High five!) so furiously that the crowds of people outdoors, even ones with rain gear, VANISH, then that ain't no shower.

> The rain I was stuck in was like that. I cared for about 0.2 seconds before I figured out that practically all the rides are INSIDE anyway, so I could be dry, and that even if I GOT wet, who cares? I was at EPCOT, man! :) So I ventured out undeterred by the rain, while skillions stayed behind huddling in the stores AT THE FRONT of the park. Oh, poor them, to get wet. More for me! :)

Last RenFaire we went to, we sat through an hour-long outdoor production of "The Taming of the Shrew" during an hour-long downpour. Luckily, one of the cast memebers had an umbrella as a prop. It was rather funny watching all the other actors try to get under her umbrella.

In one scene, the actress with the umbrella was supposed to leave the stage, but the others who were on the stage cajoled her into staying.
