Here is an article from the Kitsap Sun Newspaper with regards to the conflict over the new site for the Washington Ren Faire.  

Some of the comments are really interesting.  Some are just scary!

Also, here is a link to the petition that was being circulated by opposition to the faire:

Thought you'd be interested.

These are the types of things all rennies face at one time or another.

Please Support the WA State Ren Fair > Help Needed - Fwd from Ron Dear Friends: July 15th Mason County Commissioners will be voting on the final approval for the temporary permit to allow us to run the Washington Renaissance Faire. Unfortunately the Commissioners have been hearing constantly from a small but passionate and very vocal few who oppose our event. We would like to ask that you contact the commissioners and respectfully voice your support so that when they vote, they know there is a very large majority of supporters. Tim Sheldon: Tims@co.mason.wa.us Ross Gallagher: rossg@co.mason.wa.us Linda Ring Erickson: lyndare@co.mason.wa.us Please pass this message to anyone who you believe may be interested in showing their support. Your help and support is deeply appreciated, we are down to the wire and we need this permit. Thank you. Ron Director, WA State Fantasy Faire http://www.washingtonrenfaire.com/

O.K. so, this is JUST what I needed - yet another online account.  Ha, Ha.  Well?  I guess if it helps me to keep in touch with people it can't be all bad.

I'm already on "My Space". "Dance Faces", "Tribes"  and more yahoo e-groups then I really have time for....  but I guess I like it or I wouldn't keep adding myself to them, right?

Most of my friends seem to be "Virtual" these days.  I move all the time and if it wasn't for my computer I think I'd go completely insane.  Luckily e-mail is here and I am able to talk to people half way around the world!!  YAY!!

Anyway - Here I am setting up, yet another, online account.   Welcome.

And for anyone who actually takes the time to read my incessant babble....  Thank You.
