It
was nice to be home. I cooked a lovely meal to eat with my mate, and she
kept commenting on my broken arm. hmmm. we decided to see a monkey healer.
The Magnus Bauftan is a well known monkey healer in our area. He has a great
relationship with the monkies around here. He has even made me and my brothers
some beautiful necklaces. When Mab brought me to him, he just shook his
head. He told Mab that she would have to guard me much better than she had
been. Now wait a minute, both Mab and I protested. Mab
continued to insist that she has been keeping a very protective eye on me,
but that I am too wild to control. "She is not my keeper", I reminded
both humans. There was a moment of silence, Mab blinked a few times, then
Magnus laughed, saying,"of course, yes yes. I forgot." Silly humans.
He
fixed up my broken arm right as rain! in fact, after a few weeks of physical
theapy, I was downright BUFF! (pictures comming soon~!)
Rest time over, we move on to our next destination, Fremont Ohio. If you
ever get an opportunity to go there, reconsider. It's not a bad place, just
not very exciting. In fact, it was kind of flat.
Paolo met mab in NVa, and they caravaned up to ohio. It was almost midnight
when they arrived at the site of the Faire. The faire was on the same location
as a golf course, and a "Haunted
Hydro". It was a cross between genuinely spooky, and Scooby Doo.
We drove in and found the ren faire area. Right in front of the main gate
into the faire was a overgrown miniature putt-putt style golf course. It
was too late to find anyone, so Paolo, Mab and I slept in our cars.
When morning came, we were taken to the area where we were to set up camp.
Wow! it was surprisingly beautiful! there was an archway and fence made
up of lashed logs, and an awning area also made of logs. Paolo and Mab made
the camp beautiful in almost no time!
It
should be noted that at this time, my pictures of much of the Fremont faire
are currently missing. I think I know who has the film and I hope to have
the pictures up soon! but until then, here are some more pictures to tie
you over....
this is Misti and Brad from Olde Soles, they play excellent music. Paolo
and Mab and I met them at the Faire in St. Louis, and then again at Fremont.
Misti sings and plays the guitar, and she has an amazing sense of humor.
Unfortunatly I cannot repeat most of the jokes she told me here, I can say..."Put
it on a wooden plate." thank you. This couple was more than generous
to let Paolo, Mab and Myself stay at their home for 3 days after the run of the faire. But that is a story for another page.
This
is Queen B. Another lady we met at the St. Louis Faire, she made a one weekend
appearance at Fremont. She is amazingly funny. I don't want to risk copywrite
infringement by sharing the words to her original songs. I can tell you
some of the titles though: Dead Dog Polka, I Hate Vegatables, and
Defrosting My Freezer. I know I know, it just doesn't do it justice.
you should visit her webpage
and buy her cd!!!!!
Now,
this last picture I really don't know where it came from. It was taken in
Fremont, I recognize the Background, and the Cat. His name was Jalepeno,
and he was but a kitten. He was traveling with a group called Gentry's Fashions,
costume venders we are friends with. I know pictures say a thousand words,
but I beg you, please don't read into this one. I was just having a pleasent
conversation with the kitten. I wan't trying to set a trap for him, honest!
I'm going to leave you now. I have given you but a taste. I promise you
though, I will continue to write more, and post more pictures. I have been
traveling since Fremont. Mab has been a great subject. I have learned much
from her. And I think I have learned a bit about myself. I won't tell you
any morals, or conclusions. This study if far from over. But I suppose I
should leave you with a closing thought. hmmm. Alright. How about...
I ~am~ The Monkey.
