**Sterling eyeing his mistress**    Oh really Cheeky, and what sort of f conquests do ye have planned fer next weekend?  I shall have to remember to bring the noose...regardless...

Having just returned from RF4, I have to say that it definitely lived up to all the hype that I'd heard about it.  REALLY IMPRESSIVE! I felt like a kid in a candy store at Christmas time.  --So many different time frames & impressions represented.  The seminars were great, too! It was nice to be able to put some faces with the names that I see here on the website.  -- And Cheeky, it was nice to meet you! Flamingos & I are looking forward to seeing any picture postings that you're bound to have.  You really got around! It was nearly impossible to see everything, so your pictures may help fill in some of the gaps.

Although it is not a lot of photos, it is what I have.... It is mostly the pirates as that is mostly who I hung out with in my all too brief time at RF4.

I have to second the sentiments.... RF4 ROCKED!!! Can't wait till next year. Many thanks to Mikey and the staff for putting on one of the most unique and fun reenacting experiences. Love them Romans... love them pyrates!! 

Also great to meet you Lisa, although we didn't get those martinis! (you wouldn't let me when I wanted to, so  hehe)

I'll try to get some pics from Rachel & post them here too, she took a bunch....

I big thank you to all who showed up and made this event the BEST EVENT EVER!!!!

Most of us need a week to recover (I know I do!) and there will be photos soon....Gosh, I must have took about 300 or more...and I promise some great shots too!

I had a ton of fun...and though we all had a great time meeting everyone...there just wasn't enough time!  Perhaps we'll all have to come back and do it again next year?! 

But let's not forget to thank the man who made all this possible.  Thank you Mike Bollow...you're da man!

One of your lackys!

To THAT chap with the blue, gold and burgundy striped boxers, sticking out of the rear of his torn 95th Rifles trousers (ack!!! **my eyes...oops eye!!!**)
 and the exceptionally long "vibrating" shako pompon... Thank you so very, very much for making my birthday one I shall never forget! I had an incredible time and ye made it all the more perfect! The Crewe also had an amazing time of it...yer brilliant event grows better and better with each passing year... kudos MB...and thanks again for everything!


When ever ye need a helping hand....just say the word!

Yer Servant,
Sterling

[cheekyactress]

Hmm...I am wondering if anyone as quick enough to get a shot of those striped boxers?

 I must admit I wasn't ready for a face for of green wool when he showed us at the table! Thank heavens you have your bad eye toward him when that happened!

[Sterling]

HORRORS!!! Like one would wish for a reminder!   

[groomporter]

So... how did overall attendance compare to last year?

[Sterling]

I'm sure Cheeky can give you more details when she comes on, but she told me numbers were way up compared to RF2...it is growing, the halls were constantly crowded and the ball room was packed.

[cheekyactress]

Captain Sterling is right.

The numbers much higher than RF2 and RF3.  Though, I cannot give you the exact count, by appearences...it looks like the crowds were doubled!

The Vendor Halls were very busy (both levels) and photos from the ball (soon to be posted) show you that it was packed!  No room on the dance floor this year!

This can only be a good thing!

[Philonivs Maximvs]

No kidding..... mighty fine shindig! 

Oh, Mike Dollinger found this:

[cheekyactress]
