While I was a Feast of the Hunters' Moon last weekend, the wife unlocked the back door to our booth to discover that the Royal Guard had shrink-wrapped our booth. They took the left over pallet wrapping shrink wrap they used on Fitz in his cage earlier in the run and wrapped it around the four support posts in the shop and embedded stuff in it (like our empty beer bottles from the night before)... Photos as soon as I get them from the shop help.

We play pranks on each other back and forth. Last year the "TP-ed" our booth with crepe paper:

One year we stapled beef jerky treats to the posts of their rope fence and put up signs advertising treats to feed the animals in the Royal Guard Petting Zoo

Hilarious!  I can't wait to see the pictures!
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that take our breath away.

After that we stapled rubber gloves on the posts and called it the "Heavy Petting" Zoo

ROFL    Too funny.

*mental note*  Never challenge Groomporter.   ;D

How was your weekend in the 18th century?

Nothing clever to say here.  Not enough caffine yet.

The weather was great, but because we had to divide between two shows we were a little low on stock, and attendance seemed a little down so sales were not as good, but still worth being there. We gave out all of our mail order fliers and a bunch of business cards, and I've already gotten a couple online orders from Indiana for items we were out of.

 I say it all the time. It's always the quite ones you got to look out for.

I heard Beth's cackle and later saw the photos- pretty damn funny, but the guard knows you have a whole year to plan revenge, so they have a right to be afraid, very very afraid.
