FriendsOfMDRF.org - THE BLOG!

I finished up both the history and current season pages to the website which concludes all I can do at the moment. Until the entertainment schedules and cast information goes up at www.rennfest.com , our site is as complete as it can be.

In fact, it's more complete than it ever has been!

I still have some FriendsofMDRF photos to upload to the gallery and to the archives, but I plan to do all of that over time, so each time you visit, there will be something new.

There are two points of interest on the site that I'm very pleased with. . .one is the interactive map of Revel Grove and the other is the javascript which loads a random "MDRF information nugget" every time you load the home page in your browser. These are simple bits of coding, but provide just the right touches to the site.

According to the KING himself: "First rehearsal for MDRF this morning. Thus begins 8 weeks of a brutal period combining rehearsals and multiple "summer rush" work projects. But I am 30 lbs. lighter, feeling healthy and optimistic. BRING IT!"

Fred's FaceBook

Spent the day yesterday updated our Friends of The Maryland Renaissance Festival site. It'll soon have a chat feature, it's own blog, updated wikipedia, a photo gallery, and a lot more (they're all working but not tested).

It's been over a year since I've done anything to the site and the basic design - which I still like - has been set since 2006. . .just needs to be re-layed out in CSS instead of regular HTML.

Check out the interactive map!

We are the Friends of the Maryland Renaissance Festival and you've found our online blog. Our main website is at http://www.friendsofmdrf.org.

Our Ongoing Mission to . . . .
. . . have fun. That's pretty much our only purpose in existing. Our organization is in place to have a good time as lovers of The Maryland Renaissance Festival (MDRF). Our membership contains a wide variety of people who have just as wide a range of Renaissance Festival experience but we all have one thing in common. . . . MDRF is our favorite faire and we all consider it our "home" festival. MDRF is an experience that brings us together in a group to socialize, regardless of age, politics, social status, or income bracket.

In short, that's all we are. . . a group of people who share a love and devotion to MDRF. You might think of us a MDRF "Trekkies" of a sort.

Once part of our membership, you'll discover that we all try to get together outside of MDRF and meet socially at various functions throughout the year. We also, as a group, attend other Renaissance Festivals and Faires as well as attend Celtic or Scottish events. We also support the entertainers of MDRF attending many of their appearances. As a group we've fell upon The O'Danny Girls, The Pyrates Royale, Hilby, Shakespeare's Skum, The Rogues, Hack and Slash, and several of the actors in roles outside of MDRF.

We also support new folks to the Renaissance Enthusiast hobby, helping folks with every aspect of how to enjoy our home of Revel Grove.
