Oregon Country Fair

Thoughts about my most recent Country Fair experience:
Next year, I think I’ll have a short story written which bridges the worlds of SF fandom/conventions and the Country Fair. It shouldn’t be hard to put Mr. Rothakis through such hoops, and if the story is 30-60 pages I can print and bind it myself, and GIVE IT AWAY so people can become familiar with my work. (I could give it away at cons, as well.)
I am troubled by the feeling that more and more of the decisions controlling my enjoyment of the Fair are being made in an Authoritarian manner. I’m not gonna go on about that right now, I’m not ready for that rant yet.
I thoroughly enjoyed the Parades this year. The Fighting Instruments of Karma Marching Band and Chamber Orchestra and the Chinese Parade Dragon both gave good shows. The Flower Covered Man was especially odd.
The opening act at the All-Night Hootenanny across from our booth was pretty good. The electronica band that played third was fun as well.
We should make a sign for our booth to point to the W.C. Fields stage.
I expect there will be some more of this coming along soon.
