Neat MNRF 2008 experiences

[unknownpoet78]

Sitting in the shop, using my new fishing pole and "fishing for gypsies" (hey, it's a big fest, there's gotta be some out there somewhere).  Having several people get "caught" for the tag and release program... and having one guy loop the "tag" (cheapie wedding ring decorations from michaels) through a nose piercing!

The Ren Fest Gypsy Wildlife Foundation is now tracking your movements... enjoy!

Actually Jib...

One of my most memorable experiences at faire came this weekend with you!..

You and I were standing in a lane talking about that great pirate book, "Under the Black Flag", when in the course of about 15-20 minutes several things happened...

1st the "sisters" approached us....Nuff said about that!...

Then that other pirate (don't know who he was) joined us...

Then the 2 guards/beef eaters showed up and that little impromptu thing started between them and the 3 of us. It didn't last but about 10 minutes, but was a lot of fun for me none the less. You carried the bit. And, I realized that my acting skills leave a lot to be desired...LoL

As I walked around the grounds later that day on 2 occasion I ran into one of those guards only to have him point at me and yell..."Rapscallion"!!!............


Of course, also this past weekend there was that whole thing about Bacardi's "gay blade" and Mad Jack that sticks in my mind too!..

Storm I'm glad you enjoyed it!  I did too!  The Guard and I have a bit of a history.  They either want to recruit me or see me in the gibbet!

Another memory from this year was opening weekend...

Gin and I hung with Sleepy and Jen most of the day.

Sleepy was in his FOP costume that day and it was "interesting" walking about 10 feet behind him and hearing the comments that people made.

A lot of them weren't very nice, and that was sad. I guess a lot of people don't really know about the place in history that FOP's played!...

Meeting the Fish Monger (Mongers Wife?) and hearing her silly fish jokes.  I actually got to give her one of my own!

Watching my girls, as the various characters at fest interacted with them! ( I think Jib got the best reaction with the "dead rat" )

I was thinking that, too about Sam Hall! My favorite on that cd!
