Does anyone have any new great bands for me to listen to?

King Richard’s Faire

We hit King Richard’s Faire this past weekend. I decided I had not seen enough of the fun last year, and proceeded to drag my boyfriend and his cousins along for the ride. (Actually, I did very little dragging.) I have to say, I love it. I might drag them all again next year. We started at the jousting tournament. It’s obviously fixed, but who cares. It’s like wrestling. Well, it’s like wrestling with less bodily injury and more horses, which is win-win, in my book. Then we moved on to the beverages - having the yard of beer is a must. Sadly, they no longer come in yard long glasses. Also, a word of warning, it will get expensive. The food is expensive and at the end of every show people are asking for money. I just treat it like a casino, take out whatever money I’m willing to spend, and enjoy. We browsed in the shops, picked out some nice teas and smelly oils for the apt, and moved on to the food. Turkey legs! I was composing songs to the turkey legs (as well as the yards of beer) in the shower that morning. J was not as pleased with my singing as I was – apparently I had composed a very catchy mind worm tune. We also had the fried dough, caramel apples, and fudge.

                In between stops at the food carts, we made time for a few other shows. We saw the Mud Show (two guys telling a few dirty jokes and challenging each other to gross-out competitions with mud) and the Big Cat Show (Ligers, and tigers, and lynxes, oh my!). The cats were very impressive. A 900 lb liger was walking just a couple yards from us, with a young Arnold holding his chain. I’m glad they keep them well fed. Plus, there are all the sights to be seen just walking around. A lot of time and effort goes into this place, and it shows. I can’t wait for next year.
