Bristol Ren Faire Part Deux & Trois!

 

Brother Jason & I visited the Ren Faire in Bristol on two more occasions this past summer. Click on READ MORE! for pics. Here's the link to our first visit in July.

 

Incidentally, at the end of the day, there's a pow-wow where everyone comes together and dances for a half an hour. Check it out.

 

"Merry Meet! Merry Part! And Merry Meet Again!"

How to eat a cream puff at the Wisconsin State Fair.

Not...

...like...

...this. $4 for one. What a mess. Haven't been to the fair since before I moved to Cali in 1998. A 1/4 of this puff woulda been just fine. And my stomach felt like shit afterwards. It was good though.

A few Solstice honeys.

Oops...how did Greg Nowak get in there? Sorry. Children - turn away.

Even though this picture of me and my Aunt Ev (dad's youngest sister) was taken the day before the parade, I wanted to include her in my Solstice Honey post 'cause she bitched at me last year as all the "honey's" were blondes. And after all, my Aunt Ev is the best Solstice Honey out there!

Check out my 2007 Solstice Babe post and the story behind the lame Solstice beer garden from last year. Newsflash! The beer garden is still fucked up. Same pathetic layout (the size of my right nut) AND - get this - they were charging a $5 cover to get in. BULLSHIT! I say to the beautiful city of Santa Barbara. We boycotted the garden this year - which is why I limited in my shots of Solstice Honeys this year.
