Renaissance Faires

 

It's impossible to completely communicate how much I've received from the good people at these faires and shows. Of course there is entertainment, food, learning, beautiful women and good clean fun. But there is more, a certain sense of magic, of pride in their creation, of the celebration of the joy and happiness of just being alive. You can get as little or as much as you want from a faire - the participants are willing to give virtually anything you desire.

I would like to big a big hearty thanks to everyone at all of the faires for their kind words and for posing for many of these pictures. It's the people of the faire that make it fun and enjoyable. I've made many friends at faire, and again I thank you for the encouragement, the hugs from the ladies ;-), and most of all for the many years of enjoyment.

I would like to recommend you check out the Belles of Bedlam. They are a group of fun and lovely wenches (and a few guys), playing at many of the local faires in Southern California. They are, in my mind, one of the most enjoyable acts in the faire and I always make it a point to see their show. They don't know it, but their humor, high quality and kindness helped me through a rough time after my wife passed away in early 2005.

If you've enjoyed your visit, please take a moment to drop some change into the tip jar to the left. Many thanks.
