A fun Sunday
May. 17th, 2009 09:52 pmFirst, a bit of news stolen from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
killerweasel: Thor has been cast! (And it's a great pick, IMHO.)
We (the World's Best Niece, my sister-in-law and I) had a wonderful day at Scarborough Faire in Waxahachie. We left early and got in not long after they opened. The weather was marvelous--a nice cool sunny day after the rainy front passed. There was quite a bit of mud, but they had spread a lot of gravel and hay and such to keep it from getting too bad. Saw J and R at the LA Williams booth, where I had fun chatting and the fam bought pictures. I joked that they were pre-disposed to buy his work because I have several of his prints and Artist's Proofs hanging on my walls from my years of running SF art shows.
We mostly wandered around--we did watch one of the Last Chance Forever shows and then Wine & Alchemy. I never knew a big, stocky, tattooed guy belly dancing would be so hot, and yet it was. CDs were acquired. Talk was passed around to the effect that all our future men should take such classes, as we were certain that whoever he's with appreciates his hip shimmys. We sure were!
We followed a rumor that there were ping-pong ball crossbows to be found, but alas, the person who told us they were there was misinformed. We went into any booth that looked like it would carry them (and quite a few that didn't--we had to be thorough, after all!), but eventually I remarked that if someone was selling them, there was certainly a dearth of loose ping-pong balls lying about. I had some fried ice cream to console myself; my sister-in-law had a funnel cake. We called it good.
I did buy a purse, and a bopper sword with which to torment Ripley the cat. As usual, I wore the Black Death t-shirt, and got a lot of smiles. New haircut kept my head cool, and we stopped for kolaches in West (as usual) on the way home. And of course, we talked and talked and talked. Good times! Can't wait until the Texas Renaissance Festival in the fall.
