Stupid cars.  If only we could apparate!

Stupid cars.  If only we could apparate!

I have not read the  Harry Potter books, so I am not familiar with the word apparate!

Well if you lived close to Toki and I, we would give you a ride, but we are up north and not far from Estes (Loveland)

What am I saying... Were not going to Ravenshire. I blame my confusion on Demetrius and his Hamster's

Christine and I will be leaving Monument, CO at around 05:00am enroute Ravenshire. Hope to be there right at, or shortly after cannon. We are only there for the day, but at least we will have a day.

We will be in the Mesa View Motel just across Front St (within walking distance 0.4 miles). It's just a room with a shower, but out there a shower can be worth it's weight in gold.

Well, got back home to Colorado Springs.

Me, my man, and three friends went out on Saturday.  It's a cute little faire.  I personally enjoyed not working.  The fun-noodle joust was very entertaining.  AND I got to sit down rather than standing in the sun on the steps in front of the pavilion... have I mentioned I enjoyed not working?

In the morning, we did our usual Renn thing, and late in the afternoon, returned as characters from Priates of the Caribbean.  This was primarily the test of my husband's Davy Jones costume that I finished last week for DragonCon this weekend.   

As I was Sparrow, I personally have NO idea how our Captain Jack does it in 95 degree heat.  I was ready to die.

Anyway... my photos... although, admittedly, they'e pretty much entirely me and my friends, not anything else there.

I thought you might have been involved in that.  One of my friends who was working the faire texted me on Saturday saying "There's a guy here with an absolutely amazing Davey Jones costume."  I mentioned to her that you did the Bootstrap Bill thing.  She sent me a picture on my phone....pretty awesome!

I just wanted to thank everyone who made Jeff's first faire so memorable. He got properly wenched, by the Cherry Tarts, and got to meet a lot of very wonderful Ren friends. Thanks to everyone - he had a great time and we are already planning garb for him for next season.

This was my second year in a row for Ravenshire, and while there were some minor SNAFU's regarding beer and food this year, it was still a very fun Faire. I think it's pretty certain that I will plan the trip back out next year!

Even though it's small, there is still plenty of good fun to be had by all! Just make for a very long drive home the next day after a few too many meads  ... Awe, Who am I kidding? there is no such thing as too many meads. 

[Mischka]

Although I didn't dress my usual, I still had a very good time.  Very much enjoyed meeting and greeting everyone!!  It was really fun to have such a large contingent of Denver RFers, and meet some new locals as well!

Here's some pics my friend dug up:

Little Bit and I got back last night and we had a blast!

Little Bit got to see his friends from CORF and I finally got to listen to the Whirly Jigs! 
Sunday night a group of the gamer boys and I went to the Mcdonalds at 9ish.... the looks on the faces of those inside were enough to make me crack up! A lady, a baby and 3 pirates walking in.. then the demostration of period porn,,,, (see skirts above the ankles) just about killed the sour face behind the counter!

At last year's Ravenshire Faire, a film crew from the A&E Network filmed a lot of us for a pilot for a TV show called "Tattoo Road."

It's now called "Tattoo Highway" and will premiere on the A&E Network on Wed. May 27, check your cable system for times. I was filmed playing the harp.

This is a reality show about a tattoo artist who travels the country. I don't recall seeing him at Ravenshire but there it is.
