One of the items in yesterday's mail was Minstrosity's latest CD with the above title. Just looking at the cover and credits is amusing. I'll just say that the list of instruments played by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
wendyzski is certainly complete.
Oh, the recordings on the CD are worth the price, too.
This is not a good year for the Iowa faires.
One in western Iowa in October is no more as the organizer(s) decided it was too much work for not enough (if any) payback.
The Des Moines faire changed sites just days before it happened. The original site was underwater.
Waterloo faire was cancelled for this year due to site, and other, problems. The site was underwater, and the weekend it is held has many events (of which it was once part) that use up the alternate venues in the area.
Now another faire, ARA in Osceola has cancelled for this year. The site is above water, but evidently suddenly drowning in red tape that was never a problem before.
Hotel reservations for Jay and I for ARA were made in just the last day or two. Those can now be cancelled as well.
The one bit of good news in all this is that now without ARA, I have nothing keeping me from attending the King's Island faire in Minnesota on the weekend that Minstrosity will be there. (Hrm, maybe Lindey's is a possibility.) At least nothing in my own schedule will muck things up. Hopefully by then (a week and a half from now) Hwy 169 will again be navigable. There was enough rain, fast enough, recently that part of it just north of Mankato is closed due to mudslides.
