Michigan week 5 (Mudfest) Now with story :(

[Sicari]

Yes, the story. Rain. All weekend. Not just a sprinkle. Not a soaker.
A what in the hell am I doing out in this monsoon type rain. Got up
there Sat late afternoon and immeadiately fell. Actually to be honest
it was a face plant. Good thing I had my white caftan and white cloak
on to protect me from the mud.

I camped in my truck in the rain Sat night.

Sunday the sky looked like this

I went anyway. Some of the best times I've had at fest have been in
the rain. Rain, yes rain. Monsoon no. Monsoon = bad,very bad.

I got stuck trying to leave but thankfully the festival had a man on
a frontend loader with a chain...oh wait they told him to disappear.
Seems he was tearing up the field. Luckily I only had to pay the
towtruck driver $150 to get me out.

I wish we'd run into one another. I have a slightly damp hidy hole that I sing in and I had a towel. I actually had a good time, but I can have a good time in pretty miserable conditions. I'm fun about anywhere. Withing ladylike limits, of course.

Damn... You had a "fun" weekend! We only live about 20 miles south of the faire grounds. The sky looked like that all weekend so I hid indoors as much as possible.  Sorry about the towing fee. Debra from the festival office told me 300 vehicles were towed out of the lot last weekend. If we had been there I would have pulled you out for free...

Oh, don't get me wrong. Some of the best times I've had have been in the rain. I'm just a little bent about the tow charge. I didn't sink my truck, I just couldn't get up the hill. No traction
