Had my audition for renfest last night. I drew the Pirate Captain and the King of France.

I've read a little on LJ and Xanga about some of the experiences people had this past weekend. Overall, I have to say that I enjoyed it a whole lot more this year than last. Last year, the parking situation and the lunch fiasco ruined the whole day for me ( Read more... )
