rennaaiissance
i'm so excited! earlier this morning (jillian worked from home today), jillian was looking at mitre's list of various special offers for this month. one of the things was discounted admission to the maryland renaissance fair. renaissance fair! (that is hard to spell, i keep typing two n's or two i's)
i got excited and asked her to click on it, and she really thought i was joking. but i wasn't! this sort of thing is definitely in my department. i was just looking at the website, and i got excited all over again! it's every weekend, saturday and sunday, and the 24th is the last day. giving me three weekends to make it there.
there's some really goofy stuff, like a singles weekend that already happened, but imagine that... i'm most likely going on saturday the 16th, which is shakespeare weekend. although i might not, depending on what ben's plans are. and the last weekend is the joust! apparently they joust all the time, but on that weekend jousters from all over the county (i know, what?) are coming to compete.
so cool. in a not cool way. but cool anyways.
pooja, when are you coming to visit?? we could go!!!! how awesome would that be?
also cool is some anime convention on the 29-31st. although tickets are $30... that kind of sucks. but i've never been to one and i am really curious. i meant to make it to the big apple anime fest last year but never got around to it.

don't get too discouraged if a catgirl at the convention tells you she has a boyfriend-- it's probably an open relationship.

oh man. the 7th grade me kicked up and whoop whooped when i read the words "renaissance fair." i've been feeling the need to get out of the city and drive somewhere alone for a while, but it has to fit around my midterm schedule...and marynia's birthday is the 16th. i'll call. but is this hokey stuff like medieval times? all i know of medieval times are the obvious scenes in that jim carey movie (the cable guy? liar liar?) and garden state, and i'm pretty sure it wouldn't appeal to me. i also would not want to mess with your game. those waifish elizabethan types in the white dresses with the plastic flowers in their hair and the fake british accents? hot.
