This last Sunday was the last day of TRF, although I am sadden that the faire ended, new friends were made, more fursuit personnas were met, and thousands of people, those that dress up, those that don't, from all over the world, got to see and meet with Alphonse.

Many rennies, those that follow the renaissance faires around the country, they wear elaborate costumes that rival what some cast members wear, came up to me and told me, that my costume and the way I showed myself, was the best they had ever seen. Hearing that come from these people, is truely uplifting and inspiring to me. I have had several job offerings, to stand in front of some place to attract business, been invited to birthday parties and other photo type events.

The cast of Texas Renaissance Festival really enjoyed seeing me and Alphonse out and about, walking the faire grounds, having my picture taken thousands of times a day. The owner of the faire told me before I left Sunday, that as long as he was there, I would always be welcomed as a lane entertainer, which is what I love to be at these faires. I also left a 5 X 7 print of Alphonse in the snow for him with a thank you note on the back.

I should be in Elgin, Texas next Saturday for a Christmas event parade, it will be cool enough for me to walk the parade, just as long as it doesn't rain. After that, in mid-Febuary, Sherwood Forest Faire starts its 3rd year, and I will be working there until April 1st.
