Canterbury Faire
Feb. 7th, 2006 01:33 pmBack.
Gods... where to start?
Lessee... my first introduction to the King and Queen of Lochac was the Queen turning to her husband and shouting "Hey! Lumpy!" and him responding.
They're a wonderful King and Queen. ^_____^
Had a good time. Compared to a lot of the big faires in the states, this was pretty small, less than 200 people. But it's the biggest one in NZ and I think everyone had a really good time.
Got a tankard and a plastic viking helmet with cow horns in the 'lost items' auction. Evidently the plastic viking helmet had been there for a few years, everyone was glad to see it go.
... evidently I've been the only one insane enough to wear it. o_O It also doubled as a hat rack a few times.
There was a wrestling match last night that was great fun to watch. First there was the kids. Then there was the guys wrestling each other, without shirts. Niiiice. One guy lost a shoe and attempted to beat the other guy with it. ^______^
Also mostly done making a squid hat. AKA a squid I can wear on my head. Pictures to come eventually. Right now... sleeeeeeeeeepy.
Train also left us a prezzie, such a sweet kitty. She left us a mousie. Body here, tail there and no idea about the missing hindleg... o_O (she eats birds. mice she can't seem to figure out)
And for the Scadians... some flik fun.
To the tune of 'Frère Jaques/Brother John'
I'm a Saxon, I'm a Saxon
So are you, So are you.
Let's go kill a Norman, Let's go kill a Norman.
Bing Bang Boom. Bing Bang Boom.
[Edit, for the NZ-ers:] Campbell Live was at the Faire as well, they'll be showing the SCA in Jaquie Brown's segment about NZ Clubs and Societies. It should be showing in a week or two. ~_^
[Edit:] Forgot to mention being woken up in the night by a Hedgehog finding it's way into a potato chip bag. All you could see of it was it's butt.
Evidently hedgehogs like salt and vinegar potato chips. Who knew?
