This is the Queen of the Faire, Queen Elizabeth (Baj Burinski). Sadly, she passed on after a bout with cancer on July 17, 2002. She will be greatly missed. May her soul be at peace and always fly above the Sterling Renassiance Faire. She is and always will be greatly loved.
This is me, "Guard Nicodemus". This pic was taken when I was a guard (security) at the Sterling Renassiance Faire. Working at Sterling gave me the opportunity to interact with the actors, patrons, and other "rennies" without forgetting my offical duties. I enjoyed working there because being a Guard gave me a great feeling knowing that people could come to me for help and assistance! In the 3 seasons I have worked there, I have recieved a LOT of compliments from the actors, patrons, and Rodney, Captain of the Queen's Guards (head of Security) for my professionalism and great attitude. Rod always placed me at the ID booth where I checked ID's and had a lot of fun messing with people! Especially people who look over 40; I asked them for ID and they loved it! :-) I had a lot of fun checking ID's because I was trained by "I'm Smart", which teaches about alcohol awareness (how to spot intoxicated people, signs of intoxication, etc.) and they also taught how to check ID's for fakes! I had the pleasure of spotting a few in the seasons I worked there! At Sterling I met a lot of great people including my bud Michael Dravon, and assorted others. This coming season, I plan to put more pics up from the Faire. That's a promise!
This is me at the St. Bonaventure Renassiance Faire (also known as Nicodemus here too, could ya tell?). The St. Bonaventure Faire was a lot of fun as well because I was not only at the Faire, not keeping the Faire safe like I do at Sterling, but I was helping make the Faire happen! I was nervous; so nervous that I broke out in cold sweat, but with the assistance from the good King, and Captain Izo, I did good leading the parade with Matthew Black! The nervousness passed after we got done with the second parade! It was a GREAT time and I hope I have the opportunity to be there next season! Thanx to Stephen MacIntosh (Dennis) for this picture!
A nice shot from the St. Bonaventure Faire. Matthew Black and I were waiting for the festivities to begin (if this pic was close enough, you'd be able to tell how nervous I was by the cold sweat!) and we got to open the "gates". I was close to having a panic attack and all of the citizens of the Shire were not helping (they were all throwing berries at me!!! GRRRR!!), but all went well, and the Faire proceeded without incident.
This was after I got hit in the nose with a berry!! But.....I was cool, and took it like a good Guard! :-)
This is a picture of the entire entourage. Matthew Black was in the back with me and Captain Izo and Limerick were up front by His Majesty. And....the Page followed close with us as well! We all got a lot of attention wherever we roamed! It was fun being with His Majesty and the rest! Being at the St. Bonaventure Faire helped me smile more! 2001 was the second season there and there were a LOT of people there!! This picture (I believe) was taken on the second day of the Faire, when I was not so nervous and afraid! :-)
Thsi is another picture of me, JPShaggy and Mike the Cookie Monster! I convinced JP to come to Faire and he did on closing weekend in 2002 and he had a great time!! This was taken by another friend with JP's camera (not him if he's in the picture, duh!!) on the last Saturday of Faire. Thanx to JP for this pic!! Check out the links page for a link to his site: the JPShaggy show!!
This pic was taken by my dear online friend, Janet, who lives in the wonderous city of Toronto!! This was taken at about 3am (you can tell how tired I am, just look at my eyes!!) after a night at the opera, the Phantom of The Opera, that is!!!! I met Janet in the Park, which is (or shall I say "was") the best online chat until it closed a while ago. Through the Park I met a lot of new people, including Janet, and Nicole and Dan. If I can get pics of them, I will post them!
This is Bejer Belrad and Michael Dravon. I met these two at the Sterling Faire in 2000. Michael Dravon has taught me everything I need to know about web design and even some things I do not want to know!! :-P Bejer Belrad is a professional web designer. I don't know Bejer Belrad all that well, but hey! Maybe things will change in the future!
Me with others after Faire on Lake Ontario (the Bluffs)....watching the moon in all its splendor......Heeheeheeheehee This is after Faire! (of course it ain't a real pic, but I thought this image would be cool to put on my pic page!)
Nicodemus and Lady Donna of DragonWing. Lady Donna traveled to Faire this season and surprised me. It is always great to see her. She has a great smile.
This is me (the great Nicodemus, of course!) and Her Majesty, the Queen during my Pennsylvania Ren Faire invasion!!
This is a nice way for the Pennsylvania Faire to say goodbye to people! I had to get a shot of this!
Nicodemus, and a lovely Lady Dancer, Shehereazade, the Gypsy. She is a beautiful lady!
A shot of a KICK ASS Scottish band, Clann An Drumma! Their name means "Children of the Drum". This is Jamesie (long hair) and David (the taller one) singing a cool "brotherly love" song! David was really cool, and he called me "big guy" with his accent! I'd LOVE to get them to Sterling for Scottish weekend!!
And....who could ever forget Manolete? He's a big hit with the ladies at Sterling Faire!
This is what happens to me when I get mad when people ask me stupid questions or ask me how much I like my job!!! :-) As said in the last e-mail survey: How much do you love your job? My answer: As much as I'd love to have a heart attack, a stroke, or have my legs amputated by my worst enemy! :-)
Merry Mischief playing at Milestones in Rochester, NY, where we all went and had a great time!
Me, from a literally "different" point of view!!
Can we go home now???? Pleeezzzee?
