I would like to thank the Academy...

[clevermanka]

Two months have never passed so quickly. Yesterday was the last day of RenFest. I had an absolute ass-kicking blast. I will, life allowing, return next year. I want to thank everyone who welcomed me into their funky little tribe with open arms and open hearts.

First, my sister ho's: angel_in_purple, angelbedwell, breaca, breathofgold, cedarsong, corsettegirl, everflame, nottygypsy, otterdancing, sablesam, salacious_saffy, speakup, sprkysgrrl, and most importantly, our beloved madam, rougewench, who invited me along for this fabulous ride. Thanks to all of you for helping me dust off parts of my personality I've not used for a long time.

Then there are the people who welcomed me not just because Red said they had to: dwimmerlaik, fantomas71, gamera_spinning, gmskarka, grnvixen, kalinobeche, mesniu, rowangolightly, thebruce, thedarkbear, and thefox_rb.

Of course, many thanks and hugs to the few I knew before the season started. louie_d_, radcliffe, and solan_t.

Thank you all very, very much. This experience meant more to me than you can know. Last night, when I pulled up to pay my toll at the Lawrence booth, for the first time the money-taker noticed and made reference to my attire. All she said was:
"Today was the last day?"
"Yes," I replied.
"Did you have a good time?"
"I had a wonderful time. Thank you."
And I was back home.

It has been wonderful meeting you and playing. I look forward to many more such times.

Yay!

I am so glad! I was a bit sad that the last weekend was so busy as to not have much mischief between our groups. *wink* It was so wonderful to see you so glowing and happy!!!

I'm so happy to see you step on out and unfurl those wings.

Virus-laden moments aside, it does my heart good to see you explore the ranges of your personality.
You seem _even more real_ to me now that you have re-recruited those under-used personality points.

The capper from the toll-taker was wonderful.

I saw you just in passing on Sunday. I was like "YAY she made it in!" So glad you could be there for the last day!

I wondered what it would be like to one of the whores, but I think I would be too shy and tentative. Not to mention the waiting list! ;)

I would have welcomed you into my heart for YOU no matter what Madame or anyone said. You clearly don't suck. Well, you do...but that's another topic entirely.

So, when can we get together - maybe next week sometime?

I wouldn't mind getting to know some of you all better also, so sticking in a hello here on L's journal

[angelbedwell.livejournal.com]

Meeeeee too, you! I friended ya ;)

[skyflame.livejournal.com]

It was very nice meeting you yesterday. I hope you're feeling better. :)

[skyflame.livejournal.com]

Oh, and I must say the hand trick I saw late yesterday afternoon was very... impressive. ;)

[arian1.livejournal.com]

Bow before the awesome might of the "Hand" or...I guess more appro "The Mouth"

:)

[skyflame.livejournal.com]

Certainly if you also saw the umbrella trick immediately afterward. :)

[dwimmerlaik.livejournal.com]

Hee hee, you rocked my face!all season, but certainly more than ever on the last day! I'm so glad I got to meet you!

[solan-t.livejournal.com]

Shall I tell you that one of my friends is in what he called 'momentary lust' with you and found you great fun to flirt with? ;)

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Aw! Thanks! That's nice to hear. I like to think I'm a good flirt. It's my job for seven weekends out of the year now. =D

[skyflame.livejournal.com]

I found several of Madam Red's women lust-worthy (after all, there's a reason I went home and changed into the full costume), so I can certainly appreciate said friend's feelings. ;)

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

And you looked great, too! Thank you!

[skyflame.livejournal.com]

Not nearly as wonderful as the company I was with, but I do the best I can. ;)

[skyflame.livejournal.com]

(Can you do me a favor, btw, and check my post from the 17th regarding the day? I want to make sure I have the names right. :)

What a good storyteller you are. Perfect.

So glad you had a great time in that wonderful RenFaire playspace, and I'm only sorry I wasn't able to make it out more often.

Thank you. It's easy when you have good material. =) I'm sorry you couldn't make it out more often, too. Next year!
