pyrate feast
that year went by so fast. the feast last night was something that i wasn't sure i was looking forward to - i quite honestly hadn't had a lot of time to even think about it. but not only am i glad i went, i found that i rediscovered a bit of what had been lost to me. i haven't been going to faire a lot the last years - it's just far away now that we're in the 'burg, and i've got so much going on. but the people that i have met over my years down here never cease to amaze me. it's a group of people that never neglect a hug, or a smile, and always remember you - regardless of how long you may have been gone. it's people who you know by reputation sometimes, that are just as happy to give you a smile or a hug as they are the shirt off their back. it's a generous, lively, and loving group of people, and i can't believe how much i've missed these people once i got there.
people said things to me last night, based on my lj, that were so sweet, and touching. one knows who he is, as i told him - i'm trying to be better about telling people when they really make a difference to me, and i dunno why, but those short words still bring a smile to my face and a tear to my eye. makes things sound real when they're said like that.
others i hadn't seen either since the last feast, or for years and years, and whether it was just a few words and a hug exchanged, or conversations laughing and teasing - both had the same warm feeling on my heart. there were too many faces that i'd hoped to see but weren't there, but that's alright. i'll see them soon, faire season is only a few months away.
the event itself, of course, was a raging success. both the organizers and the attendees are such class acts, i wouldn't expect anything less. chris even came and worked this year, and was nothing short of a superstar in the kitchen. 10k+ for breast cancer research. on days like today when too many people are suffering, it's nice to know that every face in that crowd last night DID something to move us closer to a cure.
