Last weekend my lovely Owner took her took her puppy up to
the Maryland Renaissance Fair along w/ our friend, Poet. We had a great time (despite a bummer ending
for Poet). It’s about a 6 hour drive
from our place – nothing too bad. We
rode up together Friday evening, and were at the Fair site bright and early
Saturday morning. Traffic was fine,
lines were fine, and the crowed was fine.
The Maryland RenFair is a great location: about twice the area of our
Charlotte RenFair and has lots and lots of trees (it’s almost all shaded, and
we didn’t even need to use the sun-screen we brought). We had a great time walking around, drinking
lots and lots of beer, and ogling the eye candy. They have a reptile show and we got to see a
really, freaking huge snake.
Shakespeare’s Scum was, I think, our favorite act we saw; we saw their
funny versions of Richard III and Romeo & Juliette. I solved a math puzzle presented by one of
the wandering entertainers. We ate the
obligatory RenFair food (Scotch eggs!)… and did I mention the beer? There was a lot of beer. They also have a fun, long slide made of
polished wood… and a Ren-themed bookstore where I bought a fabulous little
anthropology/folklore book about werewolves written in 1930, which cracks me up
reading it b/c it is so un-self-critical in it’s obvious Christian bias in that
wonderfully naïve way that only a 1930’s “folklorist” could be – like he
frequently refers to the MalleusMaleficarum as this definitive, authoritative source of information. I love reading anthro/folklore work from that
era in general b/c it has this Indiana Jones meets HP Lovecraft in a completely
non-PC way that, assuming you don’t find it totally offensive, is really quite
fun and charming.
Anyway… Shdwkitten at Ren!
Always a source of entertainment.
While I was solving the afore-mentioned math puzzle, Shdwkitten was
chatting w/ this guy who complemented her ink, and then found out she was there
w/ her husband and a “boyfriend” (sort of) whom she’s also seeing, and then… he
starts hitting on her. And he’s married,
but he’s totally wanting to cheat on his wife (who isn’t there) w/ her. She teased him, and it was very funny. But then she topped that. Because later, we were chilling, and she
complemented this cute, 21-year-old, muscular guy on his ink, and then they
start chatting. Now, I’m wearing my
collar and Ma’am is petting my hair while also hugging Poet, so this guy makes
a reasonable assumption and asks, “Are you on Fet?” LOL.
He turns out to me Roughmeup99 on Fet… and before we’re done, Ma’am
bends him over a fence and, right in front of the crowed, God, everyone, and a
couple of Japanese tourists who took pictures, she body-punches his back and
claws him bloody. LOL. It was just a brief encounter, but we all had
a good laugh, and we’re hopping to get-together again – possibly at our RenFair
in Charlotte
next month… *knock on wood*
The only bummer was that Saturday night Poet came down w/ a
fever… which developed into strep… which caused him to miss Dragon*Con. :(
Which brings me to my second amazing weekend: This weekend
was Dragon. For those who don’t know,
Dragon*Con is one of the largest sci-fi/fantacy/gaming cons in the nation. It’s freaking HUGE. In fact, it’s too huge, which is why I
haven’t gone to one in five or six years.
My first Dragon was in 1990 or ’91, back when it was just in one hotel
and a few thousand people. Then it grew
to 2 hotels and was cool… 3 hotels was alright for a while. But now attendance is over 50,000 people and
it’s in 5 hotels. The last one Ma’am and
I went to in ’07 or ‘08 was so f-ing crowded that we just didn’t have a good
time. We felt like we were either
standing in lines or crushed in crowds all… day… long. So we both kind of said: Never again.
Never say never.
Sir contacted Ma’am a couple of days before Dragon and let
her know he had an extra badge available.
I thought it over… and said, what the hell? I’m so glad I did b/c I had a great time.
