All right, RenSpace visitors --- welcome to Missive #145 in me blog here. I'm Blackwolf the Dragonmaster, New York City's Unofficial Wizard --- and boy, have I been drenched, exhausted, and otherwise rendered weird after taking on the challenge of a long 4th of July spent at my homebase, Central Park's Bethesda Terrace, on 72nd Street and Central Park West, New York City.
As usual, I encountered a rare and delicious assortment of Mortals visiting mine adopted metropolis from everywhere in the world; and they enjoyed posing for photos with me. I have yet to go about and hunt for images of myself on Google --- but I'll deal with that inevitably. When the day almost reached its climax, I debated over whether or not I should go do Macy*s 4th of July Fireworks --- mostly because a): what else was I gonna do other than bore meself to death; and b): I really didn't wanna hafta to fix up me television set and play the game of 'human antenna'. Fortunately, ever-neurotic Mother Nature made my decision for me in the end, so I simply packed it up, returned to ye olde humble hovel, and simply called it a night!
(The NBC telecast probably sucked anyway.)
So now, here we are, a day later --- and I'm just boring meself silly until it's time for me to do the first of my two home Renaissance Faires, the New York Renaissance Faire Sterling Forest. As usual, I hope that Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth I will attempt to properly converse with this ol' Mage (Dream ye on, Master Blackwolf!); and perhaps bestow something resembling Knighthood 'pon me Wizardly person. Pray, stay ye tun'd!
Please join me, dear friends of the Renaissance Faire Community, as we salute what Philadelphians are calling "The Wedding of the (18th) Century" --- Ralph Archbold, America's #1 Ben Franklin impersonator, marrying Miss Linda Wilde, veteran Betsy Ross impersonator, live from the steps of Philadelphia's famous Independence Hall! As I said in the Press Release I issued only moments ago, "History Channel, you are wimps for not even having the good sense to join Philadelphia's media elite in terms of live coverage of these remarkable and totally unusual nuptials!"
But if you're like me, you know to stay on top this merry ceremony. So stop reading this, you sillies, and go to media.myfoxphilly.com/ if you would learn more of the story, how it all happened, and everything else you need to discover about it!
Oh yes, one more thing: Happy Birthday, America, from your Yankee Doodle Dragonmaster!
With thy magic and thou art bored, Sir Mage? Conjure up thee some merriment unto thy physicing pray thee! Thou dost dwell in New York City and thou art bored? How now, goodly, Sir; methinks thou lack’st imagination. In a mage such be odd indeed!
On this side of the continent, I have been told that New York City doth never slumber. If that be so, then why should thee? From what thou hast wrot, Mother Nature be as fickle as her Mage.
Knighthood? Perchance a clout under the circumstances.
Good Morrow My Good Wizard, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who appreciates Mike Myers. Hope Guru was a fun movie. I hope to see it soon. Till anon, safe voyages to ye.
Ah, my goodly wizard, I be kindly indeed or so unto my conceits! I just would that IK showth himself as he is like unto the river’s mist. I would not have him aground.
And as for thee, Sir Wizard, thou requireth unto thy magic arts a challenge methinks that thy witt remainth ever sharped.
The weather goddess hath smiled upon thy pate once more. Huzzah!
