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

You would sleep in your tiny Nissan Sentra for a night in August in order to get your last day in at faire.

You would take the long way home to get to faire making your travel time 6 hours rather than 4.

You take your only days off in the summer to dedicate them to faire.

You decided to make this a faire summer rather than see your fiance who lives 8 hours away during the summer.

You research songs and others things you can use at faire all year round.

Your faire clothes are way too normal to use on Halloween or any kind of costume party

Guilty! Have done this the past two years with our vacations, and so have visited MNRF, BARF, and TNRF, in addition to the local faires held on Sunday that are within a day's driving distance..

Also i've taken days off of work where I make a good living to work at faire for a much smaller amount. And I'm a college student so I'm therefore pretty poor. But what can I say I love faire

On January 1, you mark out all the days you will need off from work so you can attend faires, which leaves you with the number of days you can be sick without losing pay, and don't care if the second number is negative

You go into labor (not realizing that is what it is) at camp, opening weekend of TRF, and put off going to the hospital hoping you can still make it into the festival. Then spend your first night in the hospital trying to scheme how to get to TRF for one of the other weekends of the season.

You take you 2 week old to fair! and he sleeps through bagpipes......

thats my little boy!

though now he dances like a mad man when he hears fair music!

You purposely go out of your way at work to use the bathroom in the basement, because there is a drainpipe in the floor, and water draining into it from somewhere in the building sounds like faint notes from a hammered dulcimer, and it reminds you of faire.

Your first faire isn't for four months, yet here you are with a stack of CDs brushing up on your gaelic pronounciation and running your entire songbook just to refresh your memory. Gee, I wonder why I'm smiling today

You think anything less than waist-length hair is short - on men and women.

And one of the reasons you picked your mate is because he HAS waist-length hair and looks perfect in ren garb, and you get to make all his garb for him--and he loves wearing it, whether at faire or the grocery store!

i have to share this with you guys!

My nephew came over to play, he was running around with a boffer sword yelling about freeing my little one. I look over at my sister and ask if her hubby has been watching Braveheart, because my nephew was yelling about freeing. And bless my little nephew he puts his hands on his hips and holds the sword in the other hand gets this serious look on his face and says ' I AM NOT A BRAINFART' I just about died!

mind hes 3 so he thought he said Braveheart

Kahlan Rose · January 25, 2009, 07:17:48 PM

you turn down a job because training is during the last three seasons of faire...

...You file your taxes as "professional hairbraider"
and your spouse as "independent contractor" because "King of Fae" isn't on the list of options.

...Your kids think site is more fun "when the patrons aren't there"

...you ask your son who he played with all day and he says "some patron kid"

..your daughter comes to you in tears because some OTHER girl says SHE is the princess of faeries. When everybody knows MY daddy is the king of fae, and that makes ME the princess!

...you tell time by shows not months

...your kids know the difference between a soft show and a hard show

...I could go on all day!!!
