Hello, everyone, my name is Catherine Riley. I hope I'm not posting in the wrong place for this, but it seemed the most appropriate. I'm a graduate student at Louisiana State University, and I'm currently doing research for a brief folklore study of garbing, costuming, and character creation. Unfortunately, I need interviews (approximately an hour each) with at least 2-3 people, and I do not want to disrupt you all at Renfest like that.
That said, I wanted to know if there were any attendees in the Houston or southern Louisiana area willing to participate in these longer, recorded interviews. I would like these to be as comfortable and as much at your convenience as possible. For Louisiana folks, my schedule is fairly flexible, but I will be in Houston on October 17-19, and probably again the first week of November.
If you're interested, please post a response or e-mail me (criley1@lsu.edu), and we'll work out the potential details.
Thank you!
