h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Ahh, to live in the time of the renaissance! I would truely wish it, if leaches weren't high medical technology Not even a simple asprin for a sword slash, just get very, very, VERY drunk.
I made 3 sojourns into the past since my last entry, and the best part....twice was with free passes! (at $24 a person that's no small feat)

The first entry was for costume completion, and as it was raining I got a chance to feild test my Halloween costume (the afforementioned oil-skin garb) and it all passed with flying colors. Yes my hallowed Hessian halibuts, I remained totally dry despite the damp conditions, and everything dryed completely with no ill effects. Bring on the Haunted House!

The second entry was in full garb. We had purchased final adornments (or as it turned out, mostly new outfits) and my Beloved mad her own skirt, which ended up better than I've seen in most shops.
Also, as it was a nice sunny day, I was able to bring Figit. Figit is a shoulder companion, roughly a cross between a cat and a bat, with a cable running out of his tail, which allows me to control his head; in out, left right. The result of which is that is can look incredibly realistic from a distance, and many small children get very excited; seeing it as proof that their parents don't know everything

The third time was a complete surprise. Because of a bizzar turn of events, we ended up with 6 passes from someone that gets free tickets every year, and they weren't going to use them, so they gave them to us! (Must remember to send them a Christmas card)
We tried to get a small group together, but could find no one last minute, so we sold 4 tickets (and made $80 which was mostly spent on a tarot reading and a henna tattoo )
That aside, we once again had a ball! it was raining again, but I (we) have good, sturdy, wool cloaks which actually get warmer when they get wet; so there was no issue there. It being the final weekend it was also packed, dispite the rain.
The shows were fantastic, the deals superb; I can't wait for next year

You could have invited me you complete bastard!

Actually no, you were here

Sounds like you had a blast. Hurrah!

Don't try to difuse this using the truth!!

Sounds very fun. I wish I could see the costumes

FF- I plan on posting pictures as soon as we get them developed (our 35 is much better than either digital )

JEllen - this os one of those "wish you were here (there, anywhere?)" moments, it really is quite fun if you like that sort of thing

Oracle- don't try to dull the truth with...other....truths

How true.
