    St.Pat's Eve at the Renfaire

    OK, bit of a story;
    My plans for last weekend were to be in the Houston parade on Saturday and then hit a couple of the big parties on Sunday, take a lot of photos etc...
    But a good friend of mine in both the renfaire and mundane world passed away unexpectedly on Thursday evening, and I made the call to skip the parade this year and head up to Sherwood faire Saturday morning to see some of our 'faire-family'. It was a nice day, but honestly the emotion and passion that I love about my rennie friends can also be a little overwhelming when there's a death in the family, I got a little emotionally fatigued after a while. I escaped some of it by spending a lot of the day showing the faire to my friend Niki from New Orleans who was visiting Sherwood for the first time. I also helped out with a photo shoot one of the faire photogs wanted to do with her.

    Anyway, here's some photos, sorry if they are not up to my 'usual standard';


    Niki and I, as you see I did bring out the green..




    First show of the day; VaNaMaZi.



    A little fairy frolic...





    My friend Lindsi.

    And finally a couple of shots I scammed during Niki's modeling shoot;


    and oh yeah, she makes all her outfits too...

    As far as my actual St.Patrick's day Sunday; I woke up tired, my Dad and I went to our local at lunchtime for food and a few beers, and left before it got interesting enough for photos.

    Niki has great garb. Sorry to hear of your friends passing.
    Sometimes the people we only see "seasonal" once a year at events; are closer friends than the ones we see more often.

    I'm sorry about the passing of your friend...been there.

    Niki's clothes are fantastic, though.

    Condolences on your friend.

    Great pix as always. I saw this and immediately thought of you.



    For those out of the loop of popular music, it's a parody of this video [which I won't post directly here, as there is some NSFW language]
