well, that's mostly what I mean by "Faire". The people. There are years where I'm glad I don't have to wander around in velvet and mud in the Texas summer heat, and that I'm glad I don't have an extra closet full of fabric, garb, accoutre-crap and other faire stuff to haul around the country with me anymore. but... sometimes I just... wish I could get back to the place where, even when reality has you by the shorthairs, you can go be with those people and escape for a day or so and remember what is "real" and then come back with a soul refreshed enough to deal with your own petty shite.

I believe that is the most succinct description of why I still go out there I've heard yet. I understand, very well. We skipped season passes this year, due to budget constraints, but I may send the other half out there this weekend to get some things out of his system. I'm elbows-deep in other stuff at the moment, but I will definitely try to make last weekend, if naught else.
I went as a chaperone on Student day with Sprig and 135 of his closest classmates! It rained so I slogged thru the mud and my hip is still yelling at me! But watching Zilch in the rain was AWESOME, and the call from Panther who was too busy working but mentioned shopping in the rain

Maypole did happen, and it was the worst FusterCluck that I've ever seen. It took us 20 minutes to untangle what wasn't even one full rotation - with 6 helpers.
Though the funny part was - "I'm not going to tell you why, but everybody come kick the maypole. Now!"
Maypole dances, on Beltane, in the rain... yeah - we're not responsible for their horny arses.
