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

[Maeve McMayhem]

..you use your bra to hold receipts/other similar items because you're accustomed to this during the faire (with a bodice)...and when you get undressed at night, taking your bra off is like New Years Eve..the receipts/other similar items fly like confetti...

[Apolonia]

What Maeve said, with the addition of holding money in your bra and pulling it out to pay for that Orange Julius at the mall. (yes, I got some strange looks)

You go to your co-worker's desk to pay your water fee for the month and notice some interesting coins in the cashbox. She scoops them out and says she doesn't know what they are but they were in the tray when she took on the responsibility. As they fall into your hand with a jingling sound you think, "These would make a nice addition to my faire pouch!" (turned out to be Presidential dollar coins,  so I bought them from her at face value)

[Tipsy Gypsy]

You can't wear garb to a Halloween party anymore, because it isn't a "costume".
And you sure as heck can't buy one of those icky store-bought costumes for said party (Great, now what am I gonna do?).

You overhear a commercial for pain reliever in which the speaker recounts the source of his aches & pains, and instead of hearing "I got into cycling...", you hear, "I got into viking..."

/nearly spewed my mead!

[LadyFireKissed]

When, the day after Ren Fair, One of your Co-Workers comes up to you and goes on and on about how they didn't see you, and when you show them a picture of yourself in garb, they realise that they were literally following you around all day!  But it couldn't have been you, "you were so. . . active?" (their actual responce, they went on to say that because at work I am somewhat quiet and keep to myself, and there I was a completely different person)

As soon as the hurricane passes, you kick into camping mode and the only differance is that you are sleeping in your house and in your bed instead of a tent and camp bed with an air mattress. 

[Quiet One]

Your daughter has to clean up the electrical cords in her dorm room.  And tells you, "I need to 'peace tie' all my extension cords."

[KeeperoftheBar]

One of the first things you do after the hurricane passes is to get on this site and see if TRF was badly damaged.  It wasn't!

[Lord Dragonspyre]

On that note...

You know you're a true Rennie when half your roof blows off due to Hurricane Ike, yet you're elated that TRF had minimal damage and will open on time.

The only thing that worries you about the Hurricane that went through Ohio is if they will continue playing the chess match or not....

(they did - it was awesome!!!!)

[Adriana Rose]

You have already braced your self on what your toddler is gonna learn next year, and have gotten told what some of the Rouges are gonna teach him.

It wasn't a hurricane at that point. Probably barely a tropical storm. And if you were outside doing human chess through that, then you're a bunch of idiots.

[Lady Nicolette]

Actually, it still registered at hurricane force sustained winds, according to the news.  Category 1, but strong nonetheless.  They were wise to close the Faire early.

[CaraGreenleaf]

Aye, they did close early, wisely, but man was it fun to watch Erin attempt to sword-fight in her Queen's garb!

[Adriana Rose]

And if you were outside doing human chess through that, then you're a bunch of idiots.

Who said that Rennies were smart..... I mean come on the show must go on

Not at the risk of extreme personal injury.

Had it been me on the safety committe, I'd have had the faire shut down that day.

Safety is always a number one priority.
