Notes:
- The Tartan Terrors just last week had their van and trailer stolen while returning from their 3 months at the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire. The trailer contained all of their equipment and costumes and they believe it to be worth about 100k. For more information, go to http://ysobelle.livejournal.com/337513.html.If you would like to help out, please visit http://www.parenfaire.net/homepage.asp and register for the forums.
- It has come to our attention that the "Tartanic" that played at the Texas Renaissance Festival is not the same band that created either of the albums Unmistakeable or Unthinkable. We apologize for our mistake.
- There is a scammer targeting musicians. See Marc Gunn's blog for more details
- Last chance to get a copy of The Circle, the Renaissance festival compilation CD.
- 3rd Annual Renaissance Festival Awards
- Send your calendar comments to Joe Haydu at calendar @ renaissancefestivalmusic.com
