 1st Ren Fest: (year 1995) ~*~....see pictures....~*~ Ah yes, I remember the days. It was cold and a bit dreary outside. Nice and breezy weather though. I attended the Renaissance Festival with my boyfriend Wil, as well as my friends Kelly (a poet), Walt (another poet) and Freddie (hmm, I can't remember exactly what he was that year). We had a hell of a time! =) I know, my costume wasn't all that 'Renaissancey', but it's not like I had much to work with. Heh. I made my own cloak (it wasn't all that great but it kept me warm) and my outfit was actually a witch's halloween outfit. Tee hee hee. We camped that night...and low and behold, who did we end up camping right next to? A few of Wil's old friends. So that's when we really partied! *grin*
2nd Ren Fest: (year 1997) ~*~....see pictures....~*~
Hmm, if I remember correctly, I attended the Festival a couple of times that year. First time I went with Walt. He was dressed as a monk. (Although he wore his tennis shoes...heh.) The second time I went with my friend Steve, aka Zaknafien, (who I met online and now lives way up North or something like that). We met up with a few friends of ours also from the internet. One goes by the name of Oneiros. And then we also ran into Kishpa and Nostradamus. Kishpa is such a sweetie! I didn't dress up that time. The weather was a bit weird that weekend, first it rained and then was chilly in the evening. I still had fun. =) And yes, I camped both times I went there too.
3rd Ren Fest: (year 1999) ~*~....see pictures....~*~
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! Did I have fun or what?!?! First I went with my sister, my mom and my dad. Didn't dress up, we were just spectating. Plus, my sister hadn't an outfit to wear. So, mom took us shopping. That's when we obtained our cute lil tops. Lori got a skirt to match her top. (If you ask me she looked a bit too Xena like with the skirt on.) The second time I went, it was on my sister's birthday. Mom and dad came to take pictures and hang out. And Lori brought a few friends, Andrea (dressed as a lady), Andrea's sister (another lady), and Josh (a cool lookin monk). While in the festival, we ran into so many friends! It was great! Saw Ben, Freddie, Sam, Pete and Rob. Too much fun we had! Oh! This was also the first year I was able to drink. So believe you me, I was drink'n! I only wish I could have stayed awake for the midnight party the Brigadunes host in the camp grounds. Heh. *grin*
4th Ren Fest: (year 2000) ~*~....see pictures....~*~
It just get's better every year! Let's see, I believe the first time I went, it was with Emma (a friend from work). She dressed as a lady/princess and I went as the usual. We arrived on a Friday evening and had fun pitching our tents in the dark. Thankfully, kind gentlemen around our camp lent us a hand. *grin* Turns out, one of them was Wil's old friend Larry and his wife. We ran into lots of friends and had a good ole time. Oh we danced and danced at the midnight party! Second time I went, I met up with Freddie to venture about the festival in full garb. I later met up with a fellow fairy friend, Rhiannon. We had so much fun getting to know each other in real life. Once Rhiannon left, Freddie and I went to a wedding reception and tanked up on the beer. Yum! =) Met up with Rob and his friends and hung out the whole evening, bumming beer/ale and other such alcoholic beverages from fellow campers. Boy, you sure would think I was an alcoholic if I didn't say I wasn't. *laff*
