    SANGRIA!! mmm.. You have to go at least once =) Every year my friends and I (a fairly large group) go and enjoy the long day =) This year we're going during Roman week--which means TOGA. Its fun to dress up for some of the themed weekends.

    I work it so my favorite thing is lacing up in a corset and wearing my outfits (seriously, love corsets!). And I love seeing my friends and buying new things.  I can never go a season without buying something.  I think this year is going to be a new wooden mug.  :) If you've never been I recommend seeing Wine and Alchemy, Tartanic, The German Brothers (if they don't have a stage show, they're usually roaming the lanes), Arsene, Sound and Fury (PG-13), Cast in Bronze, Iris and Rose, and Christophe.  Whew, that's a lot.  They're all awesome!!

    They're turkey tenders are my favorite thing to eat.  And their cajun fries.  The turkey legs are just too messy for me and my dress.  :(  Oh well.

    Sound and Fury is my favorite show there!!!!! I love the food! I could eat my way around it. I have free tickets and if the FI gets to come home for Thanksgiving I am going to take him because he hasn't been in forever. He loves RenFest and would dress up if he had a costume.

    Just realized I can't spell...  *Their* turkey tenders are my favorite.Kcon - I teach World History and every time I mention the Gladiators I think about Sound and Fury (from Testicles and Ye Sack of Rome, if you've seen that one).  They're one of my favorite acts, too.  Tied with Arsene and Wine and Alchemy.

    Really?  I don't think so.  Which one?

    never been, but I hate the traffic. I go down 1774/249 to visit FI, and I have to alter my route during the falls. it takes longer.

    *waves* I'm here!  My favorite part is Fairy Weekend. I dress up as a fairy and I enter into the costume contest.  Last year I was in the final 5, hopefully I will win this year.I suck at posting pictures...so here is a link to one.http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll252/lauriebly/oaklie1.jpg

    I love your dress Emily!  Super gorgeous and I love the green color.  I want to make another one, but it is totally not in the budget right now.  All of my extra money is going to the wedding.  But I think an Ice Fairy would be neat.

    Here is the link to their myspace. In this photo the guy on the left to me looks like Labouf. Maybe it's just me. http://tinyurl.com/ybxvfdp

    Haha...the "third guy".  They're always rotating out a third guy...but he's been around a couple of seasons so maybe he'll stick!  I can kind of see it.  :)The steak on a stick IS good.  And the fish and chips at the Sea Devil pub is amazing (and big portions so you can split it between two and both be full!)...that was something new last year and I'm so glad they have it now!
