Donald, where's your trousers?

Another fun weekend this time around, extended by a day. Yay paid holidays. Saturday was innocent enough--April and I had our pictures done by a portrait studio. They were raising money for St. Jude's Children's Hospital, so we donated and got pics out of the deal. We get them back in a week and a half. We then spent the evening at April's parents--some of her extended family came up for a visit, and April wanted to see her grandma before going back down to Long Island. Had some delicious chili, hung around a bit before going home.
On Sunday, we headed down to Kingston to stay the night at a motel so we wouldn't have a 2-hour asscrack-of-dawn drive from Schenectady to the RenFaire. In Kingston, stopped at Barnes & Noble, April got to say hi to friends and acquaintences. The store is falling to pieces, from what I gathered. I needed condoms and hair gel, so we stopped at the Wal-Mart, where Laurie saw us as she was leaving, we had a 20 minute or so chat. I was hoping to see both Hopes, Steve, Frankie, Robin, Alan, but none were found. Instead I saw a Photo staff that was completely new. After, headed to New Paltz to see everyone, which is always fun. Had some food, hung out with Ben and gamed while everyone else partook of DnD. After, we ended up staying about an hour longer than we intended hanging out with Mary and her boy, James. Wyatt, Tryn, and Shanti made plans right on the spot to go to the RenFaire on the morrow, and that was that.
Monday--another excellent day at the Faire. It was just April and I this time around, and it was nice. We got to wander, and we caught an excellent band--3 Pints Shy, made up of the Mayor, the Sheriff, and a couple of others whose names escape me. Also saw the Crimson Pirates, headed by Dr. Crossbones McCoy. Dextre did his thing, and I burned money on a part of a costume. I'll get the rest in 3 weeks when we go back to the RenFaire for the final time, this time with the NP gang. So crowded, being Labor Day--I don't think I've ever seen such a more active and huge crowd at the final joust. EVER. Saw Wyatt and company there. I didn't have the camera this time around, although I sometimes wished I did, just for the great quantities of cleavage and large breasts. Got to try mead, quite delicious. After the final joust, rather than follow the crowd out, we went to the Pub Sing, where it was a gathering of most of the bands, and quite raunchy. Even the Queen sang along with a couple of songs.
Looking forward to going back.
So now I'm here, and for the first time in nearly a year, I've resumed writing, picking up where I left off in my Dino Crisis 1 fanfic. Hopefully this attack of the writing bug continues, especially in November where I plan on novelizing Resident Evil 4 for this year's NaNoWriMo. I'm rather excited.
Now, back to dino action.
