RenFest... or lack there of.

Aug 23, 2010 11:04

This past weekend was opening weekend of the Minnesota Renaissance Festival, and for the first time in over a decade I was NOT there as a participant. There was so much thought that went into my decision not to participate this year, and to be honest I'm still struggling with it ( Read more... )

Your life, both professional and personal should always come first. I would hope and suspect that the folks in the Guard understand that you will come to visit once in a while but could not commit to the time that actually doing the festival takes.

Take care of yourself man and if next year looks better and you come back to fest, we (The Dueling Grounds) would like to see you swinging steel with us.

Thanks Madcap. :-)

It's entirely possible the whole thing with the Guard is my own sense of paranoia running away with itself, or that I'm somehow projecting my own personal disappointments. My biggest worry is not trashing my relationships with the guys in the group, and I feel like I'm on this ice with some of them right now.... again... it could just be me.

It was good seeing you guys do your thing again. I'm hoping I'll be out again this season, hopefully I'll be able to catch more of the fights.

If you need more people for paintball ever, I know Ethan and I LOVE paintball.

Take care of yourself. :)

You'll be missed, but then again...there's always get togethers outside of fest.

Life always comes first.

At the moment, I'm battling just how I can be out there full time this season, if I can't get a handicap pass....it's going to be VERY difficult, just got word from my PT that I'm not supposed to walk more then 1000 ft at a time...guess I'll be heading to the offices soon to battle this

While I already have a recently developed unhealthy love of wearing hoodies in the colder months (which you were already aware of), I don't think you need to worry about be dying my hair black as I have little left to do anything with.
