I visited the Renaissance Pleasure Faire in Northern California this past weekend, as you all well know. My favorite moments of note:

• The types of brilliant conversations that only silly girls can have in the car on the way up.


• The truck stop where old black men go to eat pie and die.


• Belting musicals out at the top of our lungs in Kadessa.


• The fish-and-chips cow.


• Casa de Kittens!


• Wondering if DanWill was actually going to suck the tent in on himself and Lexie with his Snoring of Doom(tm).


• Shoppies!


• The hotness of Taliesin with no hair.


• The stereotypical older hippie woman lavishing praise on me and Taliesin. "You're both so aesthetic. You add so much atmosphere here... you're so lovely and beautiful..." She was brilliant.


• Actually getting to see Taliesin, Caddy, Willow, Patch, et al. Many people that I adore that I don't get to see nearly enough.


• Hat shopping with Cecily and Willow. "You're covered in bees!"


• Ice-Cream Social turning into Southern invasion.


• Being kiss-raped by Clare. I win.


• Butternut squash. Yummy.


• "I want to make sweet hate to you."


• Watching K's descent from a normal, upstanding woman into a foaming ball of sexual frustration. I shall say no more.


• Learning of Laura's amazing superpower; the ability to walk through hay, but only if she's not wearing any pants.


• Caddy's Victorian Balls(tm).


• $10 DanWill/Caddy slash.


• Baby Phone Jesus with the Three Wise Phones.
  
• "Gah! Was your hair red last night?!" "Uh, yeah. It was sort of really dark outside..." "Oh. Right."


• Belles, Merry Wives, Morris dancing, oh my!


• Greek food.


• SHOES. SHOES IN THE HAY. Descending into madness.


• Ehehehehee. They're going to kill me.


• Ridiculous amounts of harmless gossiping on the way home. Ah, hart. Sometimes I am such a girl.

Thank you so much to everyone that I ran into this weekend for making Northern such a great time. I had a blast.
