I love htis one..I am guilty of just about all of the above.

are willing to sleep in the back of the van in order to make a faire when you can not afford a hotel.

go to and stay at faire when it is thundering and raining..hard!

when you lay on the computer for hours looking at all the renfaires across america, wishing and dreaming you can go to each one.

when you spend your free time reading and learning all you can about the period.

when you make ALL your plans revolve around the faire. canceling some very important ones just to make sure you have enough money to make faire.

when you have a family faire night during the winter...small beer for the kids, candles only, trenchers, ren music..just to get a small fix.

ahh..does not the list go on and on? LF

I did this for many years with my belly dancing sword. It's a real sword, has a nice point on it, and will probably break at the hilt if used for a real sword purpose.

....If you can't sleep at night because you are still wondering about what garb would look just perfect with your newly made Leather headpieces

...if you know the importance of the phrase " The beer is in the pickup truck."

...you spent all your spare time during the week (between weekends @ Scarby) uploading all the pictures taken during the previous weekend, reading/posting on this forum, and looking at all the other photo sites to see if you or anyone you know is in them!

...you're planning on going to at least 3 more faires before Thanksgiving...O.K., actually it's more like 5 more faires, but who's counting  ;)

...when you wear your bodice scars as proudly as battle scars...

...when you justify quitting your job to yourself by seeing that the severance pay gives you a cushion for more fabric and much more time to sew in...

...when you wince at the fresh cuts on your waist line but still smile and say that this past Faire was one of the best yet...

...when your 70 year old father sees how much fun you're having and orders hundreds of dollars worth of matching kilt and accessories as you; right down to the swords he just bought!

And that's after asking why the hell would you wear such a thing, swearing he'd never, and after thinking I'm a damned fool, order from my seamstress the exact family plaid and gear to match ME! LOL!!!

...when you take photos of faire food so you can make it for yourself during the off-season.

...when you install a tiny dunke chair in your bathtub and play recordings you made at faire of the sheriff saying "Dunke dunke dunke" and then dunke yourself.

...when you buy mannequins and dress them in your garb at home around the house and pretend you are still at faire.

When in the middle of a Rennie rainstorm, the top priority is keeping the beer un-diluted...

When it's perfectly normal to experience 2 full moons in the middle of the afternoon...

When co-workers stop by your desk just to see pics of faire and ask when the next scheduled trip is...

You debate getting your car inspected and the oil changed so you can buy a new corset. But you then remember that you need the oil change to get to the new Central Texas Renaissance Faire in Camelot Village even if you have to go without new garb.
