So, a couple weekends ago now, I went to visit [livejournal.com profile] corpsefairy and her household. We went to the Dickens Faire in San Francisco, which is a lot like the Rennaissance Faire, only Victorian era. It is a whole pile of fun, other than being really crowded, which as some of you know can create a bit of tension in me. Still, delightful.



Becca getting [livejournal.com profile] corpsefairy's hair all fixed. I love her look of concentration here, and the angles of her hands and wrists, which may or may not end up im a drawing at some point or other. New Year's Resolution #2 is to get better at drawing hands!!! (#1 is to learn 1 new session tune per month).

Gavin, on his travel cage, preening. While everyone else was getting their clothes and hair together. ;) He went visiting with me and loved it, but of course I didn't actually take him to the fair.

Jackel Victoriana. The bodice is one of [livejournal.com profile] corpsefairy's extras, the skirt is one of Becca's extras, and note the cool thing Becca did to my hair. 0_o Yes, between the two of them, they have enough extra Victorian clothes to costume *three* other people. With plently left over. Dude, costumers. Yes, they made almost all of it themselves.

Afterwards, we went back to Momentum house, where there was a pleasantly low-key party atmosphere. After a while, Becca and Brendan started up the Jazz, which was wonderful! [livejournal.com profile] joreth caught some of it on film, and I'm reposting it here. Hopefully, she will not object. The video and sound seem a tiny bit off, but you still get the idea (and can hear Becca singing 'Summertime'. prrrrrr).

This is my first attempt to embed a youtube video, hope it works.

I love that song. Beautiful.

Yeah, it is one of my favorites. I was thrilled when Becca sang it and even more so when Joreth recorded and posted it! I play it on the fiddle sometimes.

What a awesome outfit you got there.

Hmmm...bummer I'm way over here. It'd make a pretty sweet photo shoot. :)

Thanks! It is pretty nifty. I am a big fan of victoriana. :)
I could bring it with me to Morphicon if you were still inclined to do photos then.

Ooo. That would be a very cool idea. I'm pretty certain I'd be inclined. :)

I'm guessing the most oft-repeated joke is someone going 'Please sir, can I have some more?'

Fiddle for you? Gladly. Just show up. :) I probably WON'T play twinkle, though. (or any of its gazillion variations. Yeah, I was Suzuki trained as a kid).

Gavin says thanks, and he knows he's cute. :D

Oh my god, I would love to go to that. I don't think we have anything like that around here. (We go to the local ren and pirate faires.)

It is deeply fun, and runs in San Francisco in December. :D

I have absolutely no objection to you reposting. It does seem pretty off, though, I'll have to see what I can do about that. It was totally awesome getting to spend more time with you, must do that more often. I'm working in all of my vacation pictures today, so hopefully in the next day or two I'll have them all on my website www.theinnbetween.net.

BTW, how do you get your pictures to post so large?

Well, er, I just download them into my computer and then use photobucket, and that's the size photobucket puts them. I'm not spectacularly technologically literate, but I hope that helps...

Hmm, I upload directly to LJ and it keeps wanting to resize them very small :-( They will be bigger on my site

I'm looking forward to that. :) And yes, it was great getting to spend more time with you! I'll check your site tomorrow.

Do you happen to have more of the jazz recorded?
