Busy- but next weekend the no Scarby blues will hit me.

Well, well, well, what a responce.  I was affraid there wouldn't be much intrest in this thread.  As tired as I was from 8 weeks of Faire I still missed being there.  After the movie Sunday the wife and I kinda looked at each other and said "now what?".  We couldn't go home yet, it wasn't 7'clock.

Saturday we went shopping and to Winstar and I hit a big jackpot on Star Wars

Friday - Visited with family for the evening
Saturday - Church, nap, and going away party for some friends
Sunday - Broke down and went to the E.R. to have my ankle checked out where they told me it's broken , went to the store, and back home to relax and elevate my leg

Saturday- Went to A-Kon with my daughters. This makes our 3rd season. (Saw Meg and a few Rennies)Love the Steam Punk look. Worked on selecting the photos I wanted to post from closing weekend at Scarby and posted to the web.

Sunday- A-Kon for half the day.

This coming weekend, The Texas Scottish Festival in Arlington.

Saturday-Got up early and drove Cap'n Frankie and myself to A-Kon, dressed in our pirate garb, of course, saw Al-Nimer and Nicolas-Antoine and a few other Rennies and friend from school, and have become addicted to steam punk.
Sunday- slept in mostly due to getting home so late from A-Kon (4:30 AM), then got up, spent time with my parents, and went to work. Got off a little under an hour ago.

(bolding mine)

I've always thought if I wanted to dress-up for an anime convention I'd go steampunk.  I think I may be bordering on too old for it but I love the look.

To old for the Steam Punk look or to dress up for A-Kon? I saw a guy Saturday I'm guessing was in his fourties decked out in his steam garb. Looked pretty cool.

Well, I was saying I might be too old for Steampunk but several people have convinced me otherwise.  Why let 'the young people' have all the fun??

This year I'll be studying for classes and catching up on college course work I didnt get done over the fair weekends. Ya, it's going to be fun. Fun like medieval torture when you are receiving not giving.

I spent my Saturday dressing guys in pirate garb.  I'm costuming a pirate melodrama at the pocket sandwich theater.   I just left scarby but i get to spend the next 6 weeks up to my elbows making pirate garb.

Friday: Went to the drum circle...
Sat.: Birthday party, then emergency room with grandma
Sunday: Hospital all day, then home

*Grandma has been back to the hospital 3 times since Sat. night, so I've been there quite a bit lately... 

[VIII]

Saturday: Got up earlier than usual, packed and drove to a friends house.  They drove the wife and me to Muskogee.  We dressed as pirates and went to another festival.  We drove home that night.

Sunday: Got up late and took my wife out to Blue Mesa for Brunch.  We drank our weight in Mimosa's.

For other info: STAR TREK debuted on Thursday night; we went to see it the next Tuesday night; the next Sunday (at faire) someone hands me a pirated version of the same movie.

Does everyone know VIII is a Trek-head?!?

I've watched it three times in two weeks, so far...
