Now I have to say that the second that I read the part about “friends from the Renaissance Faire” I pretty much figured we were about to get this story or a story about people actually showing up in costume and continuing to play out Court dramas complete with sex on the tables and edged swords and a certain level of insanity and violence.  Now, now...don’t anybody jump all over me about how not everyone who participates in The Faire is all looney...I know that, I know some perfectly lovely folks who work The Faire and don’t have any desire to live their day to day lives as though Elizabeth were still the Queen.  But come on...we all know that particular part of The Faire crowd that tends to swing a little to the extreme.  I used to know someone who was involved in a certain organization that shall remain nameless who thought nothing of destroying marriages and families as a result of living out make believe Court intrigue.  Glad you guys got out before it got really strange...because chances are very good it got stranger.

Darn it, I miss all the fun!

yeah Bliss, I could sense things swinging pretty far afield.  I think Eric the Boyfriend (that’s heraldic nomenclature) stuck around for the whole show, and that’s probably partly why he was, not long thereafter, my friend’s ex-boyfriend.  Come to think of it, there were plenty of guys there who seemed all too willing to put the odd “dic” in “heraldic.”

and Jeff, honestly, I think the hot dog I ate on saturday was more satisfying.  you may have missed something, but I’m not entirely sure it was “fun.”

Wouldn’t it be nice to have left a spy camera somewhere, so you could have seen what happened next, without having to be there.  Then again, give the crowd, maybe not ;-)

I’ve never quite understood how people can find playing with guns sexy but that aside, I would have stuck around. Can’t say I would have participated, but it’d still make for a fine story I think.

geez....sorry my old faire friends were such freaks (and not in the nice way). 

how’d i weasel out of going, i wonder????

I think being born in the 60’s one tends to have a laid back reaction to just about anything that goes on. As long as I don’t have to participate, if that’s your thing and you’re not hurting me or mine, then go for it.

When you talked about Kel saying ‘These are your friends?’ I wonder (and I’m not sure what state you were in your relationship at this point) if she’s thinking ‘Do I really know you at ALL?’

I like the way both of you handled it.
