Ren Faires are awesome.

Sweet stuffz, ma Seabass

Here, we have a local Shakespeare festival.

Here in England we have no need of temporary historical faires, if we want a taste of history we just pop along to our nearest castle, available in all good towns.

Anyway, to quote Howard Wolowitz from the big bang theory "Renaissance fairs aren't about historical accuracy. They're about taking chubby girls who work at Kinkos and lacing them up in corsets so tight their bosom jumps out and says "howdy""

Hahaha, that's a very fair(e) description.

The one thing I miss about Germany and Europe is the history. We used to live in house that was basically built on top of a blacksmith. When we moved over here, our neighbors told us that we also lived in a very old house: it was build in the 80s!

I lived in a house built in the 1890's, it was remodeled by the next owners in the 1990's...

Now its block is surrounded by gang-bangers. =(

My last Ren Faire I did not dress up, next time I might though.
