I wouldn't try filling your fez with beer if I were you. They tend to go soggy.  Wink Grin

fez as glass needs the two, step one, staple upper fez to lower, top to tail, bringing tassles to the fore, step two, get tall friends(nick>>) to gather round spooling tiara drips into upper fez, three, i say three...., could have been four, have assembled small folkies, in chairs to vibrate slowly in the viscinity, allowing minor spillage to trickle over edge, down tassles and into gobulet...

ps.
should have gone to fez-savers.!! Fez Afro

This may be going off-topic slightly but why don't you make a fez?  That's what Ma and Mix did for Bentley Ben: Mix supplied the instructions, I supplied Bentley Ben's measurements and the materials needed - and Ma assembled it (with some help from Bentley Ben).  And I have to say that his fez suits him (see my photo gallery under Wintour 2006 for picture) and he doesn't like taking it off. (I made him take it off for the Oxford Folk Festival to keep it nice) but he's insisted on wearing it again now.

Well....................so was I, but then I saw the picture. Now I'm confused. The fez I can do - although as an Irishman it may not fit over my Guinness hat - but the wicker balaclava might be a problem if trying to drink..................?? How do I get it on ?

Speaking of things Fez, has anyone seen 'The Fez Heads'??.  They are a 'comedy' dance troupe of guys who wear the gear and do 'performances' .  I've seen them a few times at Wimborne Folk Fest (which never seems to get a mention here!)...nice chaps and very entertaining...... Fez Fez Fez

During the first year of fez wearing I was with a group of Talkawhilers when a lady approached us and asked us when we were dancing.  It transpired that she'd see the 'Fez Heads' at another festival and thought that we were they - She was terribly disappointed when she found out that we weren't!

Back on topic - My sister was a Cropredy virgin last year and she raved about the event so much that her husband has now decided to join us this year as well as some family friends.  How we are going to cope with three Cropredy virgin I really don't know - Probably just get them drunk like the rest of us will be and see what happens.  Grin

We may have a slight problem though as my brother-in-law is expecting hurdy-gurdy solos.
