I don’t think I’ve posted about the ren fest, yet. So let me fix that.
We’ve been to the ren fest twice this year. It was very much fun. Also, the time before and after ren fests have been great this year, too, although next time I may pre-stack the bedroom furniture just for fun. (I love writing obscure things and then not explaining them.) Krystals was good, and I look forward to more krystals at some point in the future… oh, and ruby tuesdays, but now I’m really getting off topic.
You know, as awesome as the ren fest is and all, it really makes me miss cold weather. We don’t seem to have any of that here. I mean, ren costumes are all about layers of clothes and leather and cloaks, etc… which you can’t really wear comfortably if it’s 90 degrees outside. I mean, I have a cloak of awesomeness (+1), and I can’t wear it because it’s also a cloak of staying very warm (+4). Likewise, I saw some pretty nice leather jackets/vests last time I went, but they’re leather, and I was hot enough in just the top I had on.
I also miss being rich… oh wait, I’ve never been rich. 
but that’s besides the point. Outfits are expensive. The jacket I want is about $250. for a jacket. Then there’s hats, boots, gauntlets, sword and all the associated rigging that goes with that… I could spend $1500 and still not be 100% done… there’s always something else, but I guess that’s the point. I envy girls on this point. Girls can get very good looking, complete outfits for under $200. probably easier to do when there’s less leather and steel involved. Hur-rumph.
And, yup, we’re going back to the ren fest this weekend, too. Should be fun, althought I do hate that my brother couldn’t make it, too, this time. Maybe next year…
