Haha, you can't keep me away from NCRF. XD!

I'll definitely be hitting Dragon Slayers (assuming I can trade shifts with someone to get Saturday off, or if I change my schedule for the summer), and lots of St Lukes folks will be there. I'd love to hit Central Coast, but it's a long drive, it's really really hot, and it's real close to AX. Golden Gate's a possibility, but it's after school starts, so it depends on how much work I get saddled with. I may hit Kearny Park again, though I'd want to get company on the loooong drive. It was such nice weather.. XD

Yay!

Ummm speaking of St. Luke's... My dear, dear friend! I have questions to ask you and beg and..yes.

I wonder if I can just join St. Luke's this year, instead of Bibbiana's (I love them, but since I'm always with y'all, anyway...may as well, provided...)? But, I don't have the garb. But I'd be willing to make it, if shown how, etc. Is there a day of sewing? If not can I beg for one? I can come down, bring machine, food, anything needed (seriously). Or..something? *offers candy, beautiful people, and a shopping spree at eLutz*

Come join the yahoo group, and explain who you are in the comments field.. I'm sure they'll let you in. :) We're having a BFA/song meeting 4/23, though Val hasn't specified a time or place yet... ^^;;;; I'll talk at you more about that after I get back from Arizona.. *super stressed right now zomg >___>*

Tulare's a definite, and Northern (NCRF is North Carolina Ren Faire to me.) is one I intend to get up to for a weekend.

Northern California Ren Faire is a deffinate for me...I believe I'm driving different people different weekends again. Dragonslayers is a maybe...I'd need a ride. Golden Gate would be fun, but I'd actually need to acquire/make a costume that covered more of my body than last year if I'm gonna take public trans (would be fun if we could all go togeather...make taking public trans a bit less akward in a group).

a cloak is pretty easy to make. Just 1/2 or 3/4 of a circle of black fabric with ties and a hood...I think I may have a pattern (or if not I know there's one...Simplicity or Butterick or something)

I may actually make it to the one in west newton. It falls shortly after my birthday and is only about 2 1/2 hours drive if we go speed limit and stop twice to let the cat's potty.(not that we'd be bringing the cats but it's right near a campground we used to go to on a regular basis with them.)

Jabberwocky
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

'Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!'

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought--
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

'And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

-Lewis Carrol, 1871
