Temporarily out of service
That's what it said on the little cardboard squares scattered around the pump at the gas station - in black on one side and red on the other. I picked one up as I came out of the mini mart with my breakfast this morning on our way out to Faire in Exile. I mean Irwindale. It was just me and the girls today, because Wolf wanted to sleep all day.
It alternated between sunny and nippy, with a little bit of the spitting. Didn't seem to be a big day. As I was not on the schedule, I decided it would be best to take a hang out day. I was in costume (well mostly, still had to put on the suck shoes), so I could practice standing around and talking at people. It's getting all differenty, and we fear change. Despite all the nonsense though it was still a nice day. Had a good time catching up with people again, walking around and stretching my legs, seeing what places have moved to where - pretty busy for a free day.
I think I've managed to put on the costume well. I was surprised that I could manage some basic juggling, not having practiced since just a brief stint during my cameo at Northern. Thanks to Lazlo I now have a pistol to tuck under my belt (and hopefully not lose), only now I gotta figure out how to use it as an effective prop. You know, without accidentally putting someone's eye out.
So next weekend, maybe only Sunday since the Saturday thing is in the maybe zone, I should actually be doing the carny bark for reals. Ahh, springtime.
