I'm hoping this year, I get to go to two weekends at TRF.  My friends and I have tenatively said we would like to go Barbarian Weekend, and Halloween weekend.  And now I need to sit down and figure out some sort of costume or outfit, to wear.  I have some material (pleather-like) that I can fashion into some sort of Barbarian--esque getup, but I need to scan through some pics for more inspiration.  I do have an idea for Halloween weekend (as far as anything goes for a costume).  I've thought and would like to make some sort of fantasy character and do full-body makeup.  Now I need to sit down and look at even more pics in order to get more ideas as to what I would like to create.  Perhaps a faerie or some other fantasy elf character...  I have found a website that takes fantasy photography, and have gathered a few ideas from that, but I still would like to do sometihng original.  Its hard when your mind is racing a mile a mintute and you can't concentrate for all the ideas that come flooding, in.  I just hope I stumble upon a few GOOD ones!

I had a really good time at Scarobrough Faire in Waxahachie this weekend.  My two friends and I went on Saturday.  We watched Sholo preform for the first time and really enjoyed his warrior poetry and "poses."  We didn't know what to expect and was pleasantly surprised.  We were kinda scared by the Turtle man at the Turtle Races and had to get out of that show pretty quick to find some of whatever refreshment Turtle man had been drinking before the show.  The Mead was really good, and the Pear Cider, as well.  I quite enjoyed a pink tipped Pecker while at the Sholo show.  The fruit was fresh (pineapple on a stick was YUM!), and we enjoyed sasauge on a stick and delicious fish and chips. (2nd helping on the chips!)  I enjoyed cooling off at the "showers" and really enjoyed the fact that there was abundant shade trees (not pines like at TRF), and lots of seating. I even saw my hero, Ded Bob!  (I wished he were preforming, but it was enough that I got to see him!)  I did get blisters from walking (I didn't have proper feet-attire), but the experience was well worth it.  I had a lot of fun, and I think my friends did, too.  We will DEFINATELY try to be back, next year.
