1. Pillows are a must when camping.
2. So is Benadryl.
3. I am really missing having more time to interact with patrons.
4. Angry Orchard Cider is delicious.
5. The jousters' skill at dramberries is impressive, intimidating, and when I think about it a little disturbing.
6. I really do feel closer to everyone this year.
7. I need to work on more really quick interacting "bits" with patrons as well as other cast members since my time is indeed limited.
8. Odette Baguette is absolutely hilarious and a little bit naughty.
9. I felt absolutely fabulous when, after a joust, a young lady wanted a picture with me to put in her scrapbook.
10. Parade is way more fun when not trying to keep patrons from trying to get too close to Gracie.
11. And once again my fellow cheerleaders are awesome!!!!

What I Learned at Festival: Week 1
Things I learned from Faire Week 1
1. Being a cheerleader for joust did not get any easier despite this being my 2nd year.
2. A "thank you" from Sir Rolland made cheering a lot more worthwhile.
3. As Mandie said in her post: I need to sit more. My legs are singing today and the song is not "Rambling Rover."
4. I helped make a child's day by interrupting the queen's probably much-needed rest so she could meet Delilah. Thank you Beth!
5. Walking to pavilion after 2nd joust is hilarious when you are telling religious jokes. Thank you John and Beth for the stimulating conversation.
6. It's all fun and games in the rain until it gets cold.
7. Forgetting your pillow sucks when camping.
8. When using the port-a-potty at night, the flashlight made it look like the TARDIS. I also thought Matthew's blinking of the flashlight enhanced the effect.
9. Parade is a lot more fun when you are in front of Celtic Legacy.
10. It was very humbling being confused for one of the gals from Hey Nunnie Nunnie. I am nowhere near these wonderful a ladies' caliber.
11. Kitty Kjeldsen, Amy DeHerrera, Kathrynne Watson, and Lizzie are awesome!! That is all

For Love of the Festival
I have finished my 2nd weekend as Sister Helen Baque at the Colorado Renaissance Festival. This is my second year as a festival performer, and I have learned many things. These posts will come soon. I am finally doing something that I absolutely love. Now the big trick will be to keep the enthusiasm and passion running high throughout next school year.
