Tulare Rennasanice faire
Ever had a bad luck day? How about a weekend? I've had those beofre but I've never encountered the oddball luck of the 2005 Tulare renfaire. It was'nt just me who was having a rough weekend...the whole faire was having a rough time of it.
My weekend start at roughly noon on friday, whith myself hurrying to pack everything I could in my car as I was running a little late. A friend of mine drove by and we waved. I then watched as my friend careened into the side of the road and barely missed a parked car. The steering rod in his Honda had broken at just that moment and he had lost control of the right foward wheel. I helped him get the car over to family property. After leaving a little bit later, I managed to realize that I had forgotten my shoes at home. To make matters even more intersting, I lost a tire on the freeway and learned how to change my own tire for the first time ever. All in all, I still managed to arrive in time to help pitch camp and get my own stguff organized. I had my side of leather stolen, but I've had worse. We were able to double the size of our encampment, so we'll have plenty of fighting space. The mood is pretty upbeat and we're all chuckling
Day 1:
Heh. Guess what? I locked myself out of my car :) The tow truck drivers re now very familer with our guild, as lacey and Matt just locked themselves out of thier RV as well. I have now entered my Hyundai Roadside number into my phone, so I won't have to shell out so much cash next time. On the plus side, I defeated my entire Galloglas unit (except our leader) in hand to hand combat, so I got to be the first Galloglas to wield our flag into battle. I did so well, when we fielded against the English Pike and SHot of St. Maggelens We got our rears kicked, but it was still great to be carrying the McKay colors. We also managed to break 2 wasters and robs head. THere's some definte agresion going around the guild...Gotta find my bracers.
Day2:
This is a bad luck faire ... another waster and another injury. We have'nt been able to complete any of the live steel fights and several other events havent happened. I'm doing very poor in my combats, I'm trying to intergrate a new type of footwork into my technique and I have'nt been successful. At least our procession goes well. Since the queen was celebrating her victory over the spanish armada, we dug up our old spanish mainsail. The Queen loved it. It's been a rough weekend, but we pulled trough. I'll be starting on networkers soon, So'll I post about it soon.:)
