Weekend Update...
To sum it up...it has potential. The new faire site is lovely (I've been there before for an SCA event) and we have had record patron numbers!
So I was at my first weekend of CTRF this weekend...
Friday
I was late! I went out of Thursday night with M =) We had a really nice time...cozy pub for dinner and a few beers...then Coldstohne Creamery =) Yummy!
I got home around midnight...and I had packed everything the day before...so I was good. BUT I woke up Friday morning to RAIN *damn*
Got in the car...and hit traffic! People driving 35 mph in the rain! I was suppose to get there around 8am...I got there at 8:45! The day itself was ok...I did a bit of henna...but at 11am...it started to POUR! Ice Cold rain with high winds...I thought my tent was going to blow away. I stood in the rain for 20 min...and got soaked to the bone! When it subsided...I packed everything up and as I was done (around 12:30-1pm) the sun came out!
oh well...I went back to Clodagh's house...took a hot shower...did a little shopping...took a NAP (much needed) for a couple of hours, then went to Japanese for dinner =) Then I tried to work on some homework...but then Jenness, Eilis and Joe showed up...and we chit chatted, and I helped Jenness wrap up her documentation for her Coronation project. Then everyone went to bed...and I stayed up until almost 2am finishing my homework!
Saturday
I got to the site...things are pretty dry (compared to Friday) and I had a pretty good day doing henna! I believe we had a record number of people come through the gate (3600)...which was awesome!
I also found out that LEIGH ANN is selling her fabulous pottery at faire! She does awesome work! I bought two mugs from her =) And Jeramiah was there, Maya, Angus and Ankara! I was so great seeing them all =)
Saturday night...I went back to Clodagh's house...took a nap...and OVERSLEPT and forgot to pick up Jacquie from Target! BAD GINA!!! I felt horrible...when I woke up (at 11:35pm and I was suppose to pick her up at 11pm) it was her getting home! Her co-worker dropped her off! I Feel awful! Then everyone got home from Coronation and I heard all about it...I missed a lot of fun =P
Sunday
Went to work in the rain while everyone was still asleep =(
Sunday was miserable! It rained ALL DAY! I did get to visit with a lot of people and I was better off than some...I had an opportunity to visit more with Leigh Ann. I'm so proud of her!!! She gave me a few pieces of pottery...and I dropped on of them (The MOST GORGEOUS one of course! and I felt so bad!)...I went back to her and asked her if she could make me another one!
All in all Sunday was a bust! Thank goodness I did decently on Saturday.
It was a long day though...I drove back to my house (b/c I forgot to pack clothes for work today) and dropped off some stuff)...and then I drove back to my parent's house...and I was in bed after 11pm!
What a long weekend!
Congrats again to Lucan and Yana on their Coronation...I hope they liked the gifts...and I hope we (Michel's apprentices) did a good job with our presentation of the Unicorn tapestries. I saw what Eilis, Demi and Clodagh did...they were FABU!
