You said you didn't give it to me so how can you take back what you never gave in the first place???? (As Yoda would say "Have the bottle back you may not")

Well two out of four isn't bad I guess. Two of them, of course the closest, no longer has active website connected to their advertisements. One of them is during the Faire Festival and the other has possibilities, it just depends if want to drive two hours to attend a function that I will know absolutely no one.

Well it lead me to a couple possibilities. I went back and took a look at Washington and that lead to one that reminds me of scarborough fair down in Texas. It also lead me to a pirate site, which Moondoggie is into. They have something going in September that he might be interested in.
What specific Ren Faire where you looking at?

Shrewsbury is the one that is two hours away ... but I could make it a weekend. I wonder what they would think if 13th Century garb showed up at a 16th Century event?
Just dust? No crumbs? That must mean that the fudge was liked.

Yep, just dust...and I can guarantee that it was very well liked...I think whether I had been able to eat it or not, he would have made off with it, just the same!!!
I wouldn't worry overly much if your clothing is not period perfect...You see people with all manner of garb on at the one that I go to...even pirates...and just where in the Renaissance do pirates come in??? Is funny that the one's dressed like pirates and the Ren Faire people heckle each other over it!!!

In that case I think I'm going to have to shake out my 13th Century garb and take it with me, and you are soooo right. Pirates have nothing to do with Renaissance.
Yep! Yep! We are all going to dress up! Rouge and Pip, what are you dressing up as? Growing old is mandatory; growing up is NOT.

Patrick, I have a feeling that you would be the first pirate to walk in.
A french maid Rouge? *giggle* Stop thinking about your boy.
Bek, when it comes to the garb I tend to lean to the tradition of a shift and tunic. I have been thinking the tribal look though for spinning. I want to get out of the jeans and T-shirt look into something this is not so main stream.
