Day Nineteen at Bristol
Our booth at Bristol is immediately next door to one of the biggest pubs on the faire site—the Pig and Whistle. “The Pig” as it is affectionately called by many, is also the site of many after hours gatherings—music events, poetry readings, charity auctions, etc. I don’t venture in terribly often, because if it’s busy at all in there, it’s a very smoky place. But, because of its proximity to Pendragon Costumes, and the fact that my living space is on the second floor and reached by walking across the roof of part of our booth, I can look right down into the Pig and wave at any friends within. Tonight as I looked over the rail, I couldn’t distinguish any familiar faces in the crowd, but I was impressed with the friendly glow of the rope lights, candles and other ambiant light. The photo is a bit grainy, but it certainly captures that warm glow I saw—and where the cool green light comes from, I have no idea—but I love it!
