I’ve been pretty lazy in my posting.  I have all these good ideas and stories and then just end up too zapped to getting around to telling them.  Oh well.  Let’s see if we can’t play a little catch up.  Last weekend was pretty good.   And this time, aside from having wet clothes to air out Sunday night, overall I think it was a pretty good weekend.

I realized this morning that I am starting to get old.  I had the windows open last night and it was raining and storming most of the night. When I woke up and hopped out of bed my right knee was killing me.  I'm not sure if I just slept wrong or it's the beginnings or arthritis, but I hope this isn't what I get to look forward to for the next ( Read more... )

This is going to be a relatively short one since I am beat and am being rather lazy tonight and going to crash out instead of cleaning my apartment for my parent's arrival on Wednesday.  Whoops.

Anyway, I think the best thing about doing BRF is all the people I get to meet.  This weekend Bess and Edmund came to visit all the way from England, and ( Read more... )

OMG was the weather beautiful.  It can be like that any time it wants! I think that was the single best weather weekend in the six years I've been doing festivals.  I don't really have as many stories from this weekend.  I suppose that is a good thing.  I met some more FoF people.  FoF rocks my socks off.  I am going to endeavor to help them even ( Read more... )

Holy cow it was a hot one.  Saturday could have been more fun, but I had a few nice surprises.  I spent the morning "shopping" with Pam, Niki, and Natalie with Eric tagging along and saying "no" to Lady Ogle a lot when it came to potential purchases.   Got some good gigging in and met Meriwether the Drill Sgt. of the Wenches Local, who I think will ( Read more... )

Crap! I leave in a little less than an hour to go down to Bristol for opening weekend.  I can't believe it's finally here.  It doesn't seem real yet.  Well, time to go.  I've got to finish packing and then couch those last 4.5 grommets tonight before I can sleep.  See some of you soon!

I got into a rather lengthy corset discussion yesterday.  It was interesting.  I know my corset isn't the St. George preferred corset and I really don't give a rats ass.  It's comfy and it works for me.  The last couple years Kate has been pushing these metal boned battle armor corsets that I loathe.  I picked up Niki's yesterday and the thing ( Read more... )

I'm sitting here on my duff doing nothing and it feels wonderful! Tomorrow and Wednesday the shop is closed for the holiday.  Today it was a complete ghost town, nearly 1/2 of the people were gone and the office was especially quiet.  It was nice.  Very nice.  I'm looking for lounging a bit tomorrow and taking care of all those things I've ( Read more... )

I've wanted to post, but with only a couple of hours a night to post after I get home from work and with a gown to finish I can't rationalize spending any more time than I do on the net.  I feel bad because there is so much I wanted to talk about.  Niki's wedding, Bristol progress, life.  Oh well.  Once hurricane Bess subsides and I can get my ( Read more... )

It was a good weekend overall.  Very tiring.  BAPA was BAPA.  Street was actually good now that we actually got to be our characters and talk.  We started working on bits.  Once I get to talk the character comes easily.  There is only so much I can do while walking... I had some really interesting electives this time around.  Let me back up a bit ( Read more... )
