Renfaire birthday

[kitanzi]

I guess it's a tradition now - it's been twice! Last year I was kidnapped off to the GA Renfaire for my birthday by the conspiracy of autographedcat, joyeuse13 and abovenyquist for one of the best birthdays I've ever had. This year I instigated it, but dragged the same folks along plus thatcrazycajun, hilfy, wheezingirl and her husband Matt (who I don't think has an LJ - correct me if I'm wrong!) Hilfy, ACat and I got there about ten, and others showed up at somewhat staggered times in a typical herding cats fashion, but cellphones turned out to be a (somewhat mixed) blessing and we all had a great time with lots of fun, a bit too much sun, a Lost Boys concert, a couple of visits to see the Parrots of the Carribean, more street performer interaction than usual (maybe because we got there so early), and lots of browsing/shopping. This year I did get the gorgeous silk harem pants I'd drooled over last year - yay for having money! On the whole, however, I think we got off relatively cheaply, and I had a lovely time. ACat, Hilfy and I left after about four and a half hours due to heat, tiredness, and general soreness, and left the others still hopefully having just as much fun. (Yes, ACat will of course have photos up soon. I'm disappointed that the belly dancers weren't there this weekend, however.)

We dropped Hilfy off, came home, vegged out in the airconditioning with some amaaaaazing Ben and Jerry's ice cream - Willy Nelson's Country Peach Cobbler. Seriously, brand new favorite flavor, sooooo good. Anyhow, we had a quiet afternoon and evening, and finally finally finally watched the premiere of Blood Ties from where it was lurking on the tivo - I recommend that, too. And now, I think, to bed. I hope everyone had just as good a day, whatever made that for them.

It was a fun day--after you left us we saw the Washing Well Wenches, shopped a bit (I got one of the neat hair thingies!) and then saw the fire juggling and some Tortuga Twins. I'm sorry we didn't get to spend more time with you guys, though. Hopefully we can make another trip before the faire ends.

Yeh, we had more fun, and I think I sunburned a bit. Glad you had a nice birthday and that I could help make it so. Sorry you lost your metal flower; maybe we can get you another one next time.

Huh. After midnight already? Ah well, a day late, but not a wish short. Um,

Happy Unbirthday? :)

Happy Birthday!
We had a great time at the ren faire. We got there a little before 11am and left a little before 5pm. We were exhausted, but it was worth it. Matt even got a new ren-faire outfit.

Thanks for inviting us - we thoroughly enjoyed outselves.

Hah! Did you get to see Barely Balanced, the acrobatics troupe/stilt walkers with the gorgeous Cameron over whom I've drooled manys the time?

Oh, and...happy birthday! ;-)

Are the Lost Boys back together? Or in a different lineup? I had heard they broke up.

Glad you had a great day, and birthday wishes to you from all of us!
