We did three shows in four weeks and what they had in common was small towns, and grass lush enough that we did not bother laying out the rugs. And mosquitoes.
They were otherwise strikingly different.
This is the hub post for those three accounts.
UnObtanium Bazaar appeared at the Two Rivers Renaissance Festival in Yuma AZ last weekend [2-4 Feb 2024].
We loaded in in the rain, and the first day featured gale-force winds. As those winds blew the rain elsewhere, and temperatures warmed a bit, the crowds came out, and we had a good Faire.
As we often do, we camped onsite, though this sort of camping is nothing like a quality wilderness experience. Participant camping is under a canopy that shelters livestock during other events. While we appreciated the dry, soft dirt surface, they pack us in there, creating more of a cheap motel experience. However, we could barely hear our neighbors conversations over the grating whine of some nearby agro-industrial complex whose product seems to be annoying noise.
The jets from the nearby marine air field drown out all of that, of course. Not all of the time, but often enough to remind humble merchants the cost of empire.
But they had coffee in the morning, a good mix of folk wandering about once the weather cleared and reasonable beer prices (until they ran out).
We plan to return next year.
