Renaissance Fair

I'm going to the one in Houston tomorrow. I seem to remember some forkers went last year. I've never been. Any tips?

Tip:
This is my friend Glenn:


Do not approach Glenn.
If Glenn is drunk, and you are friendly, HE WILL SHOW YOU HIS PENIS.


I warned you.

Also, drink a lot and don't get sunburned. And stop by the Pepper Lady's booth. Her raspberry chipolte = best. ever. And always tip the performers, and don't spend the extra $ on the full-color program, it's not worth it.

This is Damon:

He's mostly harmless but he WILL TAKE DRUNK PICTURES OF YOU AND POST THEM TO THE INTERNET.

Also, these are not idle threats, these people do get down to TRF (Texas Renesance Festival, for those of you who aren't ren geeks) every few weeks.

This is good information. Am I going to look stupid if I don't dress up?

[Irock]

Nah. If you count out the performers and merchants, fewer than half the people will be dressed up. I don't always dress up either; some mornings you just REALLY don't feel like putting on a fucking corset.

If you've got $20 bucks to blow on something silly, it's fun to get your hair braided. It's great in the summer to get it off your neck but it may be too cold for that tomorrow.

Case in point (because I have no shame):

[Rebecca]

I got drunk before 4pm and ate until I could eat no more. I'm totally dressing up next year!

I went to this thing called the King's Feast, and the theme was forks. They sang about forks and forkers and forking. I got a kick out of it.
