Post-Faerieworlds

[tfabris]

The last day of Faerieworlds was fantastic. At the end of the day, we all gathered at the campground with our Ash, Erosong, Coppermoon, Cerulia, and Sidhehaven friends. Singing songs around the campfire gains a slightly surreal air when you have a string section instead of just a guitar. As the sparks from the campfire floated into the sky and the nighttime chill closed in around us, drawing us closer to the fire, I was reminded that sometimes the best and most magical moments from a festival are the ones that aren't part of the event itself, rather they're the result of the gathering of people. That's really what these sorts of things are always about: simply getting everyone together so that awesome things can happen.

As promised, here's a picture of Torrey and Vixy as a perfect Jareth and Sarah, posing with Toby Froud.



My fondest thanks to Emilio and Kelly for having us in your Realm this year. It was magical.

Vixy looks lovely as always, but Torrey is uncanny! After all my pestering that you needed to play FW, I was ill, and didn't make it, but my brother Frank brought me rave reviews of your set. Looking forward to future magic.

oh, gods. I can only imagine. And you're so right, the shows are wonderful, but the *community*, and the magic we do... words cannot express.

That was the first camp fire I've built in a decade (heck, it was the first time I've been camping in that long!) and it was an honor to have you and your band mates gathered around as family.

Someone asked me what my favorite memories of this, my first, Faerieworlds were and I answered that they all happened right there in the combined camps of those you mentioned. Thank you and all of your company of bards and gypsies for being a huge part of those memories.

I was so happy all weekend that we got to see you all, and Sunday night's music making was some of the best ever. We need to hang out more often, methinks.

[tfabris.livejournal.com]

I agree completely. Come up to see us more often. :-)

Despite the terrible heat, it was a magickal event, and my first FW. I'm just sorry I had to leave on Sunday - I'd have loved to be around the campfire with you! Being in that combined encampment with all the beautiful loving folk from the various families was magic in itself. Much love and laughter was shared. I'm glad you got to feel that, too (and glad Rit and Angi got to share at least part of the FW magic!)

Hey, I heard Rit got back from the hospital and was OK, but did they give a diagnosis?

[kikisub.livejournal.com]

She wasn't there for the fireside concert? Oh...I was hoping she was! She got out of the hospital on Sunday and I passed them on the road as I was leaving. The diagnosis given was a bad case of intestinal flu. She is doing okay, gradually getting her energy back, but taking it slow getting back on solid food.

I'm sure she was there, but I didn't get a chance to ask. :-)

Greetings, my name is Eric, I was the snake man roaming around terrifying faeries on Saturday. A mutual friend of ours said that you were looking for more faerie world photos so here are mine.
