Everyone should reset their mind and be playful and carefree once in a while. I kept wondering which Renaissance figure I would feel most comfortable as. A witch? A fairy? A creature with horns? Or maybe I should just wear a dress with a deep decollete showing some cleavage? "The Village of Lancaster transformed into a lively medieval marketplace filled with entertainment, shopping, and fun for the whole family." It was nice to see so many people dressed appropriately for the occasion. What's more, I saw a lot of beautiful tattoos--definitely more than usual. Motifs of forest flora and fauna, as well as magical creatures from fantasy books. The big disappointment was the lack of festival food. Besides The Popcorn, The Pickle Guy and The Mad Irons (not even a food truck, just a booth with a long line of castomers), there was none. I believe The Village of Lancaster wanted everyone to eat at local restaurants. This event, hosted by the Lancaster Village Merchants Association, takes place in celebration of International Mead Day. So--cheers, and see you next year at the 6th Annual Renaissance Street Faire.

And what do you call it when you get letters from your credit card company or the electric company, based in Buffalo, telling you how much you owe them? A nightmare is what you call it! I've seen the Bills play live in person probably 15 times. A few times on the road, and a whole bunch of times at home. They make an intense amazing noise and are one of the best fan bases of any sport anywhere in the world. I love this team even though they need to remember how to run a team. Hopefully the new owner will figure that out. So far so good. My old review was a bit negative. With the new excellent coach, and the new owners injecting some hope, I am raising my homeawayfromhometown team to a 5. I still like the Chiefs a tiny bit better though... Here's my old review. I have to give the Buffalo Bills a 4/5 just because I would feel guilty if I didn't. However there is far more negative to say than positive. (1) The constant rumours that they are leaving town are hard to take. It hurts to lose 4 Superbowls in a row, but it's worse to constantly think that the team will leave. They should come out and say that as long as we get X support that we need to survive here, then we will not leave. Otherwise it's hard not to be a bit down about them. (2) They are hiring very poor coaches, over and over again. The new one might be different, actually, but previously, some of the worst hires in the NFL. This has always been done to save money. It just makes the team stagnate and costs the team more money in the long run. I mean seriously... Dick Jauron? (3) Not enough is done to pack the stadium. In Buffalo, such a passionate sports town, the stadium should always be packed. There are ways to make sure it is packed. (4) More exciting players should be brought in. I know that costs money, but the team is also making a lot of money and should try and give the fans some excitement in return. The one good thing I can say is, the way the team was run in the early 90s was amazing. To go to 4 Superbowls for such a small provincial town team is incredible. I am still impressed by that, and even though they didn't win anything, they deserve all the credit in the world for that.
