Faerieworlds!
Faerieworlds last day today! We're prepping to head back out to the site now.We've had a fantastic time so far, and met many wonderful new people and saw amazing sights. Highlights so far: Toby Froud walking around operating a 40-foot-tall articulated puppet, seeing Faun and Delhi 2 Dublin, and seeing Vixy and Torrey dressed as the most perfect Sarah and Jareth pair you could imagine. Anyone with good pictures of the latter, please comment on this thread and I'll put links here.
There were so many wonderful costumes I can't begin to describe them all. Many of them (including Torrey's Jareth) seemed to be in defiance to the incredible, oppressive heat. There was a gentleman in a fantastic black and white death/spectre outfit with full robes and face prosthetics who remained in full character the entire time. He must have lost ten pounds over the course of the weekend. At the same time, many of the costumes were perfectly appropriate for the weather, with more beautiful bare and/or painted skin than you can imagine.
Tricky Pixie played two fantastic sets with Vixy joining them, and we loved hanging out with our loved ones for so much of the festival. Gaia Consort was awesome, too, and we're hoping to catch their second set today. It's been wonderful spending the weekend with Sooj, K, Alec, Sunnie, Betsy, and Dave, and it was particularly wonderful playing with Betsy, Sooj, and Sunnie in our set on Saturday.
To those who came to the Vixy & Tony set, and/or bought CDs, thanks so much for coming! We loved playing for all you new folks, and we hope you enjoyed yourselves as much as we did, and that you enjoy the CD. Please say "hi" in comments, we'd love to hear from you!
