Looks like I'm at 12 entries. Is anyone doing the Renaissance Festival comp that same weekend? Who's brilliant idea was that? Usually they're a month apart.

If any BNers are there for the awards, let's meet up. I was at the judging, and my cat. 23 scored 38 and didn't place, getting kicked in the mini best of show.
