I've waited a few days to collect my thoughts of this years camping at the Texas Ren Fest. Lessee no running water, no electricty, poor planning and drunk people make for an interesting mix of sex, drugs and celtic drum circles.
I've never seen so much public drug use, sex and craziness. I'm not much into the drug scene considering I've never touched drugs and don't plan to start. I highly value daily showers :P so I really don't see myself doing this again until we either get or rent a camper.
As far as the faire goes there are some new things. We didn't stay long enough to really explore it much. The weather was very hot and oppressive, why I let our friend talk us into going opening weekend I'll never know. Usually, we wait until the last weekend not to mention there's some good item discounts the last weekend.
Met some nice people at least and had some good games of cards. Realized we really need to get a new tent. We've not used our tent in so long some of the sealant is gone on the roof so all night long you had "drip, drip drip" on your head :P I somehow messed up the mantles on the lantern so when we turned it off the mantles went .. boom :P.
Overall I'd rate the weekend as a 6 out of 10. I'm still not sure if we'll ever do that again. The people are great but the setting just sucks much!
At least the costumes I slaved over were a hit.. so not all is lost.

<3 <3 totally forgot to mention that you asked a friend to go from san diego as well :P
Are you telling me there was no sword play involved?
Pooh!
Well I bought one of those memory foam swords for whacking the family with ... I'll get another when I go back so we can have foam sword play of dooom!
I didn't see any sword play but it was sooo damn hot out people mostly wanted to veg, drink etc :P
Now see....Ren Fest should be a late autumn occurrance. It would certainly make the heavy wool costumes more appropriate. No?
