OK, so Smurfette & I have been going to the MN Renaissance Festival for the last 5 years or so... Sadly, we missed out going at the last minute because Smurfette got sick, but que sera, sera...
This year, however; I was pretty sure that we wouldn't be able to go at all because of the recent-ish move to the new apartment & the fallout that came from it... You see, Comcast double - billed us for last month & threw our bank account into turmoil... Happily though, I have a contact who's been able to secure us with a pair of tickets (which would have been the bulk of any money we'd have had at all after paying bills on Friday, let alone having anything at all to actually use while we were there)!
...while another friend was kind enough to complete a shirt & pants for my costume (after doing the same for Smurfette a few years ago!)...
I say, I'm feeling pretty lucky, all things considered... ;)
More to be posted in a few days after RenFest... :-)
Congrats on your new place.

Thank you for the offer of assistance Mark, though I fear that the damage is done... I managed to avoid late fees to the bank account, but have had to scramble to pay other bills with less money than had originally been planned (the Comacast bill is obviously ok, but unlike I was told; the only way to get them to reverse the payment (ie: give my money back) was to *FAX* someone in their claims department... which I have no interest in doing (I mean, who the hell uses a FAX machine anymore?).
DeleteThings have smoothed out, though money's still tight due to paying Comcast *much more* than planned... *Sigh*
But, que sera, sera!
