Sightseeing

Oh, I haven't written about Renn Fayre yet. The memory exists in bits and pieces. Here are some things I saw at Renn Fayre:

A man eat a live scorpion

Dozens of people I vaguely recognised from class painted blue and running around naked

People storming and demolishing a giant wooden birthday cake

The whole college dressed crazy, half drunk, covered in champagne and dancing outside the library, snogging everyone in sight and getting covered in confetti fired from guns on the library roof

Little lakes and streams of champagne the next day

A glow opera, with people all ultraviolet and neon and enacting some kind of Big Lebowski/Reed injoke-themed pageant

The best fireworks I have seen since millenium night in London

'Karma Patrol' wandering around handing out water and bagels to people in various states of intoxication

Every Reedie I know being about eight times less stressed than they had been for months
