This is going to be a quick picture post since I have to go to work in an hour. I promise to post more tomorrow, and write a better entry about the recent MindSay Meetup at the Texas Renaissance Festival - Roman Bacchanal.



We really missed the Mindsayers that weren't able to make it.  It would've been so cool if they did.  Anyway, there's always next year.

p.s. Steeni, I got you something nice. I'll be sending it by snail mail soon.

I wish I can shout loud enough for my voice to be heard three to four miles away from my house, I'd wake Myclette by saying:



Don't forget to stop by her blog and leave some birthday lovin'!!!



P.S. Tomorrow, is my girlfriend UYOKU's 21's Birthday, and I'm getting her and Myclette drunk at the Texas Renaissance Festival, Roman Bacchanal!!! (=°_°=)
P.S. (updated at 2:30pm: Today is also feelnuninspired's Birthday today!

I know, it took me a bit to post my entry about the recent Mindsay meetup at the Texas Renaissance Festival's "1001 Dreams" weekend. After that day, I had a lot of things to catch up on. But here it is! MY TURN!

Note: Some of the pics you'll see in this entry might have already been posted by Myclette and Torridgirl.

Uyoku and I left Sugar Land, TX at around 7:30am. We pretty much headed straight for Magnolia / Plantersville, TX. and it only took us about an hour. We took the US-249 to FM-1774 route to get there.

We made a quick stop for breakfast (and costume change) at the Burger King perpendicular to FM-1774. It was 8:30am and it seems like we got to the vicinity quite early. We changed from our regular clothes to our costumes at the convenience store next to Burger King. We didn't change to it all the way, I still had my Sketchers shoes on. After that, I withdrew $100 from Woodforest's ATM and after that, we went ahead and drove up to the fairgrounds.

At the fairground's parking lot, that's when we decided to complete our costumes.


As soon as we walked in, we heard some music from these Highlanders:



And more music, YARGH!:



Here's the menu from The Agora (Greek Court):



Here's Uyoku with a King and a Knight:



We also got to see the parade, look who I took a picture of:


At around 2pm, we met up with Torridgirl, Myclette, E-Girl and MoreArt4u.



Later on, during the day, we took more random pics:



I don't quite know how this happens, but we tend to get split up from the rest of the 'sayers. Uyoku and I ended up at a Hookah Bar and smoked out for the next 30 minutes or so:




At the magical garden, we took some random pics, too!




More randomness of Uyoku:




Here's when we met up the rest of the 'sayers at the Italian Court:



At the Polish Court, MoreArt4u took the following timeless picture:


After eating at the Polish Court, we all decided to the Hookah Bar to smoke out. But for a party of 6, it wasn't gonna be easy. So we set up an appointment for after 5pm. Uyoku and I decided to walk around to kill some time. Here's a few pics that my tireless camera took:



Time to meet back up with the 'sayers at the Hookah Bar! This time, "chocolate mint" flavor. We were just carefree with the things we were saying or singing. I mean, when a group like this sings the whole "Bohemian Rhapsody" in public, that Hookah must be laced! j/k



After we left the hookah bar, some random dude wanted to take a pic of all of us. After he took a picture, I handed him my camera and asked to take one more:



After taking that pic, we got split up again. I think it's because Uyoku and I are pretty easily distracted. When dusk came along, I went in search for the wooden cups I planned to buy. While I'm at it, I was also able to regain my memory on fixing puzzle rings!

It took us forever to get home. So I decided to use my car's GPS to navigate us out of Plantersville, TX. and into The Woodlands, TX. When we got to The Woodlands, we changed to our regular clothes at the MH Hospital's bathroom and we set sail homebound. The drive back home, took us 2 freakin' hours, all because of the traffic at Plantersville / Magnolia, TX (FM-1774).


There's going to be another meetup at the Texas Renaissance Festival coming up. I think everyone has decided that we're going to hold the Mindsay Meetup on Saturday, November 8, 2008: The Roman Bacchanal! I'm still undecided whether I'm gonna wear a costume or not. Uyoku will be dressing up for sure, either a Gypsy (OMG, that would be so hot) or Toga!

I'm hoping more Mindsayers are gonna make it to the Roman Bacchanal themed weekend...
