JUNE 9-JULY 29 ) You guys should come out and visit for this. It's an absoloutly HUGE Ren Fair chock full of nerdy goodness. They built a whole damn town for this thing. Looky photos..

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.

i wanna go

Ren fair's are a blast. Every time I go there, I want to buy a sword sooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad. Makes me wanna buy one, strip off my shirt, and run around screaming, "See your enemies driven before you! And hear the lamentation of the women! yarrgh! Where's the mead!? Oh wait! I don't drink! Ohhh! Chicken leg! *nom nom nom nom*

Hey cool! I'll be in CO then, maybe I'll go for a day!

You'd love it Pariah.

No doubt about that!


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
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.

Sounds interesting and a lot of hard work. Good luck Pariah

Actually last yer there WAS a guy in a centaur suit...legs didnt move tho.

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,

Friggn sweet to bad I cant go...maybe next time but me and a few buddies host a yearly Ancient Civilization Seminar/Fair thing where we live it covers all ancient cultures...I run the ancient China/Japan because I can do the fancy sword techniques and speak full Chinese and Korean my Girl friend speaks Japanese so ya...Really wish I could go...I love sweaty nerds acting like knights HAHAHA!

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.

Hey Matt, when are you going to this event? I might drive down for a weekend if I have time.

Be sure to tell me if you pull it off
I am back home in Texas, but if I was back up there, I would have been happy to join you Matt. Sorry.

They wouldn't know what was scarier... the sword or seeing a 30+ man running around with out his shirt...

Becareful, ya might get mistaken for a Red Neck...

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.

If I could come I would...It looks wonderful there!! I know we had something similair in missouri once, but I didn't get to go to it..I would fancy going to this one time I bet they got jesters here lol

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!

And my next vacation is towards the end of August. It'll be over by then.

here's a map.


Roughly 100 miles from Westcliff, up through Colorado Springs, up to larkspur. ( Roughly...

You should also come hang out with us after the Ren Fair...We have a annual Thursday night get-together in Colorado Springs and another On Sunday. All we do, is eat food, watch sci-fi, and socialize.

aND Y KNOW fIG, IF YOU HAVE WEEKENDS...

Oh my....that's quite a ways. I'd still like to try to go, I'll scout out the campgrounds in the area. ^^

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.
