Starting a Conversation - Best “Lesson Learned”?
There will be a “real” AdequateBlog post up this afternoon - possibly two - but in my dotage I left the notebook containing all the stuff I jotted down for those posts back at the Day Job last night. You can point and laugh now.
In the interim, I would love to start a conversation here - this isn’t a “read only” environment, you know - and as I get more readers from the RenFaire Web Ring and the various sources I put this thing out to, I’m wondering …
I’m sharing stuff I’ve learned about magic, performing and faires with y’all - what are some of the things you’d like to share with your fellow AdequateFans? What’s the best “lesson learned” that you have brought away from your time out on site, performing, studying magic, and so on?
Mine is still “Get there early” - I’ve said it before and I will probably say it a dozen more times before the month is out, getting to your venue well ahead of time is essential to having a clue as to what’s going on later. As Penn and Teller put it in more than one book and interview
Being early is being on time. Being on time is being late. Being late is inexcusable.
So… what’s some good advice you’d like to share? I’m not working in a vacuum here, people - let me know!

Mine is probably “be prepared for emergencies.” Growing up as a Military brat, during the Vietnam crisis, I ran into a lot of those (don’t like the war? plant a bomb in the civilian grade school where the Military kids go!). Having aunts who were in Nursing and Teaching probably helped. Turns out I’ve been carrying a medical trauma kit in my purse since…I started carrying a purse (age 9? 10?). It was a bit of a joke in HS, to the point that some of the guys got me a minature kitchen sink & made it into a key-chain fob, since I had everything else in my purse.
This was added to my Facebook page by Stephen Moore, author of Three Strange Knights Saga over here… and I think it’s worth sharing…
Stephen made a comment about your note “Starting a Conversation - Best “Lesson Learned”?”:
“My Advice…The Audience Doesn’t Care.
They don’t care if you don’t feel well.
They don’t care if you broke up with someone.
They don’t care if your Meds aren’t working.
They don’t care if you had a hard time getting up.
They don’t care if you didn’t get you coffee.
They don’t care about any stupid drama or baggage you have.
They paid to be entertained. They deserve to get what they paided for. Your name on a gate list is you word you will do just that.”
