Fair Season in NorCal.

My Profile

Freitag,

Age: 46

Location: Sutter Creek, CA (near Sacramento)

Home or favorite faire Favorite, so far -"Valhalla RenFaire", June'07 in South Lake Tahoe... couldn't beat the atmosphere and the climate.

About Me Hmmm. I'm a divorced, middle aged man whom changed careers and locations... no, no 'mid-life' crisis. Just felt I had enough of working in casinos and living in Las Vegas. NorCal is heaven to me.

Music

With the exception of most hip-hop/rap and some country, I like it all.

Literally.

From Classical to Heavy Metal,from Folk to Blues and everything in between.

Movies

Ahhh yes, Television... I Don't get to watch much of this (no cable/satellite, and no 'free' broadcast TV signal up here).

Books

From Action to SciFi to Fantasy to Bios to ???... If it is well written, I'll give it a shot.>>>----->

Likes

Wow... way too many to list here.

Dislikes

rude, ignorant and blatantly dishonest people ('nuff said).

Hobbies

Besides attending Faires, I do some novice woodcrafting (carving, fabricating, turning, etc.), Traditional Archery (sometimes called "instinctual" style), and trips to the coast (Pacific).

I am also a member of the Adrian Empire, although I haven't been active of late. Being so far away from my home Kingdom of Albion (or any other lands of the Empire) has kept me wandering from faires to festivals in search of my 'ren' fix.

Vices

Uh uh...

not listing them...

not HERE at least

Virtues

Where has the horse gone?
Where the young warrior?
Where is the giver of treasure?
What has become of the feasting seats?
Where are the joys of the hall?
Alas,the bright cup!
Alas, the mailed warrior!
Alas, the prince's glory!
How that time has gone,
vanished beneath night's cover,
just as if it never had been!
(Norton 70)

Beowulf (from the Saga...NOT that abomination with Angelina Jolie in it),

Charlemagne,

and Admiral (Sir) Horatio Nelson.

New Comedy- "Your Highness"

Monday, November 22, 2010, 12:52 AM [General]

A new movie comedy is coming to the theatee near you, "Your Highness", starring James Franco (a huge 180 from 127 days), Natalie Portman and Danny McBride.

I've seen the red band trailer (that's right, NOT for the kiddies), and if they haven't spoiled all the best seens from the movie, it's looks to be entertaining.

Lots of "Pineapple Express"/"SuperBad"/"KnockedUP" crude jokes/schtick in a medieval fantasy setting. best line in trailer?, see for yourself: www.ign.com/videos/2010/11/17/your-highn...

Enjoy!

Fair Season in NorCal.

Tuesday, July 6, 2010, 7:42 AM [General]

Well mein vetter (my cousins),

Fair season began here in Northern California in March with the Sonora Celtic Faire, and is in full swing with the summer months. However many fairgoers (a.k.a. 'rennies') seem to continue to be plagued with the same issue as the past two seasons... lack of funds/resources.

I myself have not attended a fair since the '08 season for this very reason. And as a result many fairs/vendors/guilds/etc. have either postponed events this year or worse, have folded all together.

Will this be a continuing disaster to the Ren culture, or will it act as a 'culling' of sorts? Getting rid of what have been called marginal shows and participants, leaving only the better and more compentant of them.

I guess only time will tell. In the mean time, if you can afford it, get out there and support your local events... they need all the help they can get to continue giving us the fairs we love.
