I'm going to try to make it out again this Saturday night/Sunday, last weekend was almost too much fun (assuming that there's any such thing). Wish I didn't have so much packing to do, I'd be out for the whole weekend!

We had another great weekend at Central Texas Ren Faire. Got there Saturday morning right as the rain was clearing up, set up camp, garbed up, and went into the faire. It was just like being back home again. Of course, we headed straight for Amtgard for the jugging schedule. lol. Then to Renshirts for some good garb stuff. Then to Dark Cloud for raffle tickets. During their auction, Drake got some great armor at a really good price. Spent the day shopping, watching the entertainment, and hanging out with everyone. Saturday night was cold, but Tom had bought me an outside propane heater and the 20 gallon propane tank for it. We put curtains around three sides of the ez-up and it was toasty warm inside. Plus we had the fire from the holy grill outside the ez up. I got a wee bit tipsy because Sonata forced me to drink stuff on an empty stomach. lol. It was brutally cold in the little tent Saturday night. Next time I'll sleep in the ez up with the propane heater. We had a great time around the campfire of course, and we had Teiwaz and Rigor to entertain us (Amy, Lionel, Sammi, Drake, Sonata, Rick, Corvin, and me).

Sunday morning Jerry Garcia gave us a hilarious reinactment of a dance he'd done in front of his tent that morning (long story there. lol). Back into faire. Hung out, shopped, watched the parade and Crow get knighted. Waiting, waiting, then finally it was time for Amtgard's jugging tournament! Fantastic game! Mr Smiley (the skull they fight over) had his jaw broken off during the games. Amy, Sammi and Medea were given the parts, which I think they are going to turn into pendants. After the games, Warlock and the fighters presented me with the skull and said lots of nice things and greatly honored me. I was speechless, and still am. They are great friends. During the games, these guys/gals beat the crap out of each other and were dead tired, but they kept playing cause the audience was yelling for more. There were danes there who had never been to faire before, but plan on coming out for the next one now. Then it was more shopping, visiting, etc. I'd won a coupon from the Golden Dragon for a free Chili Special the week before, so they found me and told me they were almost sold out but were saving one for me. It was delicious! After that, it was sadly time to leave and for me to break camp. The rest of our camp spent Sunday night there cause they couldn't force themselves to leave.

The next CTRF will be in June for one weekend, June 21-22, so everyone show up, have a great time, and support this faire and the great people who are running it. And don't forget, Amtgard is having a jugging tournament March 20 at their Spring Wars.

What a fun, fun couple of weekends we had, and I think this was the best!  I loved being there, especially as Excal when it was at that site was my first faire, so it was very much like going home for me.  So much fun with my fairemily, seeing friends and making new friends!  Drake could not be more excited about his armor and is already anticipating the rest of it which should be here in a couple of months.  I cannot say enough how much I love the Dark Cloud guys and gals - they are a great bunch and really took care of us the past two weeks with much of our garbing!  And the Amptgard guys and gals - what a wonderful, fun, and kind group.  I love them so much - they give there all to entertain us and keep on going because we want to see more :)  Such great new friends there!

I had such fun and I can't wait for the June faire.  I hope more of you can make it out in June and support this wonderful faire :)
