You're driving through the parking lot at the grocery store and don't even pause when you see the guy in the kilt....SERIOUSLY!!!

Where I live, it's rare, at best, to see a guy who is even worth imagining in garb, much less in kilt. I was driving through the grocery parking lot, looked out my passenger window and was somewhat shocked to see a gentleman in a blue plaid kilt with black leather sporran, black shirt, black leather jacket and Harley riding boots.  My only thought was, "Why is he wearing Harley boots with that....Sandlars would look much more period..."

When you take a pefectly good van and turn it into your ship ( and that way can write it off as a business expense)



When your accountant hates you, because everything you own, practically, is a business write off ( the cannons were a stretch, though)

Oh no! I thought I was just the friend of a bunch of Rennies, but after reading this, I realize that I fit right in.  I think it must be contageous  :D

when you are walking through Bed Bath and Beyond and, as your friend is looking at some curtains for her sitting room you think, "Oh, that'd be the perfect fabric for some Noble's garb I was thinking about..."
I don't know what you've heard, none of it is factual, but it's all true.

..You have enough garb and accessories to outfit a friend (who's quite a bit taller than you) for a trip to faire with you.  In figuring out what you need to loan your friend, you realize you don't have enough mug straps and so slap one together in about 10 minutes.  (Now, you won't ever have to worry about forgetting your own.)

I refuse to join My Space, facebook, renspace or any of those, because I don't *want* to spend time on other sites beside this one.

your music player of choice (itunes, windows media player, etc) is filled with 90% renaissance/Celtic music, and the other 10% is related to the renaissance somehow (flogging molly...)

"When you take out your other pair of faire boots to wear to work (2 1/2 months after closing gate), and they are covered in Bristol dust, but you don't clean them off before wearing them, because, hey, the dust comes from FAIRE."

SISTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep, I finally got around to unpacking my basket from Stronghold, was putting away the pouches, belts, etc. and couldn't bear to completely wipe all the dust from the sides of my pouch. 

It's Faire-e-dust  ::)

My boots still have Stronghold mud on the toes...
