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

[iain robb]

Well, let's just say that my wife's idea of camping and mine are at opposite ends of the spectrum. This spring I went backpacking for five days with everything I needed in a 35L daypack. But when she and I go camping, we have to take, well, enough to fill the back of a Ford Focus hatchback, with the rear seats down. I think we take more gear to camp now than we did when we had kids along.

But having derailed the discussion, let me add, I think you know your're a true rennie if you're still looking for those one or two or ten things that are going to perfectly accent one outfit, and you're already starting on the next one!

Losing weight means new garb.....huzzzah!!!!

When you have a rental and you are debating if this is the kind of car you want to get for your next one, until you realize that the trunk was made for mundane use and there is no way you could fit all of your faire stuff in there

I just bought a new to me vehicle.  It might actually fit every thing fest related.  For a change.  Except my Dad ( who was keeping it to give it the "once over") backed into it with his Tahoe.  He's pretty.   
So, a whole new can of worms there.

The search for the perfect accent is never complete! And hopefully, new outfits are never ending as well ;-)

you go to a church retreat weekend and are told to bring your own mug for coffee.  And you bring a photo mug with a picture of you and your husband wearing pirate garb.

People at work start calling you by your faire name...

Well, you do look like how Merlin is usually described.

I turned on my "cleaning" music today- Babygirl (2 1/2 years old) gets excited, I dare say she "squee"d, and says, "Mom, is dat Renaissance? It make me 'appy!!!"  Then she gets down from her breakfast to start dancing.

You go to write the word Fair, and you add the "e" to the end because you are so used to writing Faire

You are driving home from a trip, and as you pass an on ramp you wonder what the line of cars are for.  Then you notice the gypsy skirt sticking out a car door, and a foam broad ax in a back window, and what really sinches it is the  bumper stickers that say, "Kilt checker aboard", and "There is a fly in my beer, yay more protien," and other wenchy/rogue sayings. 

Yeah you are passing a ren faire. 

[LadyFae]

And you kept going!?!?!?!?!?!?

Um... that's the way it's supposed to be spelled.

[LadyStitch]

And you kept going!?!?!?!?!?!?

It was 30 minutes till  closing cannon. Otherwise we might have LOL.

when you go over to a friend's house who is also a rennie, and not only do you know the CD that is playing, you know what faire you were at with this friend when he bought it and what year it was.

[Robert Phoenix]

Not only do you go to any thing faire related (Highland Games, concerts, etc) but you suddenly discover that you have more ren faire clothes than dane clothing.


True story-I actually realized today that I now own more kilts than pants.
