"when first i saw thee thou didst sweetly play the gentle thief and stolst my heart away"

so i didn't mention yet that ashok and i got to meet sean hannity. just for a moment, but we got a picture with him! hehe. also, i've been reading Arthurian legend stories, which i'm really enjoying. so i look up on the internet and some people speculate that some of king arthur's stories may be actually taken from lucius (roman emporer), the guy he defeats. kind of interesting, when you compare this to the animosity between arthur weasley and lucius malfoy from you-know-which-septology. anyway, i really liked the sir gawain and the green knight story.

i went to a medieval street faire here. it was free and accordingly, not quite as good as the renaissance festival in plantersville. it just seemed not-very-authentic. election booths instead of the king's olde ale, plain street booths instead of little merchant shops, too much pavement, not enough musicians and actors, no jugglers, hot dogs instead of elephant ears... you know what i mean. but it was fun. made me want to record some 16th century madrigals!

i've played a couple of times up here. some clubs here have drums and amps (marshall half-stacks!) and stuff so you can just go the clubs with your guitars. (ahem, huff rally people.) i know you (jenn) are super busy with school and your thesis and reading, but surely you miss performing! anyway, probably not monetarily feasible right now, but maybe some time.
