Picklefest!

[Astru]

I noticed there wasn't already a Picklefest topic, but a lot of people seem to have come to River's Rest for it and it's pretty fun (and if you want a pickle costume, it's definitely the place to be).

It runs until the end of the week, if you're interested in checking it out, but haven't yet.

I also made a map and figured out which shops are in which rooms so you don't have to. http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3134532/Picklefest.png

And here's more details on all the shops (but not a full inventory, because that's too much effort):

1. a sturdy green wooden booth: In a Pickle - pickle costumes and such
2. an open-sided peaked canvas tent: Brine There, Done That - pickles!
3. a bright yellow leather tent: Moomph Weaponarium - weapons and such
a modest multi-hued wagon: The Real Dill - makeup, temporary feature alt potions (I'm not sure how temporary, I haven't played around with them)
4. a gaudy bright red satin tent: Fit to be Pickled - clothes, jewellery
a canvas tent: Put it in your Pickle - containers
5. a colorful modwir wagon: Skin Deep - tattoos
starflies - apparently these die quickly...
6. a thin-striped violet silk tent: A Thin-Striped Violet Silk Tent - perfume jewellery
a dark sailcloth tent: Smuggled In, Legitimate Goods - magic items, sheath, armor concealer... misc.
7. a rickety wooden shack: The Ol' Switcheroo - shell game
8. a path of bent grass leading to a tent: Bobbing for Pickles - what it sounds like
9. a wooden gate: Herring Toss - also what it sounds like
10. a sturdy oak cart : Pickle Chips!

is Skin Deep the standard tattoo shop? I need people to try out my stock tattoo database (I really didn't want to work one day)

scroll to the right of the tabs on the bottom to see more categories.

[Astru]

Yes, Skin Deep appears to have the usual stock tattoos. I dunno if there will be a tattoo merchant this festival or not (there have been a few alteration opportunities already, but none for tattoos as far as I know).

[MotleyCrew]

Is everything pickle themed? I mean, the clothing, scents, all that stuff? Or is some of it 'normal'?

[Astru]

A lot of it's pretty normal. There are some pretty nice looking clothing pieces. I could c/p log bits, but I didn't get prices and it's close to 4 am here so... :P

Any summary on the enhancive items from Smuggled in, Legitimate Goods? I assume +1 bonus/+2 stat variety.

sturdy green wooden booth

[In A Pickle]
Pickle paraphernalia occupies almost the entirety of this cramped booth. Several different mannequins line the back wall of the booth; to the right are a gnome and halfling mannequins, while to the left are their medium-sized and giantman counterparts. A large green pickle-shaped sign stands between the displays.You notice a dark oak stand with some stuff on it.

open-sided peaked canvas tent

[Brine There, Done That]

Huge cauldrons of vinegar and spices bubble fitfully here and there beneath the canopy of this tent, the smell and heat enough to bring a tear to the eye and sweat to the brow. Closer to the front, display tables laden with jars, dishes, and a long segmented platter of food are carefully arranged and support a wide variety of treats upon which one might nibble. Alongside the offerings is a hastily written sign.

Obvious exits: out

Across the tent's ceiling hangs a large white banner, stretching from one wall to the other, and underneath it, multiple stands and tables full of weapons and armor.

modest multi-hued wagon

[The Real Dill]
A multi-hued handwoven rug spans the distance between the entrance and the back of the wagon, which is rather short considering the modest stature of this wagon. The light hue of the golden oak walls makes the space seem larger than it is, as does the tidy arrangement of tables on the perimeter. On one table is a green-tinged smooth glass dish and a leaf-carved grey wooden platter, above which hangs a green willow-framed mirror. Across the way, a stout pickle barrel rests beneath a set of green metal shelves secured to the wall by sculpted brackets.You notice a colorfully scripted sign.

gaudy bright red satin tent

thin-striped violet silk tent

[A Thin-Striped Violet Silk Tent]
Airy and light, the silk walls of the tent enclosing this area stir with the slightest breeze, and the peaked roof overhead is vented to allow in shafts of natural illumination to brighten the interior.

Are there enhancives sold at the fest?

[JackWhisper]

Who was the one who made the Fleurs Alter costume last year? It was *HILARIOUS*. Can someone find this alter?! Haha.

Tell me it had dewy ivory skin... because sweaty skin costumes are hot.

[JackWhisper]

Nah, it was a hilarious Fleurs-specific alter. She brought in like 10 alts, as per usual, and was altering everything into like pink tassle-bound handbags or something. Someone got really annoyed, bought a pickle costume, and turned it into a giant pink tassle-bound costume.

Then they danced in front of Fleurs. I had tears it was so funny. Note: It wasn't actually pink tassles. I just can't remember, honestly.

[bremerial]

I've posted some info relating to the pickle fest on my site and hope it will be useful for future reference. If there are any inaccuracies, please let me know.

http://www.assessrisk.com/personal/gs4_2_2_14_pickle14.htm#pickle

I have a few requests:


Request1 If there was a formal opening ceremony and anyone got a log of it, could you please email it to me

Request2 If anyone kept a log of the Recipe Contest, could you forward to me the tasting information for Sovine's recipe. I got booted three times during this presentation and so I am missing many of the comments about Sovine's offering. Don't think the post does this food enough justice!

Request3 LARCH - Would you mind if I used your info about the shops on my site and credit you? Saves me a lot of time when I go back to the Fest late this evening.

Don't mind in the slightest.

[bremerial]

Does anyone know what the eventual price of those shadowy spheres was? They were 3k, but the price was increased about a mistake in pricing was identified. Just need the eventual price for my logs
