Amana, the (upcoming) faire

Last night a reservation was made so I have a room for the Amana Colonies Renaissance Faire. I've also arranged to take a few hours off work so I can drive to Cedar Rapids in the afternoon rather than evening.

This looks to be a really fun faire. Not only is it being run by someone other than the guy who ran previous Amana faires over Labor Day weekend, Danza Mystique will be there as they have been at late summer Amana faires past. Minstrosity will be there. And as if that wasn't enough, Mistress Bawd will also be there. I'm really looking forward to this faire.

It seems to be working.

The XM receiver that was sent in under warranty a couple weeks ago has been replaced. The replacement arrived late last week when nobody was around. Earlier this I week I put it in the car and it has been working as advertised and not randomly forgetting its settings. It's nice having proper reliability. It will also be nice to have the XM set in the car next weekend for the trip to and from Cedar Rapids.
