An eventful weekend.
For starters, guess who I met?
Yes, Neil Gaiman was at a pulpit.
He's kind of awesome that way.
There, I hung out with Jay, Elise /
disc_sophist, and Pamela / eiluned.
And who else should I see, but Rachel /
wanderlamb.
Clearly, I did not know my picture was being taken.
The man close-up.
Pamela got her books signed.
As did I. I'm fairly certain that I babbled something stupid.
The next day was Faire.
And then there were Rogues!
Pamela & Nelson, The Rogues' resident manwhore.
The Rogues attract many colorful bellydancers.
And that's all I've got to say about that.
And there were babes.
Baebes, specifically, of the Mediaeval variety.
Katherine Blake, founder of the Baebes.
Maple Bee.
Audrey Evans.
Marie Findley.
Cylindra Sapphire.
Claire Rabbitt.
Emily Ovenden.
I totally, totally have a girlcrush on this woman.
I was excited that I heard some favorites--
'How Death Comes'
'Ah Si Mon Moine'
'Erthe Upon Erthe'
'Salva Nos'
'Adam Lay Ibounden'
'Gaudete'
'Undrentide'
'Kinderly'
'Love Me Broughte'
'Ecce Mundi Gaudiam'
'I Am Eve'
'Trovommi Amor'
'All For the Love of One'
'Kilmeny'
'Return of the Birds'
I attended the first and second shows on Saturday, 9/30.
If I missed 'The Snake' or 'Tam Lin,' I will never cease to kick myself.
Claire was super cute, and very expressive.
Skyler liked Marie best.
Heh. :)
Katherine gets kind of intense when she sings.
Ahhh. Girlcrush.
Look at that belly!
She looks like Gaia.
And there was much dancing.
And did I mention girlcrushing?
Because there was girlcrushing.
Group shot.
At the signing table.
The girl in this pic was sitting next to me.
She was so cutely excited. She knew all the words.
She and her mom drove four hours to catch the show.
And me, with a few Baebes.
Eeeeeee!
And of course, lovely Fairefolk, my friends.
eiluned / Pamela, me, and deliriouscat / Ariel.
sbrungardt / Skyler, Pamela, and Ariel.
Pamela in the chapel doorway.
And me.
Jay and his lovely wife,
disc_sophist / Elise.
A bunch of boring losers.
tamnonlinear / Abby.
Johnny Fox, sword-swallower.
Now you see it...
Now you don't!
Skyler thinks he looks mildly rat-like in this picture.
Does Skyler look like a rat in this photo?
What? No!
4(22.2%)
Actually, well... kinda.
8(44.4%)
Isn't that normal for him?
6(33.3%)
madmoisellestar / Aster, evergleam83 / Heather, and 17flyingfish / Anna.Aster brought me delicious pumpkin cheesecake, because she is my favorite Aster.
We are so very cute.
yancentric / Yancy, rocking the Mediaeval Shades.It's worth mentioning that all of my female friends are completely smitten with The Yancy.
Again, just a bunch of boring people.
Yawn.
This is Rebecca, my bellydance teacher.
She is made of awesome.
No, really.
Abby and James, her willing boytoy for the day.
That's
whale_girl / Amy, all the way to the right.
Jay took this-- I'm not exactly sure when, though.
The end!
And that's all I got for right now. I will have more comments, along with gratuitious squees about the packages that I received from
lm and thesecondcircle tomorrow morning, but right now, my fingers are about to fall off. Thank you, and goodnight!
