RenFest, and an iPod Update…
posted by FinleySorry I’ve been so quiet of late. Haven’t had much to say.
First off, a quick update- I’m still working towards the free iPod. Two people have completed their offer as have I, And we’ve all received credit for it. I still need three people to sign up through the referral link and complete an offer, and then the video will be created and posted for your amusement.
Second, I got to go to the Texas renaissance Festival this past weekend. Every year since 2001, I have attended the Renfest. This year, I went down to Plantersville with a busload of people from (Insert large company in Austin here) and had a blast. Partly, that came from the group I was with.
To say that these people were going to have a good time is putting it mildly. They had a blast- as did I, for that matter. However, unlike many of them I can remember the entirety of the day. See… there was a lot of alcohol flowing on the bus.
I mean, a LOT.
The screwdrivers started getting poured at about 7:15 AM. With that was the beer, as well. Now, normally this much alcohol can at least be partially balanced with some food. Had there been a large amount of good food, this may have evened things out.
Somehow, I don’t think a muffin each and Ding-Dongs for all really counted as a meal.
We got to the festival site, and 35 drunk costumed folks (and two or three sober peeps- myself included) stormed the festival grounds. For the next 9 hours much food was eaten, much drink was… well, drank and many shows were taken in.
That night, I got home relaxed and sunburnt. Once more, I had enjoyed the Renfest.
If you’ve never been, they’re open for one more weekend and then they close down for the year. You should consider it if you have the available weekend.
One other thing- go see The Incredibles. Fricking brilliant movie, that one.
Out.
