2004 Renaissance Festival Crew - October 9th, 2004 

Meg at Halloween last year as a fairy, although she swore she was a butterfly. 

A beautiful October sky.

I've missed this time of year
I'd fill storm rain in paper cups
I'd buy the rights to this setting sun
but I've missed this time of year

~ Time of Year by Eight Days Gone

Steve at the Crack Whore Barrel looking at me hungrily... 

Tweak proudly standing near the mess that he made while Steve & I went to brunch and KMart. He destroyed half of a roll of toilet paper. The rest of it is trailed throughout poor Stevie's apartment. 

Tweak looking nervous... 

Me campaigning in my own special way. Kerry & Edwards! Can I get a Huzzah?

The cast of the Murder Mystery Party held September 4th at the Kabuki Rodeo. Sean as Rapier Montana, sword swallower & juggler. Crystal as Serpentina, the medusa lady who plays with snakes, hisses, and drinks poison. Shawn as Vigor Deathe, the tattooed man & author of the storyline for the Murder Mystery.

Nikki as Katherine "Kay" Boom, the human cannonballer & redneck. Leslie, wife of Ken, as the firebreathing alcoholic, Promethia Jackson. Leslie took her part a little too seriously and got absolutely wasted that night. =)

Ken as Barnaby Johnson, the circus ringmaster and owner. Mr. Johnson was the victim at the Murder Mystery Party. Well...actually, he's not really Mr. Johnson. He's actually Mel Gibson pretending to be Mr. Johnson. Mel Gibson murdered Mr. Johnson and was attempting to take over his circus & turn it into an elaborate production called "The Passion of the Circus". Madame Mama discovered this and poisoned the imposter.

Chris as Angus Agony, the Geek/Freak. It turns out that Angus is actually the siamese twin of Rapier Montana who cut himself off of Rapier, literally.

Me as Madame Mama, the fortune teller, wife of Barnaby Johnson, ringmaster, & murderer of the imposter, Mel Gibson. Nikki again as "Kay" Boom.

Trisha as Chandelier Saint John, the trapeze artist & secret daughter of Madame Mama. Her husband, Joe, as the lion tamer who was mauled and is now afraid of lions, Klaus Von Sturgin.

Kevin as the circus strongman, Captain Strongarm McCoy & his lovely wife, Debbie, as Francine "Frank" Dobey, the bearded lady. The bearded lady is pre-beard in this photo. =) During the course of the evening we discovered that Strongarm had been taking steroids...well not really. He thought he was buying steroids from Kay Boom, but it turns out that she was just selling him vitamins. =) We also discovered that Frank had an illicit relationship with the ringmaster, Barnaby Johnson. Naughty, naughty ringmaster!
