i hit the arizona renaissance festival last weekend and it was a complete hoot. there are so many folks that come dressed the part who aren't working there, it's hilarious. while i did not partake in any of the many foodstuffs available on-a-stick, it was a killer day.

fake jousting = WWF on horses with mug of wine instead of plastic cup of beer.

what an interesting community but it makes me wonder just what the scene behind the scenes is really like. i've met actual warlocks and witches - sat right across the dining table from a man who morphed into a demon and back in barely a second... it happened. the whole "goth" thing isn't just black fingernails and skull earrings.

i hope that the renaissance community isn't scary and dark behind ye olde false facades.

please drive through

phoenix is now about to find out how well their air conditioners in their cars work. or don't work. these drive-past coffee houses are such gems up in the pacific northwest, basic little sheds you could probably buy at lowes with lanes to drive up, grab your joe and go. no frills, the only challenge is to keep track of which punch card to use at which hut.

as i was saying before i was so rudely interrupted...
