Rennies are different because...

[Lady Nicolette]

Not too many other people would invite people they never met to stay at their house, only "knowing" them through posting on the forum.

You're right on this one, Lady Renee!  I make it a point to remind my 15-yo on occasion that he is absolutely not to do as I do in this case!

[Taffy Saltwater]

We take ourselves lightly (& with salt & tequila) - don't snark on my parade, please!

Rennies will hold your hair when you've had too much, and support you when your blood sugar is too low. They'll carry you to the car when you're wasted, and hold your feathers while you dance in the pouring rain. They'll drink all your liquor, but get ya back the next day. And if you're not careful, Rennies will become your best friends, and even FAIREmily when you're not looking...

[Robert Phoenix]

While  Rennies enjoy such modern toys such as cell phones, ipods, etc., we can imagine living a simple life without them.  Viking horns work quite well in a a small town when you want to get the kid home.  Can he hear me now?

Blue, that was lovely.  It really was.

S'truth too.  I discovered last weekend at WIRF that faire isn't the merchants and the shows, it's the people.  I was having a crappy time until I ran into a couple I knew from Bristol and the rest of the day was absolutely wonderful.  Instead of heading out around 1, I ended up staying until 7:30 and hanging out with Moonie.  That's the thing about rennies, no matter where you are, you can almost always run into someone you know, or who knows someone you know, and it's instant family reunion (except these are people you actually like).

You know rennies are different because when you know you could call anyone whose apart of your ren-mily at two in the morning because something is seriously wrong- they won't ask why you need them, they're already throwing on a pair of shoes and grabbing their keys, saying- "I'll be there in a couple hours."

[Blue66669]

You guys don't even know how much you all mean to me. Ok, I'm getting all teary just thinking about it. I never enjoyed faire as much as when I started meeting my future FAIREmily. These are people that come to my house in the middle of the night to keep me company when I'm upset. They celebrate with me when my kids have a birthday. They drive cross-country with me so that we can go be with friends that we've never even met. They hold me up and strengthen my spirit when I feel as if I have no more to give. I owe what I have now in my life to my fellow Rennies. Thank you all so much.

And Elle, it would take me a little longer, but you always know that your sister has your back, at any hour.

[Yrose]

I agree most rennies are more open minded, friendlier, non-judgmental, and just loads of fun.

Dayna,
Glad you didn't leave early and stayed.  It was good to see you and Nixie this Saturday. 
(Poor little thing, it was so cold when the wind kicked up)

I love rennies because we are all so different, but can all get a long.  Perhaps we need a Rennie to run for President?

[laedyfaire]

YES! A rennie for President! Now that would work..and they could have their official meetings and greetings at a renfaire! how awesome would that be.

In all the time I have been going to faire, whichever one, with all the drinking going on and the many different types of people attending, I have yet to see one disturbance! or argument, or fight...

Rennies are different b/c we are all gwons upsies and still like to play dress up!

B/c we think we think about our faire persona as our true selves. LF

[Peddlin]

When you step into a fantasy, it does have a tendancy to release the inhibitions, and people do seem to be more themselves. Of course, everyone else is a part of your fantasy, too, so it works. I can't think of a better way to get to know people.

Lords and Ladies I am your Jester, Theodore Hief.  Today we are here at the "Troll & Ogre Slop Trench", a "fine" feasting establishment in Outer Laconshire, England.

Theodore Hief:  Greetings, doth thou taste anything different with thine meal?

...we believe in magic. And not just the fairy dust and pixie wings type. The real magic. The kind that restores hope and energy. The kind that suspends all forms of reality and makes people believe again.
The kind that forms a bond between us all and allows us to simply be.

[Imestra]

Rennies are the coolest, 'cause they are capable of expressing their affection.
