Texas Renfest Gathering **UPDATE** 08/25/2006 10:19 PM CDT
Alright, well, I have hit a pretty bad financial bind. Almost had to cancel DR, but managed to struggle through for the time being. Unfortunately though, this means I can't afford the Ren Faire in October. I've talked to most everyone I know is going, and they've agreed its ok to postpone it, since n one else wanted to take ove rthe planning LOL.

So. We are changing the dates to November 18 and 19. Depending on the weather, we may get a hotel, rather than camping, but that will be decided last minute, and it may be that we split up.

I think this means that we will actually, in effect, have a bigger turnout, so hopefully it works out for the best!

Thanks for all y'alls understanding and patience! I'll update again soon!

*Oh and I still wanna do the Haunted house in October as planned..... maybe a different date though, any suggestions?

I may actually be able to go with these dates. I won't be dead broke then.

Was bored at work today, found that tents are not anywhere near as expensive as I thought they were. And it's looking like I'll be free to go on November 18th and 19th (may even have the 17th completely off so I can go stake out an area during the day assuming weather cooperates).

And if anyone is in Houston, I'm now living there rather than in Austin. Long story...

So what goes on at a Renfest? I've only read about such things in books. And I'll hopefully be in texas next year so maybe I can see one for real :)

>So what goes on at a Renfest?

Buncha people in medieval garb who are at almost as geeky as we are, talking to other garbed people with fancy accents and pretending we live a long time ago. Lots of shoppes and shows and jousting and ... and .. and .. Elephants!

This Ren Faire in particular is great because theres also camping, and a bonfire. So get those people in medieval garb around a bonfire, and give about 60 of them drums... and alcohol .. and let it go from dusk to dawn. Its seriously surreal.

It's fun to step back in time once in a while.

I will be at TRF at some point... looks like possibly (hopefully) the 18/19th but I'm not sure. If I'm there, look for me at Authentic Wardrobe- that's where I'll be... drinking a lot probably. :D

I totally forgot that Drongol lives in Houston. Lived here all my life. I love it, humidity and lovebugs and all.

November 18-19 is the last weekend, isn't it? I went the first weekend and will likely go again November 4th. Supposed to go the last Saturday as well but I'm not 100% certain about that.

Well, technically, Drongol lives in Elanthia, Drongol's Player lives in Houston :)

Looks like that's the last weekend.

I'm iffy for that weekend. I know I'm going one more time this year, and I really prefer the last weekend for any shopping, but RL hubby's schedule might mean I have to go a few weeks earlier.

Thats why we picked that weekend!

Let us know if y'all decide to go that last weekend, so we can be sure to meet up! I'll post last minute details here in a couple of weeks.

I may decide to sneak in without him, it all depends on the pocketbook.

If you shop at the pirate ship, they're in two locations now - The pirate ship, and a shop on the same side of that road/aisle/whatever as the theater Dead Bob performs in. Their auction and raffle now stretches all the way across that area and halfway down that road.
