Renaissance Faire

bashfull said:
Okay, I admit I went to a Renaissance Faire (probably spelled wrong) this weekend. What is intriguing, however, is that I overheard several people mention "Lit", "the Lit boards", and "The Playground". Just curious, anyone else attend?

Ahhhh!!!!! Let me tell you something about Ren faire. It is the most amazing passtime ever thought of. I have been going to faire for 5 years now (Bristol, in s. wisconsin) and i absolutely love it. You have no idea the things that go on there once you start getting to know people. All it is is a giant role play, and it gets very sexual, thus being perfect for lit patrons. How sexy is it to create a person out of the mid ages and pretend to be them for the whole summer (which is, by the way, what i do)??? And the clothes!!!! Its best to make your own costume cuz theyre more impressive and cheaper, but anything works! Sorry to ramble but i cant believe to hear of ren faire on lit! i always thought they were the perfect combination!

Well, this thread is dying entirely too quickly. Must be closet fairers. And, yes, the pun was intended!

Ooops, Red. Guess I need to check this occassionally myself. I certainly agree with you about the combination. That's also why I suggested a symbol or secret logo to identify each at Faire. Even if just a nod to each, how enticing to wonder who that person is. Also, there may perchance a brief meeting, a fleeting smile, a knowing glance, a simple touch...sounds romantic to me. (crass plug: Romance vs. Raunch thread)
 
Well, I just found it :)

I am a SCAdian (that's someone in the SCA)

It's been awhile since I have gotten to go to an event, but am going to one next month. Can't wait. I love my garb :) Especially the outfit I got for my birthday. The overskirt is blue with a matching bodice that lifts and pushes my braless breasts out of the chemise :)

Seriously though, it is so much fun.

I'll look forward to it!

Too bad you don't live closer. You could come to the next event and I would wear an L on my garb so you would know who I was. Then you could admire me from afar :)

Here in the Land of Lit?

Blessed Be!

I am a Scadian, Kingdom of Caid, Baronyy of Naevehjem.

And I alos attend the Southern California Ren Pleasure Faire, every spring when it opens.
I make my own garb...I have even posted a picture of garb at True Confessions. Oh there is nothing like strolling aobut Ren Faire decked out in one's garb and enjoying the day!
Last year our ship's crew went en masse to the Faire, oh it was a grand day. I heard bagpipes for the first time!

Our Barony is having it's anniversary on November 9, 2002, it is called Frostdragon. This year I will be making it to the Feast!

Well, I'm still trying to map my way here. So far I've figured out I would be present in the Midlands. Still mapping.

My wife and I have posted pics of garb from Bristol, and I could post one from Michigan.

Where are the pictures posted at?
 
Ren Faire

I know of at least ten people from Lit who attend Faire, somewhere in the US...there be a fair assortment of wenches, rogues, Ladies and Lords, scattered about this land.

On another faire thread that died before this one came about. Let me see if I can still find the links to the photos. No sense having two faire threads about when this one is just fine!

Wise choice.

When you mentioned 'mapping', what did you mean, it was in an earlier post.
 
Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

Let it be known far and wide that

THE FAIRE IS ON!

**I'm certain I said that all wrong but I am brand spankin' new*

Still trying to figure out which chapter of SCA we might join. Trying to follow the Seneschallorum to the right area.
