For years I enthusiastically attended Southern California Faire 
several times each summer (as a customer aka 'turkey') and once 
travelled up to Northern Faire, and I have a ton of clothes from The 
Dye Spot and showier clothiers and lots of accessories, and I've 
dressed several of my friends so we can go as a group, and one of my 
missions in life is to induce Regina to buy herself a decent sword. 
She always goes thru this pattern in which she REFUSES to spend 
enough money for a good sword and REFUSES even harder to let anyone 
else give it to her as a gift, so she buys some cheap piece of crap 
intended for hanging on some Muggle's wall, and then she's too 
ashamed to be seen in public with the crap sword and accidentally on 
purpose loses it....

but I missed going to Faire even once last summer and I expect that I 
won't go this summer (last weekend, April 28-9, was Opening Weekend) 
because, ever since my chiropractor got married and moved to Marin 
county, my back has been hurting so much that the *thought* of 
walking around all day makes me cry....

Why do you ask?
