Hi everyone! I've missed you all since the last fair at Vacaville, but let me introduce myself to those of you who don't know me. In '85 the court guild was asked to appoint patrons to all of the other guilds, in an effort to improve guild relationships. Everyone in the guild laughed when I asked for the criers, and I got you guys.
I remained the patron until the last year at Vacaville, with the exception of 3 years, 90-92. I was the guy that the northern guild would mob hug during Mayor's parade, among other times.
That said, here's the problem. Due to a lot of issues, many involving the activities around Leland and Leslie's divorce, Leland has virtually nothing of his mother to remember her by. So here's the request - if you have any photos with Audrey in them, any at all, please scan them and send them to me. I am working with a non-faire friend of his to create a memory album of his mom.
Leland's hanging in there, and it looks like Lee Presson and the Nails are slowly starting to increase their gigging, perhaps they'll even get together again.
So once more, I'm glad I get to see you all again, and please send what you can to my email address at philip-at-mchsi-dot-com.
With love and fond memories,
Philip Tuley
aka Sir Henry Hastings, the Earl of Huntingdon
aka Sir Thomas (Bucky) Sackville, Baron of Buckhurst
aka Sir Thomas Bedingfield, Queen's Bullyboy and chief assassin.

Re: A request from your once and future patron to help Leland -
Mon, December 11, 2006 - 8:31 AMI have at least one and perhaps a few more. I will scan them as soon as possible. I had no idea about what is going on. If you happen to speak to Leland please send him my love.

Long time no see! I will look through and see what I can dig up, I will also see if I can get a hold of some of the older criers from previous years (I see a few every couple of weeks these days.) I think Regina would be one of the best people for photos like that, I do not know if still have her contact though. If anyone out there does please let one of us know. She has been known to pop in at Dickens every so often and the last time I saw her was there some years ago.
Just in case any of ya'll is interested Lee Press-On will be doing a show next month at the DNA Lounge in San Francisco on Saturday, 6 January 2007. Drop me a note if you would like more info. -

Wed, December 13, 2006 - 12:05 AMI've already got the few photos Regina had, I'm in contact with her a fair amount.
As to the DNA lounge, I'd have to be able to take the family, and since Anthea's only, (gasp) 18 now. (Yep, that's right, the cute little girl's an adult, and finishing high school this year.) We can't all go in. Ah well. I'm hoping Leland will come visit up here in Lake County next month. Oh, and remember, don't tell him, this is going to be a surprise. -

Wed, December 13, 2006 - 10:56 AMYou know... DNA has a kitchen now so they technically can have 18+ for events. I will ask Barry about Leland's show if it is going to be an 18+ night (they told me they are only doing live shows as 18+, soo....)
Sorry, I am not gonna leave you an excuse to miss this one :)
And wow, she's 18 now? Last time I saw her she was a little pip-squeak running around the faire.
