Unlike the first weekend, and most of last summer, this weekend was simply beautiful. The sun was out (again, making for bad picture taking days), but the temperature was sublime. Given that my "summer schedule" has fully kicked in, I didn't quite make it to opening gate either day -- in fact, it was pretty lucky that I made it in before the mid-day parade. What that means is that I've found it awfully hard to wake up before 10:00 am, but have been wondering why the faire is closed at 2:00 am. Am I alone in the wish that faire went on until after dark? Am I? Am I? I've been missing out on the wench walks by the new Wenches Guilde at Bristol, as well as the Pub Crawls that happen daily at 3:00 pm starting at the Pig N' Whistle (those, of course, are unofficial events). Instead, this weekend, I sat near the Dirty Duck most of Saturday people watching. Sunday, I took a nap at the Hamlet and browsed through most of the shops. I also learned that we should be keeping an eye on the upcoming game Red Faction 2. Why? While we won't recognize anyone in the game by face, we'll recognize someone's moves.

The music flows as well as the ale at the Pig N' Whistle Pub	Checkin' out the food court across the way from the Pig N' Whistle	Captain Sin Jin Hawk gets down on his knees	Representatives of the new Wenches Guild
Lady Isabella sure has a big mouth, wouldn't you say?	Phoenix's feathers	Nobles relax and applaud in the glade	The door remains guarded
Her majesty, Elizabeth Gloriana, feasts	Interacting with the wee ones	"...so two peasants walk into a pub..."	Making way for the Queen
Sir Ambrose Dudley, Earl of Warwick	Margaret Douglas, Dowager Countess of Lennox	Ladies sipping in the noble gossip	Only a fool would curse the nice weather
