Title: Second weekend wrapup
Post by: Jonas_MacPherson on June 21, 2009, 08:50:46 PM
Well, we've survived another weekend in larkspurshire, and I have to admit, I'm quite amazed by the overall reaction to my new garb. (I believe several photos were taken, including a few by our own Lady De Laney). Outside of that, I think sunday morning, the ren stomach flu struck, so if I looked out of it today, mea culpa.

As I previously stated....it was great fun meeting new people, connecting with old friends. (including certain members of royality in new roles). Also can't say there was exactly a highlight....it was pretty much all grand, even if I felt really crappy during the first two hours or so before stuff started regulating. Overall, great weekend once again, and I'm excited to see what weekend three brings.

(cause, something really cool is bound to happen, right? :) )

Anyways, post up your updates, photos, any exciting news.

To anyone who interacted with me today,
If I seemed less than pleased,
It was not so;

I am still terribly sick and spent most of the day with a fever.



I worked until 2, and then went to the First Aid trailer for some ibuprofen and some rest.  Oh, and some water.
Though, I think it was still a nice day once it FINALLY cooled down.

I think this last weekend was fun! Even if I wasn't there Saturday...

It was nice to see people I haven't seen in a couple of years...

Can't wait for next week!

I was glad to see the crowds picked up for fathers day but it was kinda dead, at least where I was. I went and saw joust and got some of the funniest looks for all my Huzzahs and such... It was sad to me.. And I was sad that so few people even stopped to play with any of the crystal stix. Next weekend should be better. *lets hope*

That would be most excellent!!  I'm actually working on collecting as many pictures as possible from the different faires they ride at for the new website we're about to start working on :D  If you want to send the originals along with the name you would like me to credit the photos to that would be excellent! My e-mail address is missypaige_05@hotmail.com
Thanks!!

12.1 Mega PIXXIES? WOW I am envious.

As for the Knights

Roderick... He's my knight. Tall Dark and Sinister. You've got to love him for burning down orpahnages. Of cousre what William won't tell you is that orphanage was filled with demoically possed plauge infested children and rats. What a good dead he did. Roderick did us all a favor in saving our lives by doing that. Had he not then siad orphanage would have spread the plauge.

Yes Lady DeLaney i upgraded my Da Vinci 60 (D60) to a Da Vinci 90 (D90). Its heavier but with the built in autofocus in the magic box i have a bigger choice on attachments i can get for it. I still use the Da Vinci 60 like when i do the photo safari at the zoo cause i can have a zoom lense on one with a smaller lense on the other than i don't have to juggle switching lenses.

I have an idea if you're up for it.  You could always burn them onto a disk and I'll find you on the 4th....or you can just give it to Bryan and he'll get it back down to me when he gets the chance.
Or you may spam my inbox! :D I don't mind! :D

Most ladies do go for Roderick :P  He's a cool kid.  May you one day have the honor of being greeted by Batman or the Hotdog :P
Absolutely adore Roderick....but Mitri and Marcos are my favorites

Sir Gareth, have you considered using the program Lightroom for your photos?  You can adjust them so they are are more manageable size, imprint them all with your contact data, etc.  Very useful program.

No i havn't Radu, call me sometime we will talk especially since some of the graphic designers i work with have wanted to use some of my shots and wants me to get them on the net to sell. I personally don't consider myself in your or delaneys class of photographer skill i get lucky and get a good pic once in a while.

SquireGaby i have the cd burned and should be seeing blushing tomorrow night and i can see if she will be willing to take this to faire. Of course if she reads this before than she can answer.
