This last weekend I went to the Texas Renissance Festival for the second consecutive year, this time with Steve, Gina, Freddy and Forest. I bought a monk bag, which is dangerously close to a purse but still awesome. We watched some cool shows, some of which I grabbed some pictures of and threw on my Flickr page. I do wish I took some of this falconer guy and his birds. They were doing all sorts of tricks and I was to mesmirized to remember to take out my camera. 

Oh and here’s a lightly amusing group of twitter updates (tweets) stright from the festival, slightly edited for contextual reasons.

AdamGlasgow: Messages written on bathroom wall: “if you give good blowjobs meet me here at 4:30pm sharp.” “poop yum,” and “democrats are brainless.” Oh and of course various pictures of dicks.

ShaunPatrick: It’s almost 4:30.

AdamGlasgow: I better get out of here.

Completely unrelated:

As you guys probably know this last summer I went to comic-con (man this post is all about nerd-orgy fests). While shopping at a local grocery store in San Diego I spotted a scruffy looking guy dressed in an elaborate Hulk costume. I talked to him a little bit and was even obnoxious enough to get a picture (although I’m having trouble finding it, if I do I’ll post it for sure). I thought it was funny that he didn’t take off anything but his mask to go and buy lettuce, and apparently so did the employees of the store, because they all ended up having their picture taken with him. 

Well the other day I was over at a friends house and we decided to watch Confessions of a Superhero, a documentary about panhandlers in Hollywood who dress up as superheros, pose for pictures, and essentially beg for tips. Well it turns out the guy who I spotted in San Diego is one of the main subjects of the movie and his name is Joseph McQueen. It was a little surreal watching a movie about a guy’s (farily depressing) life who I briefly met whilst shopping for sandwhich pieces. 

Side note: He seemed like, hands down, the coolest (and least crazy) person in the movie.
