... you are at a play where a guy playing a scottsman is suppose to get such a heavy accent that you should not be able  understand him, however you CAN understand him perfectly.  Then you realize how you learned to understand them.....

...the first thing you worry about when told your job is ending in two weeks is "Can I still make faire every weekend like I have planned??"

(The answer, thankfully, is yes. I've already bought my season pass and already saved for it...I need my escape even more now that jobfail has happened!!)

Dang!  That sucks...or blows...(or whatever the youngsters are saying these days  ) Hope you get that resolved soon. I sure am seeing a lot of that on this board.

No... It sounded like someone with good taste in music. I was extremely confused to get onto the website of my favorite band, a little prog metal band by the name of Iron Maiden, to find out that the album they put out 2 weeks ago charted at #4 on the Billboard chart! 30 years into their history and they have their highest US debut ever! That means that lots of people listen to them now... It almost makes me want to STOP listening to them! I'm not a Top 40 kind of person because mainstream bands suck!

Your 11 year old daughter is coming up with better garb ideas for the baby girl that isn't born yet, then you are.

~ you're at a resturant and your sister tells you to watch your knife, and you first look at your cleavage to make sure that your bodice dager is in place only to find that you're wearring street clothes and not garb. Then have to explain why you did so. True story, it happened yesterday at IHOP. Afterward I thanked my sister because I had a reason to add to this forum!!!

On a related note... you're at a restaurant, need a sharp knife, and reach for your sock... only to realize that you're not in garb and have no knife in your sgain dubh is still in your glove box! You then proceed to go out to your car, stick your sgain in your sock, go back into the restaurant and use your sgain, instead of asking staff for a mundane knife. (I've done this at both dinner and weddings! Used my sgain to open a Hershey's bar once just so it would get some use!)

You are asked at a wedding to assist in lacing up the bride in her corset-

Cause you are the only one she knows who can do that "right"


actually happened

This happens to me all of the time!  (But I'm pretty sure it stems from my extensive history working in the bridal industry and not from my corset wearing at Faire...)

...In my office at work this morning, I took down my Dali's, and replaced them with prints, one of Merlin and one of a dragon being chastised by a lovely woman, LA Williams creations I picked up at Scarby, just because it gives me better vibes.

Ahh...another LA Williams fan. I have several of her prints that I have picked up at a local sci-fi convention.

If Christmas & Faire compete for which one is more important for your money...




*Faire wins. Xmas is my "wind down" from faire season...or does faire kick off my holiday season?  Hmmm... need to ponder that*
