Hello everyone!
It's been quite I while, so I thought I'd post a note so you know I'm still alive.
Two weekends ago, I got to go see the Sac crew for Sarah and Ian's birthdays. Last weekend I had the pleasure of seeing many of them again, as Erin, Sarah, Justin, and Lily came and visited Travis and I for the
Renaissance Faire in Golden Gate Park. What's that you say? SF actually has a Ren Faire? Why yes, though for only a single weekend, and you have to go looking for it in the woods. Shakespeare would have been proud. ;P
In preparation for the Ren Faire, I got a pattern and material, and made a cape that I'm quite proud of (see pics below). Travis, being the romantic sweetheart that he is, bought me a flower to match my outfit. There were parrot shows, festive folk, Irish dancers, and even a death parade to greet us at the entrance. Also, Travis and I ran into many a person from Friday Night Waltz who were working at the Faire.
Speaking of dancing, the next Gaskell's Ball is on October 25th. I hope that those of you who are inclined will join us for the occasion. :)
PS - By now the
Large Hadron Collider has had initial particle beam injections successfully carried out. We are not dead. :P
