Morgan was a very young girl when we were at the Faire together, and the intervening years have made her a kind hearted and generous lady! She is an accomplished musician among her many talents, which I admire greatly. But what I most admire is her care and concern for her friends, old and new! Thank you, Morgan, for counting me among those fortunate enough to be your friends!

I have never met Morgan, but if fate is kind, perhaps one day I shall. I've heard wonderful things about her from old friends ... and I feel connected as our paths no doubt crossed at old faire.
May her voice and beauty continue forever.

Morgan is an inspiring member of the original ensemble that created the Rennaisance Pleasure Faires. She created amazing designs for the RPF Costumes Crew when it still created many of the costumes for the show, as well as helping to oversee the overall look of the costumes at a time when the show was a smash hit. Cali style would not be the same without her.
As a musician she was an ice-breaker, a spark stalker, and a great promoter of traditional music. We have spent so may grateful hours rapt in sweet tunes I can only hope for more.
Plus we were faire brats together and she throws great parties.

(in Memories of Blackpoint)
I stopped doing the Show in '93,and I feel like Maggie does.Sometimes it's like it's just over the hill, or it's been a million years.
I guess it depends on how old I feel at any given moment.

Re: Demonic or Just Wierd???
(in Bay Area Paranormal Studies)
My first thoughts on this are unfortunately of a lynching. Mob sounds, burnt " pork" smell, really bad vibes lingering on for many many years, and no locals willing to talk about it.
These are my thoughts as an armchair historian - I know very li...

I would like to ask for a bit of feedback here. I need to expand my product line to include my first love - Renaissance & related clothing items - and what I would like to know is this ;
Whaddayawant ?
Bodices ? Shirts ? Partlets w/ ruffs ? Guy Stuff ? Tie dyed victorian corsets ?
Too many choices, and I need to start small.
Your opinions are beyond valuable to me. Thank you.
