Friday night we stuffed five of us in my wife's Subaru and took off for southern New Jersey through a major storm. It took us just over 6 hours to get here, and the storm covered us for almost all of that.
New York City was tough to pass as one of its major roads (87) was shut down and everyone who would normally use it flooded other roads.
But, I've been passing that way for more than 30 years now, so an alternate route was not hard to find.

The shows went well on Saturday. We did one historical show as well as the fights for the faire's main story line in acts 2 and 4.

(More pictures at some other point. I can edit them on the iPad, but not bulk upload them. So, I tend to wait until I've got my laptop.)

It was quite warm, in the high 80'sF. But, all last week was in the high 90'sF, so this is a good change, even if not as much as I'd like.

After the show we went to the Chinese restaurant where we always go after this show. We got there before everyone else, so asked for a whole room. Then, the rest of the faire came in and went in another room as they didn't recognize us and "didn't want to bother those people."
The head of the faire and his wife came in and sat with us. They're the folks I most like to visit with anyhow, so it actually worked out fairly well.
We're trying to get Anton (the organizer) to start performing with us again at the Florida and Alabama shows. His wife isn't all that thrilled with the idea, but we made it clear she is more than welcome too.
Doubt it will happen, but it is worth asking.

After the long drive Friday and performing in the sun Saturday, everyone went to be pretty early. I didn't sleep well as the bed is a good foot shorter than me. But, tonight (after another 5-6 hour drive) I will get to be in my own bed again.

Today we plan to do everything we did yesterday, and steal a stage to do two more historical shows. Hopefully all will go well.
