I'm beginning to think mundanely....
Jun. 13th, 2004 09:50 pmOtherwise, the cry of "heretic" at the Sedalia renfest, and the realization what someone was pointing at By& I wouldn't have been a surprise. Duh, we were wearing our "dirt" shirts (see below), and the person calling to us (rather than about us) knew us from Heartland. *blink* 'Tis a bit odd, though, walking through that sort of environment, and being called a heretic.
Had a good time today. Sedalia runs a nice little fair--a bit on the thinly populated side, since they got the wild storms last night too, and half the vendors packed up and went home. But fun. We hung out with the folks running the Highland Games, and By tried some of them. He decided his performance would have been improved were he wearing the proper attire (kilt and gillies--he plans to have *something* close by Tara).
Didn't do much shopping while we were there, just a cd by Three Pints Gone, and 1000 yds of a 2-ply handspun tussah silk ($30, do you believe that?) that I could NOT resist. The lady doing the spinning sold it for $0.03 per yd. Wonderful, wonderful stuff. It's going to be a lily-of-the-valley lace shawl eventually. Not the one in the most recent Knitter's Magazine, but a slightly different treatment of the pattern from a recent issue of Spinoff (which looked like it would show off a thicker yarn better). Got to get more done on The Sweater before I start anythign else, though.
( It's Kansas, got to talk about the weather at least a little bit. )

***dirt shirts = the tshirts A had made for the firetenders at Heartland this year. The front says "At 5000 degrees, even dirt burns" in bright orange, on a black shirt. The back says "Fire Hoard/Heartland 2004". And yes, I know it's misspelled. A doesn't always proofread things before they go out. But "hoard" is somewhat appropriate, considering the "hoarding" of the pyro tricks. Anyway, the shirts really stand out. We were getting weird looks all day.
