I WENT TO TRF AND IT WAS AWESOME.
J invited me out with a big group of her former co-workers. I haven't been to TRF in quite a few years, but I got out my go-to costume dress and made a little ribbon tiara and set off.
We carpooled there along with J's friends N and C, and another car of folks following behind. I drove because J was still working on her costume! That brings back memories. :D We got to the park before noon, which was good, and then of course we spent forever getting everyone into costume. I was sad because I didn't want to bring in my own (modern) purse, but I don't have one to go with my dress. I put my things in N's purse and carried my flip-flops (that got old fast) and determined that I would buy a purse!
No such luck. Only a few places inside make purses, and only one in a style even remotely similar to my dress. I found one I liked, but it was priced at $40 - which is all the cash I had brought, and I was determined not to spend more. So no purse. I'll have to make one before next year.
Instead I spent every cent of that $40 on food, booze (cider!!!), and tips for the entertainers.
TARTANIC.
They were amazing, as always, and they also have out four new CDs since the last time I was at TRF. Thankfully their music is for sale on iTunes now, so I can still buy it - because by the time we went to one of their shows in the late afternoon, I was down to $5 and couldn't buy any of their swag. D:
And then J and I got separated from the rest of the group, sans phones because they were in N's purse. Thankfully we had D with us, who did have her phone, but everyone else was in a show and not answering her calls. Eventually we managed to reconnect with the group, but by that point it was after sundown and I was exhausted, so we opted not to stay for the fireworks and the after-fair rush, and we left early.
So much fun.
I CAN'T WAIT FOR HOBBIT FEAST NEXT SUNDAY!!!
