This Saturday is supposed to be far more reasonable by only getting into the mid-80s. I might have to see if I can find my parasol to shade from the sun and have my portable fan charged up but I might have to do this cool-as-hell sounding local event just several blocks down the street. I mean check out that picture from the last one! Check out the promo details:
What is ROT FEST? It's Ren Fair and Wasteland and Comic Con and The Highland Games. It's sword-fighting and fire-spitting, It's winning an award for the most extravagant beard or for throwing a truck tire farther than anyone else. It's author readings and live music. Collectibles, antiques, vintage clothing, and trading cards. It's cosplay. It's taxidermy and outsider art. Pre-war motorcycles and hot rods. It's blacksmithing and glass blowing. It's raconteurs and roustabouts. Rotgut and goblin pulp. It's Neil Gaiman and Dr. Who, Hellboy and Spirited Away. It's Mad Max. It's Diagon Alley meets Burning Man. It's books, books, and more books.
Why just R.O.T., when you can R.O.T. (&) FEST(er).
Hell, I'd be in it for glass blowing alone. I'm a glass loving nut
