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

[Matty Pine Brownie]

I use the PM feature or (what a retro thought, lol) chat room in order to iron out and research who is taking me the last few miles from a Greyhound/Amtrak station in order to make a faire invasion happen.

[Ginette]

Your daughter asks you every day when her garb, that your sewing for her, will be done so she can wear it. 

[Once Debauched]

You're willing to pay the shipping costs from Scotland on an item you can't find anywhere else simply because he NEEDS it for his kilt!

[cowgrrl]

Keeping the fact that your DDs favorite Fairy (Twig) is going to be at CRF (which we're visiting) is worse than not telling her what she's getting for her birthday or Christmas.

[DonaCatalina]

...your friend asks you about a copy of a Renaissance portrait in an antique store....and not only do you know the subject's name....you know someone at Faire who made that garb. 

[Tim T]

...your eight year old son is kicked back on the sofa playing the Playstation quietly singing "All For Me Grog" to himself.

That's my boy!

[Kiss-me-Kate]

You tell the said eight year old that some songs, such as:

"All for me Grog" or "The Moose song" or "Wild Rover"

can't be sung anywhere but at Fest, in the car, or at home. 

I had to tell my sweetie that she can't sing certain songs at school/friend's/Grandma's houses. 

She is twelve now and still doesn't "get" most of the double entendres.  However, she does understand the meaning of context now.

Even while MIA from faire for a year, you STILL find more people to drag through the gates next time you do go!

Have accumulated enough garb to clothe them all!

And have already talked the guy you started dating while MIA, who's never been to faire in his life, not only into going in garb... but he's already planning it out! tee hee

You're proud when friends go to faire for the first time.

[Valiss]

... you start to crave a giant turkey leg for lunch.

With my son it's usually Health to the Company...


You know you're a true Rennie when you're out of work sick for two weeks and, upon your return, your coworkers ask you what Faire you were doing!!!

[PurpleDragon]

.. your 12 year old daughter knows all the lyrics to EVERY Wild & Thorny song, and can't wait for Faire again so she can sing along with Iris and Rose.

[nliedel]

You can give lessons on how to pee in a porta potty while wearing a farthingale.

[PurpleDragon]

..you're a male and you know what a "Farthingale" actually is.

..You know the differance between a Victorian and an Edwardian corset.

..You're watching a movie and note that while the swords look good with the costumes, they are wrong for the era being protrayed.

[Valiss]

...when someone yells "pour me another ale" and it's 10am.
