MN State Fair/Renaissance Festival Food...on a stick.

[Ed Hocken]

I wanna go to your wretched state just to see you guys and go eat this shit.

As you can tell, this canuck over here is jealous.

Went to the ren fest for the birth celebration. Nathan had never been. Other than the fact that it was about 48 degrees, I had fun. Ate my first turkey leg(not impressed) and bought the siblings some blown glass ornaments. We watched the joust for a bit as well as the glassblower. Will post pics in a bit.

That reminds me! I went back this week and bought a glass crab I thought looked awesome. Pictures later.

[Abraham Smashington]

Aaaand there's the food on a stick.

Texas Ren Fest this weekend.

I need new friends. Been talking with my best friend for literally years about going. Last night he finally tells me they are going to buy tickets, but then starts bitching about how much it costs, going so far as to break down cost per ticket for him, his wife, and two kids plus gas costs.

So I tell him if that's hurting you, then don't go, because tickets are fucking CHEAP. "No it's Sixty fucking dollars for all of us" was his response. So I told him if $60 is going to break him, don't go. So this morning he tells me they probably aren't going because his wife's friend told her that her and her husband spent about $100 there. And I'm like OK...so where's the surprise? I'm planning on taking $150 for food and booze and games. He said the only reason to go is for the kids, which I argued to be stupid, because no kid is going to want to go walking around for 8 hours, and his wife is going to complain about the big titty wenches.

Then my sister tells me that she and my niece may not be going either. So next weekend I am going to Ren Fest with my GF, her dad, sister, and some of their friends.

WTB FRIENDS TO DEVOUR MEAD AND TURKEY LEGS WITH DRUNKENLY

weaksauce. Ren faire is fucking great. And 150 for food/booze/other is the perfect amount.

They don't know what they're missing. It's their loss, Billy.

[Ingrid]

What Matt said. People would complain if they were hung with a new rope.

On a side note, my mom has never been, so I told her I'd take her next year and she got all excited.

To put this in perspective, it's a $100 just to get into Disneyland.

And you'll have a better time because of this! You don't need any Bitchy McBitchersons along for the ride - go with people who are going to enjoy themselves.

I mean, Ed made the best point about Disneyland being $100 just to go - anyplace that's fun and worth going to is going to cost money. That's just how it is. We're planning a trip to Graceland in the next year or two (it's just like Ren Faire, but with more glitter and aviator sunglasses. Both, however, have giant turkey legs to nom), and it's $70 per person just to get in, to say nothing of the food, souvenirs, hotel, air fare and rental car. That's just the way it is. The option is staying home and playing with yourself - which, while fun once in a while, isn't something you want to sit around doing when you have the chance for a fun day out or trip to go on.

Yeah, I knew that would get a comment from one or more of you!
