That sounds like a good perk! Something I just read today ( from our local ren. faire website): "For a thousand years, the making of ale had been women’s domain. Every village had its brewster, every cottage its small-batched fermentation. The work was unglamorous but vital—turning spoiled gra...

Free is always good! Getting paid for gas money and perhaps to pay for a meal while being a part of group all enjoying the same thing is it's own reward. --------- Yeah! Also having my own money makes my life at the Faire easier xD !! Or it'll give me the money enough to get like something like a H...

cool! Do you get to travel around to different cities that host the faire's? Is it a volunteer or paid job? Sounds like yo have to pay an entrance fee anyway? ------------ No, I don't. I kind of wish I could but a lot of them are too far away for me to travel, the one I work at is in my hometown, l...

Here's To Hoping

I think the invention of elastic would have been a game changer for the legging/sock situation. 100% cotton socks or even silk without elastic would have been a hassle for me. --------- Yeah, it probably would. - Oh? yeah, I don't think we use silk.. But we did get a New Costumer this year. So it s...

Renascence faire always seemed like it would be fun to be able to be part of, and not just being the spectator. Why is it they seem to choose the hottest month to host the faire? The amount of layers & binding , restrictive clothing the women had to wear back then is insane .. I think the "...

By "pants" you mean more like shorts (some above the knee and some just below) and long socks covering the rest of the legs, right? Oh, a shirt AND a jacket! I think the queen has it the worst. At our local one, the queen would periodically walk through. In between I bet she gets out of w...

So much velour (heavy felt), long sleeves and long dresses. Leggings? Oh, and have to have a least a few layers! Ahghh.. heat! Heat stroke is no joke! (Did that rhyme?!) Glad the princess made it OK! No worries, glad to hear you're on it! ----------- I only saw one person wear Velour and that was a...

Sounds like fun! Our local Renaissance event happens when it's the hottest time of the year. The clothes from that time period are not conducive for staying cool! :distress: I admire the dedication... ----------- Yeah, I understand that. there is about 3 Ren Faires in my State.. One happens between...

Growing things you want to grow must be satisfying. Maintenance is not fun if it takes too long. Ooo, a new job? ---------- Well sort of but like helping my dad cut grass, it is a Seasonal Job. Soon, I will be working at My Local Renaissance Faire. Or at least, I hope I will be ^_^ !! I need to che...

Do you do summer activities? Our weather has been so beautiful I have been trying to expand my garden. --------- I help my dad go cut grass, sometimes. Well this year's been weird, so I haven't helped as much as I usually do ( Because I had to do other things like shower or dishes or take care of m...

Yeah, cheating makes everything lame.

I like when I think I know the answer & then there is a twist, that if you were paying clos attention might have caught, but comes as a surprise. But the ones where they have a twist ending but don't make sense or it was from something that they had not mentioned or given a possible clue to the...

That's how long it's been!! :cheer: I owe Forensics Files for making "luminol" part of my vocabulary! :) ---------- Yeah!! :smile: - I don't watch that one. I think I prefer the Fun Ones like the ones I watched, there maybe be some truth in them but I also love the action and the interest...

I watched the forensic files show...there were so many seasons! With all the forensic stuff out there you would think they'd catch more people. Fortunately for the latest tech they are finding answers for cold cases. I also like the murder mystery shows, maybe because I like to see if I can get the...
