(More pictures coming soon.) John and I returned from Oregon last night. It was refreshing to see so many people I have missed this past year, to revel in the general mayhem of Reed and Renn Fayre, and to smell the crisp mildewy Portland air whilst adoring unbelievably green foliage. In order to ensure this […]

Yearly Archives: 2005I won’t be posting for the next few days as I will be in Portland, OR for Renn Fayre. This will be my first time back since I graduated and I am greatly looking forward to seeing people. I ran Renn Fayre with Mike and Tamara last year and I really wish Tamara could make […] show 3 comments I just wanted to say that I still think this is a really beautiful photograph of you and your Renn Fayre co-conspirators. Black and white rules! Thanks. I believe that Ben Dupree, one of the Quest (Reed’s newspaper) editors took that of us. It was in the Renn Fayre issue of the Quest that he helped put together. I thought it was a great one too. I love the heavy contrast. Gemma, I totally agree with Evan, the photo is really lovely and sweet. After the Grumpy Troll Brew Pub we drove about 20 minutes to the New Glarus Brewing Co. In my opinion this is the best brewery in Wisconsin (and it seems the only one open for tours on the sabbath). While once you could buy New Glarus in Illinois (and I imagine the surrounding states) they […] show 12 comments Yes, I was definitely pleased to be full of beer and cheese and mustard and not left for dead somewhere. Yes, I was definitely pleased to be full of beer and cheese and mustard and not left for dead somewhere. How fun to read about your trip to New Glarus. I’ve been dying to go there ever since I tried their raspberry beer a couple of years ago. How fun to read about your trip to New Glarus.

However, in the interim I would like to announce the addition of a Photo Gallery which includes all of the photos of food that can be found throughout the site as well as a few others. Ideally, I would like to eventually […] no comments After our stop at The Mustard Museum in Mt. Horeb we went right up the block to the Grumpy Troll Brew Pub. Located in a neat old building, the interior is modern and family/meal oriented. There is a nice wrap around bar a bit away from the seating, however no smoking. The staff was super […] show 2 comments Gemma! I showed off your beautiful pictures to the folks in my lab and (as they should be) they are very jealous that i get to live with you! The site looks gorgeous. Keep up the fantastic work. Aw, thanks Molly. You’re sweet. |

Evan Petrie - Hey Gemma, it sounds like Renn Fayre was a really good time. I am glad that you were able to go back for it and that you had a good time. I wish I could have joined you, but I suppose that I can at least enjoy the idea of Renn Fayre that I have in my head that is just crazy and awesome.
I just found out that I was accepted for both of the media head positions that I applied for in the coming year. This means that I will be in charge of both the Grinnell Review (our literary and art magazine) and the Cyclone (our photo/yearbook). I am super excited about both. Although I think I am going to have to take three classes instead of four in order to keep up with things. Also, the student cookbook that I have been working on this semester is going to be printed this coming weekend! I will hold onto a copy for you if you would like.
Take care!
Lots of love,
Evan
gemma - Hi Evan,
Renn Fayre was fun. I wish you could have been there. Maybe next year if I go, but I bet your finals will conflict again. .
Congratulations on your positions! That is fantastic. I know you will do a great job with them. I think it might be very wise to tone down your class load though.
I would very much love a copy of the cookbook. Thanks Evan!
I can’t wait to see you. All my love!
tamara - hey gemma,

nancy - Now I know everything. I’m glad you were able to go and enjoy Renn Faire again.
Should I be concerned about anything??
Love, mom
gemma - Hi Tamara, I’m glad you saw the post. Here are a few more pictures I put up on a different site, but that I thought would be too off-topic for this one: http://www.probonobaker.typepad.com/gemma/
Oh! I would love to visit, I don’t know where they money would come from though. It would be so nice to see you though. . .
Hi Mom, no need to worry, I was one of the more responsible ones there if you can believe it.
