Hey, it's almost that time! The Carolina Renaissance Festival is coming up in just 10 days! Watch the right sidebar here for the hourly countdown, if you like. Now I won't be able to be there on opening day, but I'm going to try and get there Sunday afternoon. And after the first week, I will be there quite a bit. If you've never been, come on out!

It really is a wonderful place. It's a place to really escape from today. There's almost no electricity, and everyone is there to have fun. The performers are really entertaining and they ALL appear happy to be there. If you work around people who just hate to come to work every day, you will be refreshed.

In addition, there's almost no judgment there. People don't look at you and judge you by the way you look or who you voted for last year. There's almost no political discussion of any kind. And you can relax all day long around people who will become your friends. Again, I offer to anyone in the area, if you want to come out and hang around for a day, please do. I'm willing to meet up with about anyone nearly any day (certainly any day I'm there).

Oh, and I got my season pass a little while ago. They appear to be sequentially numbered. Should it bother me that mine is #18?

3 Ogre - from last year's festival you posted a CD from a wonderful young lady with a voice like "water over silk" and who played a mandolin"?" She was playing most folk type music. What was her name or website. Thank you!

4 Young lady and a mandolin? There's two wonderful voices that I can remember -- one plays the harp, the other sings unaccompanied. The harp player is Sarah Mullen: http://ogresview.mu.nu/archives/204845.php Is that the one you're looking for?

5 Bingo, that's the one Ogre. Thanks, and may the God of your choice, Bless you!
