orangerfulWell, I kept myself busy this weekend, and feel like I need a vacation from my days off. Currently, nothing is on the schedule for tomorrow, so that's what I plan on doing - nothing. haha. Hopefully the library won't call with any emergency spots.
RenFest was great.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
blu_harvest hitched a ride with us, so I chatted his ear off in the car on the way there (it's only about 30 mins max from home). Got there around noonish and met up with my parents and zaubervz. My parents were kind enough to hook us up with tickets (they can get a discount with their military IDs) so that was super cool. They went off to do their own thing, so zaubervz hung out with us. He had his pirate garb on as well. We wandered down to the tavern in the center of town and bumped into toothlesshag and her crew. She was really dressed up purdy, with a big green hat (and we all know from Pirates of the Carribean that it's ALL about that hat). verdatum joined us shortly thereafter, also very pirately. He had just rode over on an elephant! Okay, not really, he had just been riding an elephant, but it was mostly in a circle. We grabbed some hard apple cider and listend to the Pirates Royale play for a bit. Then we set off in search of our turkey legs! Yummy, delicous turkey legs. There's no way they are good for you, they pretty much taste like salt, but I love them so. While were munching, destertale called us and alerted us to her arrival, so we went towards the entrance to meet up with her and Dave. Then we headed off to The Bloody Drama : A Comedy Show which is always a giggle. They did a hilarious version of 3 Little Pigs, with some audience participation. We met up with dstntp1lgr1m at the human chess match, had some yummy black rasberry ice cream while we watched that. Then we did a bit of shopping. zaubervz found a cool little skull carved out of opalite (hopefully he'll post pictures). I grabbed a extremely cute, hand sewn dragon that I've been eyeing up for a couple years now. Plus another earring/necklace set. from Sozra because I always do. So pretty. And dstntp1lgr1m picked up one of the freaky!cool vulture statues made from shells and claws...well, hopefully he'll post a photo too because you gotta see them to understand them. Our feet were filthy when we got home, but we had a great time! ANd as a bonus, we gave blu_harvest some time on WoW, so he'll probably be hooked on that soon...
Today was the DC Star Wars Collector's Club meeting in Woodbridge VA. I hitched a ride with a few other members. Bob drove, Indy navigated, and I sat in the back with Pat and Pat. Bob has a DVD player in his van, so we chatted a bit, then I convinced them to pop in the Eddie Izzard DVD, so we watched a good chunk of that on the hour ride down. The meeting was a lot of fun as always. Lots of socializing. I came home with lots of goodies. Galen gave a presentation on custom Legos and figures and now I'm temped to try, if only to have an excuse to buy sharpies. One of the other members brought photos of his recent trip to Vegas, with pics of the Star Wars slot machine and the huge selection of Star Wars/M&M products at the big M&M store over there. Another member was super lucky and actually got to visit Rancho Obi-Wan! He told us all about the experience and showed up some pics. SO very lucky. Mostly, I chatted with everyone. I wore my new Joss Whedon is my Master Now t-shirt, which was fun because I had an excuse to talk about Serenity and Buffy with people. hehe. I got my Final Battle Mal figure too! Then we drove back home, chatting the whole hour ride.
Here are some photos of this weekend!! They talked about this photosite on Attack of the Show, so I'm using it to see if it's any good. Let me know if it give you any trouble.
Yes, so it's Sunday night now and I'm getting ready for a round of WoWz with my peeps. Hopefully tomorrow will be a day of relaxing at home, cleaning clothes and arranging figures.
RenFest was great.
