When I get basically one weekend in Portland every couple of months, I feel like a tourist in one of the closest places I count as home. So gawd damnit I’m going to act like one.

I went to the final week of the Oregon Renaissance Fair (Multi-Universal Weekend) —with my SO and my dad, who met his friends there — as a member of SG-1.

Shows were great, I always hit the comedic ones, and even got called onstage to play a monster in Dungeons & Shakespeare, a vampire spawn, who managed to charm the two characters to help me stop the big bad and save my “family”. But we died real quick on the next roll.

I love walking around the stalls and doing the dragon scavenger hunt while looking at the amazing costumes.
