Brazilian Party and Renaissance Fair


Sorry for the silence yesterday – things have been crazy lately. This weekend is a case in point. Friday night Richard Bonomo, Luxuli, her husband, and I went to a local bar for a Brazilian party; we thought there was going to be actual Brazilian food there, but it was just fruit, cheese and crackers, and a lot of popcorn. Plus the hostess who invited us wasn’t there, and she didn’t show up as we waited, so we finally took off for some real food after the band quit playing. They were good, at least.

Saturday Luxuli, Jilly Moose, OK Cap, and I met for coffee and then prayed the rosary in a park off State Street. Then we looked at some of the stuff that was for sale at Maxwell Street Days, the big street sale. Later Mamastep and I drove to Tiffy’s house, then we all went out for Italian. Sunday we got up and went to the Bristol Renaissance Fair where we bought stuff, listened to two bands, watched sword fighting and jousting, saw a unicorn and cute baby animals, and drank absinthe. It was Steam Punk weekend so some people were dressed up in Victorian styles, while other people were wearing very imaginative interpretations of Renaissance and Medieval fashions. Chain mail bras? I don’t think they actually had those back then. Mamastep bought a little steam punk hat, Tiffy bought a bodice, and I got a necklace with a Celtic cross. Like I need another Celtic cross necklace, right? Can you ever have too many?
