    I went to a renaissance faire recently with some friends. We dressed up, drank booze, watched a few “shows”, and wandered around – it was a blast.

    It’s something I would have been mortified to admit to doing in my teens or 20s.

      We dressed up, drank booze…

      I’ve never quite understood the appeal of ren faires, mainly because I’m frugal and I always felt like there wasn’t much to do except buy stuff. Reading your comment, I think there might be a key step or two that I overlooked.

        It also helps to go to a larger one that also caters to adults. Some of the shows we went to were clearly not for kids.

          Frankly, I don’t need to worry about ren faires at this point; I’m going to get plenty of that sort of entertainment going to Dragon Con instead.
