Camping trip to RenFest with Mahadri, Folf, Ashtaaaaaar. Ver. nice weekend, mid-sized furry gathering (25 people, neat!)
new (?) french mime act called Arseau, I think? His schtick is grumpy, condescending, sneer. Really well-done act. Kind of wish I'd gotten his DVD.
Ocean (?), some sort of cat-furry, wore an imprompteau "puss-n-boots" costume, and couldn't go 10 feet without someone taking her photo. She started to get grumpy after a while, but...it definatley added to the event :)
Barbarain struck up a conversation with someone about 20 feet from me at one of the shows, standing in profile. He was wearing a scrap of leather *maybe* twice the width of a dollar bill, but he could pull it off. *snickers*
Good faire, I didn't get to go last year so it was really nice to be back! I MUST get a better costume next year ... I was only one vest away (well, shoes would be good, too) from finishing a Dr Who costume. Maybe next year.

according to his website when he's not touring he's settled in austin with regular magic shows.

they did have a live chess show in the '80s and early '90s, in Sherwood with the fantasy and robin hood characters; Scarby's lasted a little longer.
ditto on the Flaming Idiots.
as for arsene, slight variation both in show and from audience (like, two yrs ago he had only the violinist, not the other two, and not the hamster) and he's always working on new stuff, but when you have a carefully timed show you can do w/out thinking, y'know...
