:o Whoa, that is amazing! I always wanted to go to a Renaissance fair, I like the history and the culture surrounding the time period and it looks like so much fun. I wish I could go but it's too far away from where I live plus I've got summer school in July. Oh well, maybe they'll be one close to where I live.

No doubt about that! :D


Too bad I don't have any appropriate costumes.
I'm pretty sure a werecat or Red XIII would stick out like a sore thumb! XD

That's true :D
You could dress up like one of the animal characters from the Redwall books. They live in a Renaissance type age and they're anthros.

Someday I want to make a single-person centaur suit. I have an idea how I could engineer it, I just need the time and money to do it.

That looks amazing! If I am ever out CO way again I will be sure to check it out. We have one here in NY that I just found out about from some of the locals. Apparently, its somewhat similar with its own town and such. I guess its in Sterling,

Looks pretty spectacular! Cathey and I go to one here in Texas--indeed, we have two. But, they're very hot and don't have neat mountain ranges.

Well, I'm planning to go quite a few weekends. If you have a good idea of when you're gonna have some time off I can schedule around that.

Matt- any idea how far it is from Westcliff? I'm leaving to spend the summer at MIssion:Wolf for the summer, and a brief road trip to a ren-fair would be a lot of fun, especially if I could meet up with you guys!

I do...But I'm on a rotating schedule. My weekends off won't be here till the end of August. It takes 7months for it to come back around again.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do during my vacation. (Probably rest.) I'd like to visit Colorado. I always wanted to visit a wolf park there. (As long as I get to pet the wolves.) But a week off is not enough time for me to drive there. I'd have to take a plane. I may need a vacation from my vacation when I get back. I was so dang tired when I came back from A-kon. I had to work the very next day.
