California Vicinity RenFaire List for 2002

OK, here's the TENTATIVE list for this year. Very few dates are set this early, however, so expect changes and additions, and even some subtractions. But, as people are already bugging me to give them something to work with, here is my list of California Ren Faires. As usual, the ones I currently truly intend to attend myself have been bolded. No apologies for the SoCal priority listing or the order of the concurrent event listings... I live in SoCal, and this is *my* list, primarily for my own reference. :-P

Also, as always, I have included several out-of-state Faires on this supposedly California-based list, because I plan to attempt to attend each of these at least once, and I have no idea when yet, so it helps me to have them on the list. As I said, this is a list I first made for my personal reference, and then I got generous and decided to share with y'all. :-)

In any case, do me a flavor, and if you note that some dates have changed, please drop me a line. Sometimes people forget to let me know, and if it's not one I'm directly involved with, sometimes I'm not made aware of the new info before the faire itself. I hate when that happens.

On with the list, McDuff!
