I didn't have a LiveJournal account until last fall, so there are no entries about the various renaissance faires I've been to. It's not quite faire season here yet, but it's getting close. This generates a bit of faire fever, so I've decided to post a bit about past faires attended. I probably won't be saying much about the Minnesota Renaissance Festival (MNRF) as KinkyTurtle has cartoon diaries of a couple visits. I will say it was the first festival I ever went to and the one I've been to most - mainly due to the long run of it and the relative proximity. MNRF has permanent structures rather than (just) tents. That's all I saw for a few years.
After Taurmania I, I kept going to MNRF. And again after Taurmania II. I'm not sure when I started reading alt.fairs.renaissance or found At The Faire (currently very slow - it's being worked on) but I did. And that led to an interest in seeing other faires and festivals.
( And that led to my visit to Wybreg... )
