Peach pie
This weekend was opening weekend of the Northern California Renaissance Pleasure Faire, in which I am dancing as part of the group Siamsa le Cheile. Thus, I went down to Casa de Fruta and camped for the weekend. We had good weather, although it was hot in the sun. Then the sun heated the stage so much we could feel it through our shoes. But, back to the beginning. Siamsa is a scottish-irish dance troupe and we do three shows a day at the Port o' Call stage (in the food area): 11:30, 1:30, and 3:30. So I did six shows this weekend. Saturday I didn't drink enough water (only 2.5 litres because they ran out) so I felt really awful in the evening and sortof hungover the next morning until I got more water into me. Sunday I drank at least four litres and felt much better. :) My feet and legs are *really* sore today, but I think it was fun. Saturday was also a bit of a downer because I was in one dance I didn't know particularly well so I felt like I was failing every performance, even though all the other dances went smoothly. However, it was my very first performance with Siamsa, so I guess it wasn't too bad. :) Anyhow, come see me and the rest of the group! I am dancing all weekends of faire except the weekend of 25 sept and closing weekend. If you want to meet up with me at faire, it'll have to be after the 1:30 or 3:30 shows as I have no time after the first show. We always do show notes after each performance and the first ones of the day are where we iron out all the wrinkles. :P
