After welcoming in spring at the events the night before, the second day of Beltane festivities was just as fabulous as the first! There was picnicking in the Glen, flower picking throughout the city and countryside, storytellers, musicians, and so much more! The evenings events were grand in and of themselves and it didn’t seem that there were many in the city that missed out in joining in! Even yours truly spent some time at the great affair!

Amber was seen manning one of the many games in which proceeds went to charity! Many of the city’s finest tried their hand at striking the mallet to see just how strong they were! We’re adamant that Amber is one of the GREATEST quiet beauties in this city. Love, love, love that girl!

We spent time in the seat of honor on the dunking booth and there was no short supply of people wanting to drop us into the watery depths below! Thankfully, Taneth was NOT one of these! She was there but was only interested in giving us a biiiiig hug. That girl gives GREEEEAAAT hugs by the way! We had her attention until she spotted Brian wandering through and was instantly excited to see him. We suppose we can’t fault her for that. Brian is one lovely piece of man meat even if he did need Jenai to kiss his ball for luck in order to dunk us!

May Queen Trinala also gave us a hug but couldn’t miss out on dunking us as well! No hard feelings, though. She made sure we had a towel at the end of the night and we even had a very fun discussion over pancakes later in the evening! She definitely made one heck of a May Queen! Her Green Man wasn’t in tow Saturday night but her boyfriend, Silas, was! This seems to be a relatively new relationship but he does make the May Queen quuuuuite happy!

There’s been quite a few rumors about the state of last year’s May Queen Amthy’s relationship with last year’s Green Man Hawk. He’s been seen spending a good deal of time with Therapist Chryrie lately. However, Amthy and Hawk seemed quite close as they wandered through the streets of the market Saturday night enjoying the Beltane festivities! These two are definitely an interesting pair and if they are indeed still together we’re dying to know why Hawk hasn’t popped the question yet! We were so expecting a Beltane wedding from the pair!

Amthy was thrilled to be there with Hawk but even more thrilled to run into her dear friend, Crazy Train Tara! We hear that Crazy Train Tara wanted to corner us for some reason or another. We shudder to think! Unfortunately (or fortunately?) we were stuck in the dunking tank weeeeell into the evening and if there is one thing that Crazy Train Tara doesn’t have, it’s patience! Another time, another time.

It seems that Luscious Lydia and Cute Single Dad Bane are not, in fact, attached at the hip as we were beginning to suspect! The Luscious Lydia half of Lydibane was seen joking with DoD-er Rena and friends while they watched people test their strength! In fact, we haven’t seen Lydibane together in a while. We wonder if everything is still hunky dandy on that front!

PAARTY Girl Chase was super eager to send us for a swim and, after a couple tries (with all the alcohol that was probably in her system, we’re still wondering just how many targets she saw), she was successful! She let out quite the whoop of celebration. Nice to know we can make people happy! Psycho Skiddie and Bree weren’t too far behind her in the line. Although, Psycho Skid took much delight in sending us for a dip, Bree agreed to not dunk us in exchange for a cool nickname. We’ve decided on Banana Rama Bree because, well, she’s bananas but in a funky, fun sort of way! Banana Rama Bree it is!

The Gov MAN-tastic Matt was seen wandering through the crowds and socializing with his people! He, of course, had the lovely DoD-er FLAWLESS Koy on his arm who looked stunning in a green silk dress. The pair seemed quite lovey dovey as usual! They were even spied dancing and, surprisingly enough, MAN-tastic Matt is an awfully good dancer!

Twin Spice and Awesome Alain were both in the general vicinity and he was caught stealing a kiss after Twin Spice was done overseeing us serving out our sentence in the dunking tank. Yet, we hear that she also stole a couple furtive glances towards Tiny Tucker who was serving drinks nearby while Awesome Alain had a wandering eye as well. We’re still not quite sure what to think about all this! We do know that we’re slightly worried that we haven’t seen Tiny Tucker and Doc Eva together in some time!

We actually heard S’jira laugh out loud! And, we have to admit, we feel a bit of pride for being the cause of her laughter! Shockingly enough, S’jira has a bit of spitfire to her and was one of the last to line up to dunk us. She seemed quite pleased with herself to drop us and even though we were cold and wet we certainly can’t fault her. She’s absolutely adorable! Interestingly enough, the final thrower is S’jira’s complete opposite in the class department — TRASH-tastic Jade! We have to admit the night wouldn’t have been complete without being dunked by the TRASH-tastic One. She was demanding a new nickname but we will never budge!

After we had fully served out our sentence, we had the pleasure of making the acquaintance of the lovely Caitlin (who looked stunning in a flouncy yellow dress, by the by) and her man Aaric! It seems the pair are indeed back together and are thoroughly into one another! She was such a sweetheart and we are so pleased that things are turning out well for this couple. They certainly seem to deserve it!

The former Gov Krazy Kitty took over as the dunking booth’s victim once we were shown some mercy! We hear that she was definitely giving the crowd a show by wearing a WHITE t-shirt and short shorts! We cannot BELIEVE we missed that. Only in RhyDin would this woman be considered governor material! We do adore her so, though!

So the spring festivities are over until next year and, while we must admit that makes us a bit sad, we are thrilled to find out what the warm months of this year have in store for this crazy city!
