Arizona Renaissance Festival--Day 2
March 11, 2008
Back again for another day in the Arizona sun. Ran into
one guy who had just finished The Summoner the night before
and had no idea I’d be at the festival—boy, was he
surprised to see me there! Of course the real fun with a
signing is getting to talk with other people who also love
fantasy fiction. So I had some great conversations with
folks about what we love about the genre, who are favorite
authors are and all kinds of related topics.
Got to know the greyhound rescue people who have the
“king’s dogs” at the festival. They are really beautiful
dogs and very sweet. I made sure to stop by and pet the
dogs every time I passed by!
One of the things I love about Renaissance festivals is the
way it brings the whole fantasy ambiance to life. It’s
easier to envision the music, the dress and some of the
elements of daily life after hanging out at the festival.
I suspect that some of the cast costumes were opulent
enough to have put to shame the garb of real kings and
queens in their day. Whenever I could steal away from the
signing, I really enjoyed soaking up the atmosphere and
especially lovedthe music.
Headed back home after a great weekend—I’ve got the regular
time difference plus the daylight savings change to contend
with, so I’ll be wiped next week, but it was well worth it!
And of course, I’m working on the manuscript for Dark
Haven on the plane!
