Subject: RE: BS: Long weekend -
just a quick synopsis, as I REALLY need some sack time. I have an interview with a consultant in the am....

I was on the road going down from 4:30 thursday until 1:30 pm friday...we ran out of gas at 2 am, and had to wait 4 hours for the gas station to open. Lovely start....Luckily the director excused me from the 1:30 cast call - said she would prefer I be awake for the faire. *grin* did hit the 6:00 pm cast call to get my pass and say hi to a few friends before going back to the hotel for pool time and SLEEP!!!. At the faire site at 8:30 saturday morning...cast call, last minute instructions and then down to the gate to mmet and greet at 9:30. 9:45 gate show, Evil sheriff overthrows his identical twin brother the good sheriff and threatens to ruin festival, Marion Hood and her Merry Wenches vow to foil him. Gates open. Meet and greet until 11:00 when the Queen arrives and I and rest of peasants demonstrate how to grovel. Another hour of meet and greet while listening to hammered dulcimer from Kat Fairbanks of the Pyrates Royale. wandered through the shire being dumb and caught comedia show. back to gate and sat on the wall and sang. wandered off again and ran into Mbo! Immedietly went in search of a Wench Guild member, pointed Mbo out to her and then lost track of him. Located more wenches, explained my plan to them, eventually finding Mbo and getting him well Wenched.We did meet up later and I did sing "The Mother's Kiss" for him. I probably spent 4 hours singing for people entering the shire....on saturday. it hit 79 degrees, there wasn't great amounts of breeze, and MY FEET HURT!!!! Sunday was even better. more later...
