I need to write about faire.
I'm going to try and summarize my weekends at faire thus far.
First weekend: It was so great to see everyone! I had two guys crashing in my giganto tent as cuddle buddies the first night - it was nice welcome back to this environment. There's a reason I have a 6 person tent and a queen size air mattress! :) I played in blues on Saturday to help them out, and had a good time. Didn't really gig at all, I've got to remedy that somehow. I'm still not entirely comfortable out on the streets interacting, but only practice will make that better. Drank a ton of whiskey Saturday night, which was weird since I don't normally drink that stuff, but I guess I felt a necessity to drink so I didn't get fresh with my cuddle buddy back at my tent. ;) Sunday I spent lounging around in the guard area and at Belrose. It felt very weird to not be working all day long this year.
Second weekend: Another weekend of not much work at Belrose. I feel as though I'm doing something wrong by not working all the time. I've gotten into a bad habit of sleeping in past opening, and that cuts about 2 hours out of my faire day. But then again, when I'm not working, I get bored easily anyway and run out of things to do. I started a trend of wearing something different every day at faire. Should've taken pictures but I keep forgetting that I bought a new camera.
Third weekend: I got to drive my guards miata to faire, and I enjoyed that greatly, minus the fact that my foot got sore having to always be on the pedal for the whole 5 hours up and 5 hours back. I had the tent to myself this weekend, which was sorta sad but also relaxing in a way. I finally remembered to take some pictures, and concocted my favorite faire outfit on Sunday. I'll definitely wear it again, it was comfortable and even looked really good on me!
I'm looking forward to this upcoming weekend, with guard dinner and whatnot going on. I am going to goodwill tonight to look for a dress to wear. Yes, I'm a cheap bastard. ;) I will be in blues at least on Saturday, and hope to go out and gig with my guard. We need to pull out the gauntlets gigs again, it's classic. Another drive up in the miata, but at least this time I won't have to drive the whole time.
