I had a great time this weekend. Two shows, the performances went well, and Sunday, I even had the chance to jam with Cedric of the Bedlam Bards again. The shows were a blast, but it was spending time with my new girlfriend that really made the weekend a joy.

Now I'm in the final week of packing. Tomorrow, the movers pick up the BIG stuff. Then it's just organizing the rest of my junk enough so I can make it for a fun, relaxing weekend at the Texas Renaissance Festival. I'm gonna be there on Saturday. Gonna bring my autoharp. So catch me in the lanes and request a song, or check my twitter to find out where I'm jamming.
