At the Ren Faire
mia_mcdavid and I took our foster daughter, carpe_noctum_93 to the Minnesota Renaissance Festival. We were there completely on our own, no connection with colgaffneyis. Mia and I dressed as 16th century Irish Commoners, based largely on the work of Kass McGann. In a midwestern August I was able to be much more comfortable than in the 1630 Scottish Highlander outfits I wear for colgaffneyis. For me this was something of a quick improvisation. With a little work I can make it look better and be even more comfortable. Just need to find more events for Irish garb.
We managed to get front row seats for a demonstration on glass blowing, which was very good. There is still a lot of good stuff at the Fair, but you have to look to get past the crass commercialism.

Irish workshop in Winona
I spent last weekend at Gaeltacht Minnesota‘s summer workshop at the lovely Winona campus of St. Mary’s University (Some pictures here). I went there for the first time in 2007 and have been back every year since. As always, I learned a lot and had a great time.
