Title: Day of Wrong?
Post by: Taffy Saltwater on August 12, 2008, 08:39:23 AM
Does TRF have a Day of Wrong and, if so, when is it?

Not an actual Day of Wrong, but All Hallow's Eve weekend is pretty close, if I'm not mistaken...

Day of wrong??

A day on which one could wear one's Imperial Stormtrooper getup and be just fine.  If it would be appalling otherwise, it's perfect for the DoW.

Taffy it doesn't really matter down here...they'll wear the Stormtrooper gear every weekend they're out.

yeah, that's what I was thinking... the umm, let's see, I think 4 weekends that I was down last year I saw stuff that IMHO, was more suited to DoW than just whatever random day at faire.

Seems to me as if TRF is more accepting of all sorts of oddities. Or in some cases, "idiot"ies.

Best thing ever? Storm trooper in a kilt for Highland Fling weekend.

I remember that!
Gawd how funny.

But what someone else said is right. Many days at TRF the DoW people outnumber the Rennies.

See, I kinda like the stormtrooper in a kilt.  Seems like the wearer has a good sense of humor.

Someone told me (I think it was year before last) that the stromtroopers were officers.
Not sure but thats what I was told.

You're not kidding ... and I also saw a guy in a head-to-toe gorilla suit last year (and it wasn't on All Hallows Weekend).   ::)

They are not.  There are police officers in full uniform around the site.  They are not in costume.

I thought when ever crew members went on the Holodeck they did it in costume or garb that matched the timeframe/story they were visiting.

Not always, but when they weren't in period clothing the holodeck characters were programmed not to notice.

<-----  Wants a holodeck

I've never acutally seen anyone wearing Star Trek, Star Wars, Furries, etc.  I've only seen the occasional Victorian and lots of Goths.  Must mean I don't go to fair enough.  I should work to correct this.

Oh, Great Warrior from The North Baldr,

When you have received your new armor from DragonLord K'Zar, I must insist you come visit me across the way at the Pirate ship so we can outfit you with appropriate new weapons to suit such wonderous armor.

I know this reply is a bit late... but it reminds me of one of the funnier moments from my Thanksgiving Friday visit last year, when The Other Brothers (the first show I saw that day) cracked a joke about it.

Are there in fact faires where Stormtrooper/Star Trek/etc garb will get one turned around at the gate?

A few of the stormtroopers are cops...they're just not on duty. (Just to clarify)

I know one of the people who dress up in the stormtrooper uniforms and Lady Jessica is right, a few of them are cops in their dane lifes, they are just not on duty.

Not like you gotta worry about them...just wave slowly in front of them and state "These are not the Pirates/wenches/scotts/otherwise drunks you are looking for." Solves everything. Works better if you got a monk in a robe to do it.
