The Entertainment Coordinator for Virginia Renaissance Faire put out a call for stage acts.

FaireNews.com suffered hardware failure which prevented the Interviews and Future posts from being made. The laptop now has new parts, the software has been reinstalled, the blog background has been fixed and it’s all pretty again, the next interview is mostly finished, and we should be back to our regularly scheduled mischief and mayhem.
See you at Faire!
