Despite the blistering sun, the Vermont Renaissance Festival last weekend was exceptionally enjoyable and full of fun.

I performed my stage show a total of 6 times and blew an untold number of fireballs, much to the delight of the crowd. I met an enormous number of wonderful people and had great conversation. Though it was a tough weekend physically, what with the camping, shower situation, sun and the demands of getting out of a straight jacket and 80 feet of heavy gauge chain no less than six times (not to mention just lugging it around!), it was more than rewarding and I would welcome the opportunity to repeat the experience. In fact, I am! I will again be performing there this coming weekend, July 10 & 11, and I urge you all to come out and enjoy the festivities.

I saw a large number of people in the crowds with digital, 35mm and video cameras and I know that lots of pictures were snapped of me. I would absolutely love to take a look at some of them, so if any of you have pictures that you could share I’d love to have them! I can be reached at roderick@roderickrussell.com

In addition, the VT Ren Fest is holding a photo contest! Send those pictures into the Festival and win prizes as well as see your photos in their marketing next year! Check it out at http://www.vtrenfest.com/contests.htm

And feel free to sign the guestbook. I always love to hear from you!
