I did manage to find his booth on Saturday but everyone there seemed to be busy at the moment so I didn't interrupt. I meant to come back to it later, but that just didn't happen. Thirsty Viking, were you the younger fellow working the bellows and tending the fire?

This being my first time to Scarbie, I was a tad disappointed overall. For such a large faire, why wasn't there more music? At the TRF, you can wander around all day and hear musical acts going on all over the place. But at Scarbie it was eerily devoid of music. I found that curious. I was also sort of disappointed that many of the people working the booths didn't even bother to attempt to use period language or accents.

It was a fun day overall, though... don't get me wrong. But I do think the organizers could do a better job to ramp up the atmosphere a little bit. They could give TRF a run for their money with a little more effort.

I will definitely go back next year, probably on their Highland weekend.
