Renaissance Festival...... anyone going??

[tater]

Yes..... I did have to do a search for "Maryland festivals" to figure out how in the hell to spell it. ANyhow, I was wondering who all has been and if you had fun? I wanna go, I went one year and the scenery was great and ya gotta love the big-a_s turkey legs.

Doesn't matter...... they have lots of women in chain mail armor and the knockers all smooshed together like puppies in a blanket (just a tip for the single guys of course)

Never heard them referred to them like that before.

I went a few years ago. One of the "Wenches" had a brass bra and bottoms.

But I'd need some liquid refreshment as well.

Yeah, I went several years ago, it's up in Crownsville (near Annapolis Mall). I guess it's through September and October. They have jousting too.

That they do, I actually got to see one of the knights get removed from his saddle a few years ago.

I took my husband to the Ren Faire in Crownsville last year. For those of you that've been there, you'll recall that the women @ the ticket windows are in full Ren costume. To quote tater, their knockers are all smooshed together like puppies in a blanket. Some of their ta-tas (thanx for that word, Sum ) are hanging out so much that they're about a quarter of an inch from showin' nipples. My husband was muttering about boobies under his breath the whole time we're buying tickets.

I asked if he wanted me to go back out to the truck to get the roll of paper towels to clean up his drool (or other bodily fluids).

I would like to go again this year sans husband, so let me know if a group thing is planned.

Sounds like fun to me...... the going as a group thing...NOT the cleaning up bodily fluids thing

I think I could be persuaded to go - ok, I can go - but -- can I bring my OWN paper towels?

I WANNT GO. I WANNA GO! I will wear my costume.



we can go if we go on a sunday. Hopefully everyone will approve of that. If not we will just miss out.


We can fit 2 people.

So - who has what in the way of a vehicle and who's driven to the Crownsville Ren Faire before? I've got an Escape (seats 5 comfortably and two more can hang out in the back like my pups ) and I've driven to the Ren Faire before. It's just getting home from the Ren Faire is where I generally get really screwed up and lost.

It's easy. Rte 2/4 to 450 --- 450 West to Crownsville. Turn right.
Same thing on the way back.

Just to answer the question:

Yes, plenty of beer and hard cider available at the Renaissance Festival. I don't go much anymore; all I did was pay the $16 to get in and then proceed to eat and drink all day long. Somewhat expensive in my mind. Still a fun time!

And the turkey leg wasn't as good as I thought it would be. The one I got was pretty chewy. Steak on a stick is good, and the giant pickle wasn't bad (hey, get your mind out of the gutter, I don't swing that way!).

Also, it is interesting to see those in attendance who don't work there, but still dress up in Renaissance-ish costumes. Gives me the impression that some people might attend lots of these festivals around the region.
