Another Weekend/2nd weekend.

[DeadBishop]

Now please to under stand I had the first Haggis ever at the other thing...lot's of scots and such.

You guys have no idea how good this stuff is.  Really...seriously.

It really is good.

He's not lying.  It's good.  It really is....I tried it too.

What booth will be selling haggis?

[Lord Figaro]

That could be much fun. I'm feeling very out of practice! Maybe because I'm only hearing my voice in my head right now...

You hear them too? COOOOOOOOOL. I learned it's only a bad thing, when you argue with yourself and loose. So far so good.

Now on the Haggis talk, I have wanted to try that for a loooong time. Looks like I may get my chance finally.

heelllllloooo!!!!


so....who's up? Were up and almost ready.yay!

[Baron Doune]

Morning!

It's going to be a nice one.

[Capt. Bacardi]

GOOD MORNING VIETNAM!!!  ooppss....sorry wrong story line....

Where up....

[Sorcha]

Does vertical count?

[Marietta Graziella]

Weee!

What fun it was yesterday!  Yes, I remember it all even though the morning is a bit fuzzy.  That's what I get for mixing prescription medication and alcohol.  Yes, yes.  I know. I'm a bad person.

A big thank you to Mad Jack for being my escort yesterday.  You kept me (mostly  ) out of trouble and prevented at least 2 unpleasant accidents by allowing me to have your arm.  Sneezing + pinched nerve in the neck = nearly blacking out. 

And for all of you tongue waggers talking about Mad Jack and I walking around together yesterday-poo poo on you. 

'nuff said.

[Capt. Bacardi]

Just about to leave out the door for another day of drunkenness. 

Hey MG say Happy Birthday!! to the brats; who would have more fun at faire,  Just remember 3 fingers.

Yesterday was a fun day, though we did not get a chance to talk to many.

We were out there with some danes, a buddy of mine and his wife, so we spent the day guiding them around faire. It was their 1st time there. I think they liked it. They loved the food and thought Vil. Tennis was hilarious. My buddy loved watching the Highland games and his wife loved all the shops. They left there with a welcome sign from Redwood Wagon. She has wanted one ever since she saw the one we have. It was kinda fun watching their reactions to things.

It was a great day, weather wise too. I wish every day could be like yesterday!

The only downer was that I lost a button off my new boots I purchased from Son of Sandlar last week. They replaced it, but charged me 10 bucks for it. I guess those buttons screw into the boot and they told me I need to make sure they are on tight before every wearing. Funny how they never told me that when I bought them! I talked to Anna over at Lavigne Leather and she said the exact same thing happened to a friend of hers. She lost a button too and they never mentioned to her to keep them tight either. I kinda think they should have replaced the button for free considering how much they charge for the boots and since they never mentioned the keeping them tight thing in the 1st place! But,oh well, I'm not about to make a big deal over 10 bucks. I still really like the boots. They are very comfortable and I would recommend them to anyone, but I would also tell them buyer beware about the buttons and to make sure they keep them tight!

We were out on Saturday (the 23rd) and had a great time. I got a new sash to put on my belt. It's gold and contrasts well with my black and green garb. I wanted something that stood out. I shopped around for some new boots, as I need some badly, but discovered that it's not an investment I'm ready to make yet. I admired the works at Angel Sword and drooled over some whips at a leather shop (I'll probably get one next time). I'm also contemplating buying a yard.

My wife picked up some faerie pipes like Twig plays. Shes a flute player and wants to give these a try. She also got a necklace with some home made perfume from a small little cart shop near Grove Stage.

MG I am utterly pis#$% off I never saw you on opening weekend!  Again!  What did you do to your neck?  Have you tried a chiropractor?  I know they aren't for everbody.

[Marietta Graziella]

Me too!  I was so disappointed that we missed each other, yet again!  Damn and double damn!  I hope your trip was worthwhile and enjoyable.  I had marvelous fun opening day and was so glad to be in the shire again.

What did I do to my neck?  Old war wound.  Seriously.  I injured it badly during Desert Storm (stationed in Turkiye, diving for cover during a chemical weapons strike).  I've been going to a chiro and usually it's good but this last time I'm not sure what happened but something got pinched and it's all messed up.  Have to get back in with him but just haven't had the time.

Keep yer head down man!  I can sympathize as I have a crappy back and some minor neck problems too.  Everything I do I have to measure in terms of how much it will hurt my back then and later. 

[Goody]
