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

You are at the costume store getting some accessories for your 80's costume (sadly, I already had most of what I needed) and get into a discussion with the checker: Him: "I'm going to be a pirate if I can find a good coat."  Me:  "Dang, I'm a pirate half the year already, I'm doing something else.  However, I have about 6 coats at home..."

I ended up wearing my Renaissance Scots garb. I just made a targe and wanted to show it off...  Besides, I've spent so much money on my garb that I couldn't really justify spending more money on something that I won't wear again.

(I'm an elementary teacher IRL)

-When you have Book Character Dress Up day at work you decide what garb you want to wear first (Steampunk) & then find the book to go with it (The Time Machine).  And I'm trying to decide between Renaissance next year or Mad Hatter.

-Your teen has a part in his schools production of 'Sir Gawain & the Green Knight' & after talking with the teacher you're able to fully outfit him with stuff from your own garb.  And the teacher is thrilled with how great he's going to look.

You drive home from work taking the back streets, because that way you go past streets named Dorchester, Bristol, London, Queen Elizabeth Way, and an apartment complex called Knights Court, because they remind you of faire.

I can't believe how geeky I am!

[Dinobabe]

If you read the previous post and wish you had streets that had those names so you could drive by them!

If you:

1) Meet your wife to be at a faire,

2) Get married in a castle, with all the trimmings

3) AND THEN have an entire second wedding the next day at faire because your faire friends couldn't skip their faire jobs to attend.

• In 100+ degree temps
• In Full Royal attire
• In Full blazing bloody hot sunlight

true rennie... or just nuts???

Stalk well...

You willing offer to take the assistants position (IE 25-50% pay cut) on a contract in order to have more time to spend at faire, and more time sewing garb for faire.

when your reoccurring nightmares are about renfest (and rennie friends).

When you get a compliment at work on the necklace you're wearing.

And you love the look on your co-worker's face when you tell her, "Thanks, it's made of chainmail."

I only wish I'd had a camera.   

[Tipsy Gypsy]

your pre-Thanksgiving prep includes a list of things to pre-pack in the car for a weekend at faire, so you don't have to wait until after the relatives leave to get it done.

........ you dream in the format of the RF Forums! I was on RF before I went to bed and my last dream before I woke up was in the RF Forums format, complete with the light blue sides and and reply dividers. The dream progressed as I scrolled down, each entry had a picture but it was live video. It must have been in the Mundane Topics because the images were not Renfaire related. I was having strange, vivid, and complicated dreams all night but the last one took the cake... never dreamed within a frame work like that! 

[Merlin the Elder]

heheh!  The same thing happened to me a few days ago.  I'm spending way too much time out here!

[Lady Neysa]

I had a crazy faire dream a few nights ago, (I have them all the time) I was at MDRF and as I'm walking around I discover they've built out several new sections of faire.  I excitedly go exploring and quickly realize to my horror, that all the new shops are strip mall type mundane retail stores!  Lots of them, at faire...ack!! As I'm walking around in disbelief, my surroundings have suddenly changed, and I appear to be on a random unfamiliar street in some urban area.  I see people here and there dressed in garb, so I approach them, and they either ignore me, or if I ask them, "where are we, how do we get back to faire?"  They shrug and say "we have no idea" , or some that said "what do you mean? This IS faire."
Doesn't seem so strange reading it, but it sure was weird! 

[LadyStitch]

Ok this is one from the Pink Pirate

.... if you heard the sound of train whistle and wish you were in a tent at TRF.    /sigh

[Merlin the Elder]

Spend Saturday night with your love, discussing which faires to attend next year...

[DT_Masters]

......according to the family, you're weird and you will never get a date with all those renfest pictures on the wall.....and the mundane general opinion agrees with this.
