Scarborough Renaissance Festival 2014

• It is strange for us wait so long but yesterday we finally made it to SRF for this year.

  

  At the ticket booth

• So hot and sooooo humid.
• There are more furries there every year.
  
  
  

  

  I saw this girl later sitting at a picnic table- ready to die of a heat stroke.

• There is hope for this world after all- my spell check still has a problem with furries.
• There were more black people this year than I have seen there in the past. Usually you saw more black children with obvious foster parents but there were lots of black families and young people yesterday.
  
  
• That place needs lots of work. It degrades every year and shows little to none on the improvement/maintenance scale.
• People were getting stuck left and right as we were leaving. As you nose your car into the parking area the land slopes down- good for overall drainage- not good for the 90 % of cars that are front wheel drive.
• I almost bought a didgeridoo- literally, as in I turned back with an offer in mind for one but punked out. Actually, I'll get one when I find the right one.
  
  
  

  

  Taken as he was about to launch into some banter with another worker that included the phrase, In the words of the immortal Ron Jeremy...

• We had watched the Iris and Rose show a time or two (or parts thereof) but I had no idea how crude it was. To my shame I sat through multiple horrible Jew jokes. In my defense the first was more/less tame and was followed by a Catholic priest joke and then a dig on men- so, I might have been excused as thinking they were going to goof on everybody equally but no- there was 3 cruel/crass Jew jokes for every one of whatever. Some people were very uncomfortable as it was an uncomfortable situation for anybody with a sense of decency. In the performers defense (if there was one) a lot of the bad jokes were from the audience.
  
  
  
  
• Some things you don't do- because it is rude if nothing else.
• A lot of the normally and apparently this year also well cared for animals were sick. I don't know if it was something going around among them or the recent rain, high heat and humidity or what but several were sick and obviously so.

  

  They had a unicorn! I want to believe.

  
  
  
  

  

  Sickly duck was sickie

  
  
  

  

  I could  have paid the 3 dollars to see Romulus the world's biggest ass but it was more fun to sneak a peek through the crack in the fence
