So Festival of the West came and went. Besides the obscene heat and today's wind, it was pretty fun. For those who are curious, our Rocking RR chuck wagon won First Place in Beans on Saturday and Gravy on Sunday. Certainly can't complain about that considering we were against 10 other wagons representing some of the best outdoor cooking in the region. I will try to bring whatever leftovers I can scrounge (and that survive the next two weeks) to the next Bookmans shindig.

Meeting will be at 7:00pm Arizona time (Currently the same as PDT thanks to daylight savings)

The final episode of Battlestar Galactica aired Friday night, and whatever your feelings about the resolutions, it ended an extraordinary show that built on all that had been established by Star Trek and Firefly along with the best war films to create something altogether unique. Even Joss Whedon claimed:

Our friends the Bedlam Bards, a well known renfair and Browncoat musical duo who have frequented our neck of the woods now enough times to consider them one of our own, have just announced a new album available for purchase. It's a live show recording (which is great because a great deal of their appeal is in their live shows) from the Oklahoma Renaissance Festival. This is bound to be full of laughs and hijinks, and totally worth a purchase for anyone interested in this type of music. Be warned however that this is a bawdy show, and is not suitable for... most anyone. I have not heard the album but at the very least I know a handful of the songs. They're funny, but not for kids.
