AAAAAAH REN FAIRE


AWESOME

Okay so I have never actually been to a renaissance faire before today, so I had no idea what to expect. IT WAS SO COOL. Julia and Rachael decided not to come, so it was just me and my parents all day. We saw a silent comic (HIlarious), a dunking (well, several dunkings in the guise of a trial, lol. the evil sheriff's evil son: lickably cute), Midsummer Night's Dream with just the fairy and actors storylines (they did the lovers on a different stage later), falconry (omg, eagle owls are HUGE and COOL), and a silent act with two washerwomen at a well (my parents saw it before and it wasn't silent, they said this version was lame and it kind of was). Also, most of the roaming food vendors were a) very cute, b) very loudly making innuendos about their wares, or c) both.

In between all the acts, there was wandering. SO MANY SHOPS SO LITTLE TIME/MONEY. I could have maxed out a credit card there, good thing I don't have one. xD In the end, I left with one tiny lavender pouch to keep my purse smelling nice, a sweet blue hat with silver trim and feathers on one side, and a simple but gorgeous blue dress that fits me like a glove and makes my ass look FANTASTIC. :D I came about this close [--] to getting a tarot reading but I'm glad I didn't because I wouldn't have been able to get my hat and the hat is way better.

I probably shouldn't but I am taking a nap because, whoa, 8 hours mostly on my feet in the sun being all excited is tiring. xD

eeeeeee I totally want to do that again this time in my sweet renfaire garb so I can hit up that actor for ye olde facebook page url. You know, among other reasons. >.>

Which Faire was it? Upstate in Sterling, or downstate in Tuxedo?

That's hysterical considering I don't smoke. You should come down to the Faire in Tuxedo--I've been going there since I first moved to Ramapo, and still make the trip yearly even though I now live near Schenectady. You'll have to post pics of the garbed-up Dani. I will say this--buying RenFaire garb is horribly addicting. I've a full costume and I still buy things for it--for example, I'm hoping for a rapier this year.

I'll have to see if I can fit it into my ~traveling plans~ for the summer. About the only concrete plan I have is going back to Plattsburgh, and that's not even got a set date to it...

As soon as I can get some batteries for my camera, pics will be forthcoming! :D
