Homicidalheathen Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 ..I will be there a few times. My friends parents have been working there for years....old token hippie couple that wear authentic kilts....grey hair....Joes dad? You prob know them. Shall be drinking heavy hard beer by a mud pit no doubt. Oh and I want private bj lessons from the balloon swallower. He promised.
Fierce Critter Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 Ponders...ponders... I don't know if we'll go this year. Last year, we were just honestly too freaking lazy to feel like putting on our costumes. This year, I don't know if we'll fit into our costumes. Going in non-period clothing (shorts, sandals & shirts) sounds so comfortable. But I've only been there once not in costume, and I hated how I didn't feel part of the experience, you know? All those layers.... ponders...
CatsEyeOfTheWiccan Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 I am usaly in my garb and I look like this at the Ren. Fest ever year. We, all should dress up in garb and go who want's to car pool lords and ladies. -CatsEye
freydis Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 Dont know if I'm going..... i may at least once. We used to go a lot more often when we were helping the joust....

Yeah I probably know them... sometimes I do the stage by the mudmen, I cant help ya with the balloon swallower... yer on yer own there....LOL but a promise is a promise.
Destroit Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 I may go, I used to get free tickets from my aunt because my aunt and cousin are in the belly dancing tribe that performs there, but I dunno my family kinda got in a little tiff with her family so we haven't really spoke since like March. I dunno, I may try to make it, it's always been fun every time I've went. And now I'm old enough to walk around and drink...HUZZAH!
Medea Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 I wanna put together a pirate crew and head out there! Especially for the Buccaneer weekend!
Kerrie Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 Score!! I will so be comming out to Ren Fest this year since I missed it last year. ;_; >_< I'll be in garb as well. Undecided as to which outfit though.. *ponders*
Reaper Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 I went every weekend last year except maybe 2. So I will likely be there most weekends again as I need to keep buying up my garb and gear. Its still too bad that they don't allow real swords to be tied so that you look more whole as a character.
Draco1958 Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 I am going twice with friends. Once for the highland games and again for the Irish weekend. Wouldn't mind going a third time with a group from here. And I do go in costume too.
odims_sphere Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 I haven't been in a few years, I'm definatly going to *try* to make it out there. Perhaps Phee and I can get thrown out of jail again. Ready Phee? 100 bottles of beer on the wall...
violentivy Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 hum... I used to WORK for the jail... or at least the other game that those fine folks own
freydis Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 hum... I used to WORK for the jail... or at least the other game that those fine folks own Sometimes doesnt Tommy still work for the Jail?
sass_in_the_pants Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 Is it a bad sign that when I read the topic title of Ren-Fest, the top three things I thought of were: Soup in a breadbowl, turkey legs and pickles? I mean, I know there's other stuff, too, and maybe it's the pregnancy, but really all I want is that soup in a breadbowl.

One time I went to every single dessert booth in the damn fair, trying to get the chocolate dipped cheesecake, but every single one was sold out. :

Homicidalheathen Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 Yup I asked and they know ya. We will stop by and say HI! Yeah I probably know them... sometimes I do the stage by the mudmen, I cant help ya with the balloon swallower... yer on yer own there....LOL but a promise is a promise.

You can't say you have chocolate covered cheesecake and then not have chocolate covered cheesecake. that's just not right.
savageminstrel Posted August 5, 2007 Author Posted August 5, 2007 I've been there for 10 yrs. and this year I am trying the chocolate covered cheesecake..... hahaha..
Troy Spiral (13) Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 Just as an aside i'm trying to encourage the "Fashion And Beauty" (now renamed Fashion Beauty and Costume (Historical or otherwise) forum on DGN to also include historical costume talk and such. Traditionally i think (even though it is in the descption) it was assumed such discussion was not part of that section.
DeadBurgerKing (10) Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 Funds and transportation will determine if I'll be there this year. The last time I was there I was able to walk if that gives you an idea of when the last time I was there! So, I'd love to go.
