It would be nice to see a page or two dealing in faire related or period information webpages. I did a two page section in the early issues of Renaissance Magazine for them called Cyber Crusaders, which featured just that. It was very popular for like 2 years then they pulled it for more pictures along with others articles and revamped the magazine. They never brought it back.

Whilst it comes to mind, a regular article or column on Period Cookery, be it Faire Food or for the Campsite, would not be unappreciated -- These long, cold winters make me miss the tastes of the Faires, and recipes to re-create them within the confines of my own kitchen wouldst relieve some of the tedium of short days and long nights. Of particular interest to myself would be the recipe for Cornish Pastys as were sold at King Richard's Faire in Wisconsin (Now called sthe Bristol Renaissance Faire) during the first two years of its existence. The shoppe that sold them handed out free copies of the Recipe to patrons, so someone somewhere may still have a copy...

I like the idea of cd reviews. I rarely buy cd's at Renfaires. I buy more on line from companies or acts that I've already heard. I don't know the names of a lot of the tunes I hear so some prodding & reviews could help sway my purchases.

Personally I also like that idea of reviewing faire performer cd's. That is a good way of spreading the word of a group and their type of musice, likes and dislikes.
