Just call me "Red"...
I survived last weekend but am quite tired today. I'm not sure how folks who work Ren Faires do it. Two days in the sun, in costume, in character was plenty for me (particularly since I was really there as a glorified baby sitter).
There was fun to be had though, I must admit. The weather was lovely (albeit warm in the garb), most of the kids were adorable and it was nice to get to hone my accent skills. I heard a lot of interesting live music and enjoyed good company. I learned some cat's cradle moves, which I feel sure will astound my friends and family. With the Teacup, Eiffel Tower AND the Witch's Broom, I'm bound to be a smash at at any party...watch out! ;>) I was also adopted by the gypsies, which is something I highly recommend. They're quite an entertaining lot.
Since some of you asked, I've hidden some pics
Just call me "Red"...
Red had a crush on Sasha the Gypsy Prince...but who didn't?
Sasha and Seraphina had my back all weekend, feeding me nuts when there was no other real food to be had and helping me when the children attacked me in droves. Those gypsies are good folk.
