You Know You're a True Rennie if...

[MrHyde]

You work your work schedule around your faire schedule!

[Betty Munro]

Your friend is preparing for a Halloween party and wants help with a vampire costume.  They call you because you "have the best costumes ever."  Which turns into a half hour discussion about "costumes" for different time periods, how the corsets of the Victorian era are so different from the Faire Wench Bodices, and the collar on a vampire cloak is different from the large hooded medieval period, and you barely notice that they stopped listening about 5 minutes in.  LOL!

Ummm... I'm pretty sure that's called a lecture instead of a discussion...      


And if you're going to lecture... you should be getting PAID!!!

If after the Faire is over it takes at least two or three weeks to feel not funny wearing those funny clothes again ?

I wish I could do that! xD

Going to faire REALLY makes you want to go back in time.

[Adriana Rose]

when your 4 year old tells you he wants to play bagpipes, wants to wear his faire cloths to school, insists on listening to Celtic Legacy on the way to school, and he tells his teacher that he worked the festival.

[Merlin the Elder]

When your department knows not to plan anything that requires your participation during opening weekend of faire because they know which one you will go to.

My job is always off on weekends ;-p

[Lady Renee Buchanan]

Your friend starts telling you about her son's new job.  He works 3 twelve hour days, gets paid for 40 hours, gets full benefits, insurance, vacation, and other stuff, and has 4 full days off.

You start thinking how great that sounds, when she says, "He works every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and has the rest of the week off."

Your reaction:  Forget that, I'd never be able to go to faire - ever.

[DT_Masters]

Your family is consistently asking if you are doing ren stuff that weekend because to them, it seems like you always are.

At two, my daughter insisted on bagpipes or rockabilly.

[Tipsy Gypsy]

You think of Utilikilts as a "gateway kilt".

[Kiss-me-Kate]

It is almost two weeks after your faire ended, and you have incorporated a fest related item into your work wardrobe every day since, so you don't have to give it up quite. just. yet.   

And you blow twenty something bucks on Celtic Crossing, because it is your favorite drink at fest and sip it  out of a tiny mug (from fest) because it reminds you of fest.   

Not quite ready to let it go.  It is 44 weeks until our Fest opens again.

Most of the time when I wear a skirt or dress to work, underneath are my faire bloomers.  Nobody knows I'm wearing them, but it makes me smile, because I bet nobody else at work has pirate skull bloomers on underneath their skirts!
