There's a big kerfuffle going on in the local Ren-faire community. Somebody is apparently trying to do their own Ren-faire "because the magic is gone" and they want a bunch of performers and "hecklers" to perform for just tips, on Pride weekend. Lots of kind, seasoned pros tried to give helpful advice, and were blown off pretty firmly every time. It was a Trainwreck of epic proportions.
