It's been awhile since I posted anything; I've been busy on other platforms. I get occasional ribbing for my loyalty to Livejournal, but I'm not a fan of WordPress and all my archives are here. I can see a time coming when I might port or mirror my blog on Tumblr, but I'm not quite there yet ( Read more... )

It started with a simple question among friends: do you consider yourself a SCAdian ( Read more... )

I can't believe the St. Louis Renaissance Faire is already over, it has been a wonderful season! Even with some questionable weather we dodged a couple bullets, and my deepest sympathies go out to everyone affected by the tornadoes. Thankfully, my experience this time was limited to the evacuation of a movie theatre left without power, after ( Read more... )

I have more of a routine than most expect. Here in Washington, most weekdays, I catch a 7:20 bus to the ferry (or an 8:05 if I'm sleepy), walk to Pike Place Market and put my marker in line, perform two hour-long shows between 11 and 3, and get home around 4 ( Read more... )

Wow, I've just over one week left in New England before heading south to Louisiana. The changing leaves are gorgeous, and the weather is still warm enough to comfortably take my evening walks. Indian Summer is in full bloom (though I don't know if we've technically had a frost yet), and I'm really enjoying being here ( Read more... )

One of the things I love about Boston audiences is that so many people speak Italian. Oddly, so far this year I've spoken more Spanish, German, Greek, and even Serbian. On the upside, I've kind of impressed myself in being able to recall as much of these as I have.

The weekend was fantastic, with picture perfect weather. People were having fun and ( Read more... )

Last weekend I performed a guest weekend at NYRF, to excellent effect. I had a fantastic time and felt warmly appreciated by audience and participants alike. Most surprisingly, a number of people recognized me from the Stockwood Renaissance Faire, nearby but almost ten years gone. Considering I was younger, heavier, and with flowing hair down my ( Read more... )
