She perked right up (โ€œit me!โ€) looks around for the source of the bellow and saw me.

โ€œTOBIAS!!!โ€
โ€œWHERE?!?!??โ€

Laughing and hugs ensued.

At Faire, at her request, I am now
obligated to greet her with that declaration.

True story: one of my friends transitioned and came to Renfair as a new character. I came to viait, saw her at a table in character, and could not remember her character name.

In a mild panic I engaged my diaphragm and bellowed

โ€œOI! GIANT WOMAN!!!!โ€

Acyn (quoting Donald Trump): AOC is Low IQ.  If you give her an IQ test, have her pass like the exams that I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed. Those are very hard... They're really aptitude coignitive tests.  Let AOC go against Trump.

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ILLEGAL ABOUT PUTTING ANOTHER FENCE IN FRONT OF THE ICE FENCE IN CHICAGO.
THAT I'M AWARE OF. I MEAN, I'M NOT A LAWYER. BUT IF YOU PUT UP A FENCE RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEIR GATE I MEAN WHAT ARE THEY GONNA DO? THEY *WANTED* A FENCE THERE...

I have had multiple people call me a bard OUTSIDE of a Renfair environment this week, and I am 100% not certain how I feel about that beyond "I ... am RESISTANT to calling myself that"

So now I'm gonna screw around with lowball-tuning the high G string and when I want a low G strung banjolele, I guess I have to use my father's banjolele, which I inherited.

Yes, I can say "This is my father's banjolele" which is a phrase almost no one is prepared to hear.

TODAY I LEARNED that since an Banjolele from the Outdoor Ukulele Company of Bend, OR is designed to take a high G (20) string - specifically in the clever slotty thing at the tailpiece - One cannot restring it with a low G (40) string.

This man was the epitome of "gusto" out there.
We all wanted to be him, or at least be around him when he was out there in the dust because he was one of The Ones That Made This Faire.

An all-around Good Fellow.

Tell stories and rile the crowd.

He'd love that.

Some people apparently have very strong takes on whether it's required to have a take, and some mean names to go with them.

My point is that when everyone else already has a take about something you don't feel like investing your mental energy in, it's cool to sit this one out. Take the day off.
