I seem to be going to rather a lot of festivals these past few weeks...well, two festivals.

The Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland was very fun - our English class drove up Friday morning and arrived at our host university in the late afternoon, where we still had to walk for 20 minutes to find food. The food that we did find was good, though. On Saturday we saw a really good production of Coriolanus, and on Sunday we saw a really awesome production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, which is refreshing because I highly dislike that play in general.

Cherry Blossom Festival this weekend was also a ton of fun - my Zelda cosplay won third place in the cosplay contest, so I got to ride on the cosplay float in the parade () and also got a nice haul of free stuff. I went with my friends from *Lunarloopcosplay and we had fun wandering around in Japantown in cosplay, getting stared at and taken pictures of Speaking of , I'd like to point you there to see some cosplay photos, some of which are mine which I have not yet posted in this account. Go check them out!

The downside of wandering outside for nine or ten hours in cosplay is that I simultaneously froze my butt of AND got quite an awful (but interestingly shaped ) sunburn. I'm sore now from that armor, but I'll still keep wearing it to conventions because I just love pain.
