Wow, I've Neglected You

So it's been a few weeks since I posted anything. My bad.  Actually I take that back, I don't like the phrase "My Bad" so I'll say, my sincerest apologies, it was indeed my fault.  A bit longer, but I bet you felt better reading it. I know I felt a better connection with you when I wrote it.  So, There will be a big event this weekend, The Scarborough Renaissance Faire in Waxahatchie, Texas.  My clan is going along with my mother and father in law.  This year I am sporting period attire.  Watch out for photos this weekend of a lovable portly innkeeper, it might be yours truly.  I say portly because it makes me feel less self conscious about myself, also it sounds neat.

To explain a Renaissance Faire to those not in the know, it is a place where people can pretend it is the 15th or 16th century (depending on the venue) and act like fools while staring at the scantily clad people in costumes.  The Scarborough Faire is a great one, it's size is just perfect and the environment that has been created is just plain awesome.  It's fun for the whole family, the girls love going and it's always a blast to watch them.

In my few travels to events such as this, I have learned that some things are essential to take. Here are a few things that are on my list.

1. Money (As with most things like this, things add up - bring your shillings)
2. Gold Bond (Spray or Power, but beware and be prepared)
3. Portable Battery Charger for Phone (especially if you are using it as your camera)
4. Underwear (Even if they didn't always have it back then, you should wear some)
5. Money (Bring extra, just in case)
6. A sense of humor (the players\actors may give you a good ribbing, so be prepared to take it in stride)

We try to hit a couple of these a year, and we are always looking for more to go to and people who want to go, so be sure to throw suggestions at me.

I think it might be timeth for me to goeth, so pleaseth stayeth tuned .. eth.
