Winding Down
Dec. 1st, 2008 06:38 pmWow, faire season is almost over. It’s been an impressive year, with some pretty crazy events in the world outside and a few hurricanes to keep things interesting, and overall I’m pleased with how it’s gone. This time of year always makes me a bit thoughtful, as I reflect on how life has changed (and how it has remained the same) over time.
I learned a lot this year. I performed in southern Italy for the first time, made my debut at the legendary Sterling Renaissance Faire, and moved my fall show from the Maryland Renaissance Festival to King Richard’s Faire near Boston. Now, at the end of the season, I’ve been reconnecting with my audience in a way I seem to have lost track of as the years have passed, which has been an appreciated injection of passion into my performance.
It has been an absolute pleasure to stay with the Haeuser family here in Louisiana again, surrounded by very close friends and conviviality. There isn’t much time left, but we’re enjoying what we have. Soon I’ll be making my way back north for the holidays with family, and then the new year will see me jetting off to Seattle for a month (thanks Tim and Truly!). While I’m a little wistful to see the season come to a close, I’m really eager to dive into the things that lie ahead!
