Pennsic, NYRF and other things
All summer to date, grinning_fox and Potted Fox and I have been gearing up for NYRF, the largest faire either of us have vended at. It's going well enough but it's certainly had it's problems. The booth is at the very back of the faire, as far as possible from the front gate, in the children's area. The booth does not do well in children's area. The ( Read more... ) -

A few weeks ago, someone sent me a decently funny joke. I passed it on to grinning_fox 's father and he wrote a reply that's had us howling with laughter ever since. Here's the joke, followed by his reply.

I wanna go, I wanna go, I wanna go. Fuck it. We scheduled it for Wednesday and I burned a vacation day to go. It made ( Read more... )
