Title: Third weekend wrap up
Post by: Demetrius on June 25, 2009, 10:42:11 AM
Well, the weather was great and the traffic wasn't bad but we got to the parking lot and no one was there.

What's that? Yesterday was Wednesday?

Oh, never mind.

I had a wonderful day.  Wasn't the weather beautiful?  Just a small storm in the afternoon.  I managed to pull away to see the German Brothers, which was quite entertaining.
Thank you everyone who came to visit today :]  Oh, and I saw Blushing in ye ole parking lot.
Only have three favors left (until I make more), so if you want to get one, come quick!

Beautiful day yesterday. Wore the ever popular Katherine Parr dress and was confused by many at being the queen... Well I am the real Queen, but we will let her have her day :) My forarms are killing me from all the weight of the fur on my forarms... I'm going to have Popeye arms by the end of faire if I wear it again. No it's not that hot of a dress, but it is heavy.

Saw many people and finally meet the every elusive Platt... actually he found us in a hidden spot and gave us each his duckie favors... so cute. Was stopped by the Marquiche, one of the kings gaurds, and a few others about my photography.Actually talked to the king for a bit and he and I are now on a first name bases... HUM Me thinks the king is a flirt. Also made friends with the fire breather, nice guy.

Watched the joust and cheered for both Roderick (2nd joust) and William (third Joust) I still say Roderick was in the right burning down the orphanage as it was filled with demoically possed, plauge infested children... and rats.

Hamsters seem to be multiplying as 5 were spotted at the faire, exluding the Genetically modified Giant Carniverous Albino one around Gentleman Privateers neck.

Bought new more royal looking goblets... ere Calices incrusted with gems. drank lots of fresh squeed lemonade, ate the always favorite Baron of beef aka 2 Nacked Barons (minus onions and peppers). And all in all just enjoyed the day.

OH I took close to 800 photos. Most were done in very rapid sucession of 3.5 every second. I did this to see how the jousting would turn out. Many of these may get tossed, but who knows. They will be posted this week on the pbase site.

But what about Mitri and Marcos? They need equal love too! :P
I'd love to steal your pictures of the joust for the website once you get them up on the net!

Lots of fun stuff happened.

Hung out with Delaney for a bit on saturday, which was pretty much all to report, outside of what seemed to be a mulitude of photo ops. I'm guessing word of my giant albano hamster has gotten around.

Sunday was far more interesting...spent the morning with Remi, trying my best to convey her hand signals and noises to the masses, and spent a great deal of the afternoon, roaming, picking up yet another knick knack for the outfit (a beautiful leather rose from a certain shop near joust) and catching up with old friends. Next week, more stuff! Can't wait.

Not to sound like a total witch or anything. if someone uses the photos to promote themselves in a profit making venture such as Noble Cause productions or even the knights., I must decline the use. As photography is something I do to try and make a little extra money. An example of such was Faire Magazine. I got payment (not much) but I was paid for my services just the same. And while I am taking photos right now, I am doing it at the possible use of them by CoRF but once again for payment. Asking for them for free would be like me asking the Knights to put on a personal joust for just myself or friends, or to teach me all the ropes in what they do. And since Photography is a form of art, it also follows copywrite laws like music, books, or any other form of media. And while I do let forum members use my photos with my permission to use on their myspace site or for their own personal use, the photos I have taken are still my property and I would greatly appreciate Brian or the heads of Noble Cause productions personal request to use my photos for their website.

I had a great weekend!  Out there singing again, with a new song (we're adding a new song each week now), and we have our CD's again!  We definitely kept busy, practically running from set to set and everything in between.  My favorite part of the weekend was Saturday morning, when a little four-year-old boy sang twinkle twinkle with us and then kissed each of us square on the lips.  He was adorable, all smiles and singing!

I loved the respite from the heat that the storms provided, although I definitely put down my parasol when I saw all that lightning on Sunday.  All in all, a great weekend.  Oh, and Huzzah for the Hamster mermaid verse, yay!!!!!

Had a good weekend again :D I had to work on Saturday morning, but got out there around 3pm, which was just the perfect amount of time after having worked all day. Had a good experience with a group of special needs guys out with either their parents or guardians * I couldn't tell which, but Im guessing the later since there were so many of them in the group * I have a real soft spot in my heart for special needs people so I stopped to say hello. Had my picture taken by the lady leading the group with a guy named Josh * I think  ??? * that had Downs Syndrome. He was possibly the most precious person ever. He gave me a kiss on the cheek after she snapped the photo and told me I was pretty. :P
And then, he saw me later and told me I was " A hot chick" it made me giggle.

Sunday was good,  but tiring. I kinda volunteered/was volunteered for 1st and 2nd Joust cheerleading for Paige because her voice was going out. Ugh. I do not like Joust cheerleading. Because 1. Never did it before 2. Had the biggest crowd (Williams) and was extreeeeeeemly nervous. Then I got scolded for "watching the joust instead of the crowd" during the first joust by the squire before the second. I was like....well? How am I supposed to know how to cue them if I dont know who is down at my end of the arena!?  but I tried not to watch so much the 2nd time. Anyway, long story shot, wont be volunteering for anything like that again.
Other than that it was an excellent day. As GentlemanPrivateer says we hung out most of the morning, and he translated for me. It was most fun. ;D

I got to interact with that same special needs group; several of them came up throughout the day and were very sweet.  :)

This weekend was busy...which is good for us.  Hot weather = dehydrated people = people buying drinks = yay!

I did all that too! Except I did it on Monday. I didn't watch TV or go to a book signing or rob a bank but I wanted to.
