Going to the 16th Century this weekend
it's the opening of the Carolina Renaissance Festival. It runs 7 weekends 'til the weekend before Thanksgiving.

Since I know most of the acts and regular playtrons (i.e., the patrons who come in garb) from the spring RenFest, it'll be a mini-reunion! :woohoo:

Might get to see this guy there

2. I'll be walking around
I'm not a character at Carolina like I am at the Georgia RenFest. The Faire is in Huntersville, which is a little north of Charlotte. That's a relatively short drive (about 3 hrs.) from Atlanta, so hopefully I'll get to see my friends from the spring.

10. You're too kind


This weekend is going to be too warm to wear that. But it should be cool enough later on.

I'm going more than once. I'll get pics.

7. I don't think he wants to talk to me
and he's in Pennsylvania. I don't think he's coming to the RenFest this year. I heard that he was too much of a horse's ass last time and he was mistaken for one of the horses got put in the joust arena. From what I understand, it wasn't pretty.


:rofl:

12. Make sure to get your inoculations
The idea of hopping into a time-travel machine without guarding against the plague, or the influenza strains of the time... :scared:

17. Actually, I just saw a
documentary, NOVA?, recently that speculated that people who survived The Plague have descendants now who are naturally immune to AIDS.

So, he may be retrofitted anyway.
