March has turned the corner and faire season in Texas has officially begun. Excalibur Fantasy Faire is first event of the season. A nice opening day with a good size attendece despite heavy overcast and threat of rain. But hey what's Excalibur without rain? Rain eventually kicked in by 4PM. But I still had an enjoyable, albeit tiring, time between watching the cast in action as well as socializing with my fellow ren enthusiasts.

The previous description and all these wonderful images are brought to you by Frank Hui. Because of his devotion, I have nothing to add. --Robyn Sotherby

A native fairy entreating some patrons	Robin and his men instructing this lad	Robin and John playing...	..cat and mouse with the sheriff
Of course I had to attend the show of my friend The Shantyman	Prince John and his ladies did as well	The man has a varied following	Even Big Sally has to take a day off
Scorch modeling the latest in warrior bodice chillers	It's functional as Beth learns	The Bedlam Bards are always on hand	This guy actually paid for this
The Prince having a repast with some Saxon and Norman nobles	Not the most harmonious setting	The Lady Rowena is the subject of conversation	She's caught the attention of Norman knights
