Activities outside the Faire grounds?

Thank You, Milady!

Thanks for the un-needed visual... 

The large drum circle is alright but I like the smaller, more intimate circles, with a few drummers, a few spinners, and one or two girls dancing and everyone just soaking in the ambiance and being together you know.

I don't drive 4.5 hours to set up camp and then drive another hour to go 'do something.' There is plenty around camp, plenty of people to meet, friends to catch up with, and time to be spent with family.

But, is there WiFi?   

[bellevivre]

yes, it's called shouting! information practically FLIES through the air, neatly aimed at your head! lol

(seriously, 6 jolly ranchers and I'm an utter dork- apologies!)


theoretically, with the cell networks offering WiFi now, you should be able to connect as long as you have cell reception... last year, we had a guy on his iPhone looking up a particular website my hubby was featured on...

[Breandan]

define irony: a bunch of people driving for hours to camp out, and then dress in medieval/renaissance clothing to attend a renaissance festival to celebrate the past, all while looking up things on laptops and BlackBerries.

What are they putting in Jolly Ranchers now?

Now ya'll just remember I'm no where near 100% rennie. So unless there are strippers or LEO there (I do run the full spectrum don't I?) I'll just be the guy in the bushes with binoculars. So maybe da women better find something for me.

One weekend at TRF camping and you WILL be 100%

Actually, hubby says I just became a 'real' rennie as I have decided that we DO need to go to TRF opening weekend even though it will be hotter'n blazes (and I dont do heat well!)

[Laird Fraser of Lovatt]

Huzzah!

MUAHAHAH!!!!

Yeah, but seriously- I'm gonna need to PACK myself in ice... i swear, i AM crazy... but... dangnubbit, i NEED A FIX!!! I melt in 80+, so this should be interesting...


yes, I iz addicted to faire.

[Seamus Ex Machina]

We don't just hang around the campgrounds honey. We socialize! You go from camp to camp saying hello and meeting new people, and then drink a LOT of beer. We make any runs to Walmart that need to be made, mostly because someone has forgotten something important. There's usually a run for some sort of fast food, and sometimes there are beer and rum runs. When the sun goes down, everyone settles in for dinner, and the pre-faire parties. About 9ish, drum circle starts.

There's plenty to do, and no time to do it in! Trust me, it's a whole culture that needs to be appreciated and absorbed.

Oh, and last year, we flashed a news helicopter that was circling overhead...

So my hands will not be idle, and I will not be creating a Devil's workshop....?

[bellevivre]

of course your hands will not be idle! you'll have loki in one and narrating a story with the other! (wild gesticulating, dontcha know?)

[Seamus Ex Machina]

"Wildly gesticulating....." 

Sounds naughty.....
