Found out yestarday that my company won the contract for where I work again. So as long as I dont screw up I have a job for another 5 years at least. |

Would really like to get a few pictures of an Oriole this year. I know of 2 spots that I have seen them around this time of year. One is right near work.
I really need to get off my ass and get some work done around the house (both inside and out).
Can't wait for the next Ren fair to start.
I need to pay more attention while bowling so I dont hinder the team and lose less games. |

Well the good thing is the hotel was only about 6 1/2 miles down the road from faire.
We got to faire with enough time to hear the cannon as we were walking from the car.
One of the first things I noticed was that there were not alot of folks dressed in garb and the faire had been open for 5 weeks already. After I got my schedule/flier for the place the next thing I noticed was that the faire grounds are shaped kind of in a "j" shape. I was told by some folks that they are trying to make it all the way around and into a circle. The beginning part of the faire has some open space that could really use some trees also.
I did like the fact that when you get food they also serve drinks at most of the same stand instead of having to go to a drink only stand. I also did not see any bars set up like our faire, but they did server drinks like mamosa's from a cart stand.
Fellow maryland rennies that have been to this faire before also told me that the entertainment staff does not get paid, they work for tips only. They did not have a drench a wench stand but they did have a Insult both where you got to throw tomatoes and they had a roving Insultor named Shamus.
Got to see the Pyrates Royal and other musicians play, the NCRF has small pavillions set up thur out the faire for them to play at.
One thing that did surprise me was that they dont have a lot of rose peddlers like our faire. I saw 2 guys walking around selling roses and one girl at a flower stand. I did like the fact that some of the performers did not talk alot or at all. They made you feel what they wanted thur there body movement and facial expressions. I wish I would have sat down and watch more of the Ded Bob sho. The was definately plenty to see and watch including a star wars storm trooper in a kilt. |

| Photo Use for internet Guide |
[Sep. 26th, 2007|11:21 am] |
I personally think this is kind of cool.
I posted some of my pictures up on flickr from the trip to New Orleans last year and was sent an email a couple weeks back stating that a internet site called schmap was interested in one of my pictures that I took in the Bubba Gump restaurant. This photo has a bunch of friends in it like (going from left to right) ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) lamia_prime,hotfix,ceosanna,lost_in_avebury,papercuppie,brute_force, and xpi. bryanl was also there but had stepped out just before I took this shot.
My photo can be found by going to Schmap and looking in the upper right hand corner. |

Oh Damn! The word came down this morning for everyone to move inside the fence at work. Something about terrorist(zombies) planning an attack. We really arent suppose to be near any outer doors or windows but I have heard some gun fire off in the distance and smell some really fowl odors in the breeze. Most of the phone land lines dont work anymore, and the internet connection is being really fickel. I hope my family and friends are doing o.k.

You show efficiency when working for a good cause.
But you tend to be a bit fussy when it comes to doing something out of the ordinary.
Like many Virgos, you want to stay out of the spotlight.
You do well at picking up the smallest details.

| Haunted Forest |
[Oct. 30th, 2006|10:16 am] |
Well I went to a Haunted Forest this weekend down in Poolsville,Md. I have not gone to one in a long time. It only cost $20 for a 20 minute hike thru the haunted forest and they have other things you can do that cost extra like a haunted hay ride, death jump, spider walk, haunted bus and bat flight. It was very fun, they had several giant bon fires for you to stand around while waiting for your number to be called before you go thru and they had food and drinks to purchase while you wait. They had the lights set up in the woods just right so that it limited your vision and the actors could hide on the ground or in the bushes and they had different buildings set up for you to walk thru or by for people to jump out at you. My group had a total of 6 people, I got startled a few times but never screamed out loud, and I think everyone else got scared a few times too. There was a group of young girls behind us that were screaming thru the whole thing. Over all it was the best Haunted forest or house I have been thru in a long time. |
