Dragons!
— What an awesome daily treat for the kids! And we had
a blast quaking in fear.
- WWWow! — What
would our puzzles be without piecing together some cleavage? Oh, and
some blatant advertising for Willa's Washer Well Wenches.
- See You Next Year!?
— This sign tells so much about festival life. There
are so many unknowns...

- ATF's First Evidence of the Existance
of Willa — After JP and I started dating, I went back to
look through the photos he had taken of the various faires we'd been
to at the same time without knowing each other. Oddly, I found a photo
with me in it from the 1997 Iowa Renaissance Faire! (Of course, I wasn't
Willa back then.)
- John-Paul Finally in His Own Photo Gallery!
— Here's a picture of JP at IRF in '98 with Lucy and
Marco. For many years, JP took the photos of himself out of the gallery.
Now, he likes it when his photo is on the front page of the site ;)
- JP & Willa, Together at Last
— Our very first date was a weekend at KCRF in 1999.
I'll have to write an article on that someday. For now, here is the
first faire photo of us together.
- Shattock Boys — My
how they grow up in just two years...This is Jaspar and Robespierre
from IRF '99.

And finally we have what may very well be my favourite faire photo
of all time...Wybreg Village Fall 2000.
From the July 9, 2001 Newsletter
- A Renaissance Shield —
At the front gate was a huge wooden shield that had the festival's name
burned into it. Beautiful!
- John-Paul Videotaping —
The rose rogue found his magic box again and captured lots of souls.

To the victor goes the spoils. Or something like that.
- Minstrosity — Josephine
plays the hammered...guitar?
- Last Huzzah —
Sway back and forth together as we sing a few songs and spread the
pickle love.

I used to love this photo because of the smiling faces...

This was the photo I cherished because I recognized all the faces

in getting this photo taken that we would have it become a tradition...and
has it ever!

we met our beloved Sheila...a very special faire for us!
- Iowa Renaissance Faire — JP
woo'd the fair Lady Melissa and her invisible dragon.
- Kansas City Ren Faire — Yes,
he was being wenched. But I picked this pic because the husband of the
lady kissing him is standing in the background...check out that pose!
- Wybreg Village Fall —
A great couple of ladies to end the season with. With a face like
that, how could you NOT kiss him?
From the March 23, 2001 Newsletter

best jouster we've ever seen (closely followed by all of the
other H-L jousters, frankly). Taken at Wybreg Village Fall 2000
- Shattock Schoole of Defence —
The best swishy-pokey group ever! Are there any others? Everyone
else merely does live steel combat...SSD takes it a step further! Taken
at IRF 2000
- Ren Faire of the Midlands —
The best first impression of a festival. We love this castle facade!
Taken at RFotM 1999
- Ethan James — The best hurdy
gurdy player we've ever heard. Okay, you got us...we'd never even heard
of a hurdy gurdy until Ethan, but he sure makes it sing! (Pictured with
one of the Fairfield Players) Taken at Wybreg Spring 2000

Okay, okay...I have no idea what we're the best of, but we're certainly

served by the most wonderful people. (Pictured is Johnny, owner and

- Mother Pockets — Hands down,
the best faire food we've ever tasted. Her potato soup is the best on
earth! Taken at KCRF 2000
- Old Wine Cellar Winery
— We're big fans of wine, and nothing loosens up the
ol' inhibitions than a nice glass at faire! We've tasted some really
good stuff, but we'd have to say that our favourite is Renaissance Red.
Taken at IRF 2000
From the February 27, 2001 Newsletter

the ultimate of ladies, Queen Verity is the person solely responsible
for Willa's desire to be a rennie. Taken at IRF 1998

met our beloved friend, he was walking around KCRF toting a sign saying
"Kisses 1¢. Remember it's the French Weekend." And it
just went downhill from there. Taken at HoMM 2000

this is Willa's favourite faire photo. Merlyn is not only a master

sure crack a whip! Taken at Wybreg Spring 2000
From the February 10, 2001 Newsletter

from the Hanlon-Lees Jousting Knights & Steeds. The one with the

reenactment society that Willa used to be a member of has since become
a fantastic viking encampment. Taken at RFotM 2000

- Orkes and Trolles — the alternative
madrigal singing group ATF couldn't live without! Taken at KCRF '99

it possible to have too many wenches? The Local 29 (a division of the
IWG) invaded and there was much rejoicing! Taken at KCRF 2000

- Road Sign — Do you feel lost?
Let this puzzle point you in the right direction! Taken at the Wybreg
Renaissance Festival, Fall 2000.
