Well, I couldn't go to HHUS2006, but we could go to a Renaissance Faire! After our SATURDAY WORK MEETING that lasted until 2:30 p.m., argh. Ah well, that's why they pay me the big money (not).
I'll cut for pictures!
Here's us when we first arrived. We almost didn't go in our outfits, 'cause we spent a lot of money on them and it was raining pretty hard all day (in Las Vegas!). Thankfully the rain stopped.

Here's me trying out a "Dread Pirate Gretchen" snarl.

Here's
sharpeslass with Captain Tom, who gave us in/out passes.

This next one is my favorite picture, 'cause we look like we're sloshed (and we are):

The way you get sloshed off of mere BEER is to not eat all day 'cause you know you're getting into a corset, then put ON the corset (which does NOT allow you to eat), then walk around a Renaissance Faire with a constantly-refilled mug of beer. Then try to go through shops without purchasing anything. Apparently I bought a new pirate belt-- I'm wearing it in this picture-- 'cause I'd been wearing my Jedi belt with the pirate costume, and when I got home found a white poofy shirt I suspect looks like Howl's from Howl's Moving Castle. Yeah, so I have a crush on a cartoon, sue me. It'll be a new costume, just you watch. :)
Hope to see some HHUS2006 pics from you peoples on my lj-list!

As for Saddlery Apprectince hottie-boy, well, it wasn't meant to be. I went back to flirt mercilessly the next day and the Saddlery was closed because it was raining. Le sigh.
He so wanted me! ;-P
Cheers, Jean

But I'm so happy you guys had a good time and you both look fabulous! Dang it, I miss you!