Traveling solo, I arrived Friday evening and joined Sir and some friends in
the Point of View Lounge for drinks and a game of Cards Against Humanity (the other game where the rules are made up and the points don't matter). We had so much fun, and were laughing so much
that three ladies from a neighboring table asked to join us. George (Game of Thrones) Martin was also
sitting at a neighboring table.
Unfortunately he didn’t ask to join us, b/c it would have been great to
say we played Cards Against Humanity w/ George RR Martin. (I didn’t see it, but Sir said that Martin
was carrying a sign earlier that read, “Be nice to me or Tyrion gets it!” LOL.)
The card game (somehow) led directly to sexy-fun-time back in our
room. I think it had something to do w/
being gang-banged by the Blue Man Group…? I don’t know – I just seem to remember that at one time I had like four
people biting me.
I had some great roommates, including a couple of our
extended-pack members – Bishop & Gwynn.
The way I’ve explained our pack before (and this is just my take on it;
I don’t speak for anybody else here): we have the sort of “core” group of pups
who recognize Loki as our Alpha in some more-or-less formal, D/s way and we
follow his protocols (which I think consist only of “Do what the fuck Sir tells
us” and “Don’t like olives”), and that’s myself, Tebow, Soma, and Hunter...
then there’s this more nebulous group of other pups who surround us and we also
have loads of fun with, and that includes a wonderful couple of non-domestic-canine
puppies: Bishop (hyena) and Gwynn (wolf).
Saturday morning, Sir had to do one of his speaking panel
things, and an old friend of mine (one who I went to Dragon with back in ’90 or
’91 when we were teenagers) joined us for the day. After Sir’s panel, we hiked over to the
Dealer’s Room – which was huge and sprawling and labyrinthine. At times I wasn’t sure if we were going to ever
make it back out again. I did drool over
some Star Wars motorcycle/replica jackets, but I didn’t find anything that I
both wanted and could afford. (Although
later I did buy a used-kilt off Bishop, so that was cool!) Eventually we got out of the Dealer’s Room
and got some food. My friend and I tried
to get in on a Marvel Supper Heroes RPG game but it filled-up. That was disappointing b/c I haven’t played
Marvel Super Heroes in like 20 years.
One slot opened on a classic dungeon crawl game so I let my friend take
that… and so I headed back upstairs to rejoin Sir and co. We went to the FeLife meet-n-greet. I saw Noir (my Owner's Ma'am's Sir), but otherwise it was a bust b/c
they held it right next to the karaoke and it was too, damn loud to
meet-n-greet… so we left that to go to LGBT Rainbow Flag Party. Sir had me on-leash, which always makes me a
very happy puppy doggie! *wags* But this night it also served a practical
function, as Sir was wearing his (incredibly awesome!!!) steampunk Saint
Bernard leather-pup hood, which meant he couldn’t see well, so, leashed to him,
I was also kind of acting as a seeing-eye-dog.
We left the party before it was too terribly late and went
back to our hotel room for more sexy-fun-time.
I got pounced, and Sir and I had some wickedly primal sex. He was in, as they say, “a mood.” There was some pretty ferocious biting,
clawing, howling, snarling, and growling from both of us; my brain just
exploded – flooded w/ stimuli, I couldn’t tell whether I was horny, frightened,
raging, exhausted, or super-energized… and there were blood stains on the bed
sheets before we were done. (I actually
don’t remember how we finished; I think I actually just passed-out at some
point.) It was really, really good
sex. We woke-up still horny in the wee
hours of the morning and somehow managed to have sex again, w/ less snarling
and barking, w/o waking our roommates.
I left shortly after Sunday breakfast. I’ve decided that I would like to do Dragon
again in the future. Probably not next
year – maybe every-other year – but only for a day! The whole 4-day Dragon weekend is just way,
way too much for me these days. 2 nights
and 1 day was plenty. I drove home
Sunday and collapsed, physically and emotionally exhausted. Fortunately there’s nothing on the calendar
next weekend b/c I’m going to stay home and do nothing! :)
