Procrastination and the RenFest
Well it's been awhile since I've been to the Kansas City Renfest and I have to say it was awesome. There were hundreds of booths selling stuff and very cool performances. If my brother hadn't whined the whole time we were there it would have been a perfect day.
There were so many people in costume and I was thinking of purchasing one at Renfest but they were $75-$90 a piece. The comedy performances were great especially the Mental Pause women and the Washer Wenches. Some of the jokes were a little too much for the kids but I don't think they got them. The weapons they had for sale were really cool too. They also had games such as throwing knives, stars, and axes at a target. And they also had a few archery games set up.
The joust was also fun to watch. I went to both jousts that day. There was another one later in the day but I didn't make it to that one.
The artist booths were awesome too. Both Nene Thomas and Ruth Thompson were there. And I purchased prints from both. I didn't get to meet them but it was still cool that they were there. Well that's just about all I have to say about Renfest.

Meetings, partings, and other junk
I've decided that people are just strange. Especially, people who happen to be male. About four weeks ago I was walking back from Hastings (I had bought several manga and novels) and this guy decided to talk to me for about three o four blocks. Then he would not leave me alone until I gave him my phone number. So I ended up giving it to him and hoped he would leave me alone. But no he called me twice that day. A few days later he asked if I had a boyfriend and I basically told him I didn't want a boyfriend. Luckily he hasn't called me since. But why the hell would you ask someone you've just met to go out with you? Maybe I'm just old fashioned but I think that's odd and creepy.
