Texas Renaissance Festival 2011 7th weekend
14 years ago
Another successful and fun weekend down for TRF! Thousands of patrons that went there this last weekend got to see Alphonse either for the first time or again. Many people tell me that my costume and personna is the best they have ever seen anywhere. I never grow tired of hearing that! This weekend I got to meet, as Alphonse, a beautiful dragonness named "Fyreflicker' I believe she comes from the Colorado area, she has a very beautiful brown leather dragon mask with green eyes, her costume is very nice to look at and watch how she moves in it. Sadly, because I work there, I am not able to carry a camera with me, but on the plus side, a friend traveling with her did take a picture of us together. As for a custom I have, I did give her a present of a 3 X 5 inch photographer of Alphonse in the snow. I haven't checked to see if she is a member here, but I will later.
The next Friday, Sat and Sunday are the last 3 days of the TRF, I will be attending all 3 days and hope to have my picture taken a few thousand more times.

How I pine for a good Renaissance Festival.....I have not been to one since 2010...

I consider myself very lucky, I have heard that there are certain Renfaires up north that do not allow any fantasy characters at all. The three I go to, TRF, Sherwood and Scarby are very open to Alphonse, as a patron or member of the cast. When this faire ends, I will have two months to wait for Sherwood Renfaire to start, and, lucky me, it is only 20 miles from my home. I will not be able to attend Scarborough Renfaire as often as I did in the past, due to weather being warmer and its 180 miles from my home.

I look forward to getting back up there as often as possible - hopefully of those times you'll be there! <3

I will let you know the days I will be there, in the meantime, try to make it to Sherwood Forest Faire in Feb-March

That sounds like a good idea. It's probably a bit colder in February making it more suitable for those of us with extra layers of fur! XD

Yes, I always look forward to cooler weather when I am wearing Alphonse, and I can wear his cloak, that has a tail slit and ear holes in the hood.
