Met some dude at the mixer last week that works at a BSL3 lab.
He says his sister got a parasite from bad sushi before.
He told her to go to the public health lab and not the hospital because the hospital isn't going to do it right.
She doesn't listen to him and goes to the hospital.
After 1 week, they haven't identified the parasite because they took too long: it died in the sample.
So they need to re-extract.
She later goes to the public health lab, got her results in 3 business days, and got cleared of the parasite.

Guy says he doesn't recommend working for a hospital, that the way they are is because they need to please shareholders.

Crazy.
The last weekend of the Escondido Renaissance Faire is approaching so if you want to see me there before spring rolls around, this will be your last chance
May try streaming practice sessions soon, especially with my faire performances coming up in under two weeks already. Makes for good practice setting up the camera for filming, too.

Ended up on the local news playing some ocarina music outside Comic Con 😁

COMIC-CON DAY 2: The streets of the Gaslamp Quarter come alive

Just across from the Convention Center, the streets came alive. With music, fans, costumes, and long lines- waiting for fan experiences as well as food.

Had way too much fun with fellow Demon Slayer cosplayers today as Haganezuka
A couple nice photos I managed to get after the falconry show during a Renaissance faire day trip a couple weekends ago. Great looking Harris hawk
Got a few songs in the works, and soon to upload a cover of Over the Misty Mountains I worked on as part of an ocarina septet, Knights of the Round Flute. Will be putting both the audio and video into the valueverse, and hopefully will be able to use the response to get the holdouts in the group to set up LN addresses of their own so the split goes to all seven of us.
While being rained on both during my last show of the faire and camp teardown after, I had an audience who stayed despite the rain, and while I was playing Wayfaring Stranger in my set, two women were dancing to the song in the rain while one was singing along. From what I could hear of it, she had a beautiful voice, operatic even. I hope I can track down a picture from that show, because I'm rather curious how I looked playing wearing my full-circle wool cloak.
Donation box I've been using when performing got a makeover courtesy of a vendor at faire taking his laser cutter to it and me putting some teak oil on after.
It's crazy to think the local renaissance faire is already coming up this weekend. Yours truly will be performing twice each day of the faire at 12:30 and 4:30 pm, on the Forest Stage.
