@RainbowPanda: ooooo that sounds cool! I'm happy for you (: I miss my little girl scouts haha I was a leader for the 5-6 yo girls in my troop when I was 17 but I also helped out the other leaders with the rest of the girls (7-14), especially when we were on field trips or camping :> I loved ;; my girls ;;

@sunny: aaaa yeah I'm lucky one is so close; when I lived farther north and in Texas there weren't faires near us so we didn't go for about...5 years, I think.
Thanks!!! I buy my outfits at various vendors at the fair and they are ;;; so amazing??? a lot of stuff it's just...implied to have warranties on it haha

@RainbowPanda: haha yeah~

@Luffer Nutter: yeah!!! We've gone to this faire since they were in Devore, back when if you wore purple the workers bowed to you and called you your highness cause only royals wore purple xD they tried to be much more period accurate back then lol
Sounds like y'all have fun!!! we went merchant weekend for our first day this year haha

@Saeyra: haha you're welcome ^-^!

@Luffer Nutter: yeah they moved to irwindale sometime in the past 13 years lol they have the nymphs and Dryads now, and are much looser about everything. I think they had to stop doing it when the faire got more popular with the non-period reenactment nerds, since lots of peeps wear purple now and it would be. Confusing. And troublesome for the workers lol

@Kozi: aaaa yeah I could see that happening; the faire is super expensive for everyone. They had to close an alleyway that had been part of the faire for years because people we're using it to get back to the front without looping around so business for the booths lining the longer curve DIED around 4pm :<
We had lots of fun! But we had gyro/pitta sandwiches the first weekend we went and some spicy sausage and rice and a clam chowder bread bowl this past weekend haha I haven't gotten a turkey leg in YEARS they're so big and my fam doesn't really eat that much xD;

@Kozi: mmmmm that could be it? The ren faire has a BIG BILLBOARD in Irwindale, but I'm not sure what other ads they do :U we just get emails when the tickets go on sale lol

I have been twice.
One of the places I used to live had a really huge one where I think they rented out one of the camping grounds. (there were a lot of camping grounds) And when I say huge it was fairly large. They had an actual jousting tournament with real horses. The first time I went it was just to stake the place out. I wasn't in costume. The second day however I did go in costume.

There is supposed to be one here where I live now, but I'm not sure how large it is. The cons and festivals here, at least the ones I have been to, have never been that big.
