Christine Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 It's some time in August at Balboa Park. I missed out on it last year cuz my work schedule was really crazy then. I don't want to miss it this year. Some friends and family went and said it was pretty good and a lot of fun! Anyone here planning on going?

Capt Grey Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 Ain't never heard o'it, lass. But I'll be askin' me Ren friends about it and gets back t'ye. Do they allow pirates? Some o'them faires don't take too kindly to us buccaneers. Captain, we always knew you were a whoopsie. Rumors of my death are entirely premature.

Christine Posted July 2, 2004 Author Share Posted July 2, 2004 Here's the link to it: http://www.sdrf.com/SDRF_more_info.htm And I'm sure pirates are welcomed. I don't know of a faire that doesn't allow them. Especially now, cuz of the success of the movie, pirates are everywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt Grey Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 ARRRRRGGGGGHHHH! That be a hefty price fer admission, lassie! Dunno if me poor, threadbare purse be able t'support that. But mayhap the winds o'good fortune will change me predicament by then. Captain, we always knew you were a whoopsie. Rumors of my death are entirely premature.

Rumba Rue Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 I went last year. It's ok, but shade is very lacking. A hot day it t'was. That faire is extremely strict on the participants who work that faire - strictly Renaissance and nothing else. They won't even allow a pirate group to participate unless one is willing to conform to their rules i.e. must be Renaissance costumes, must be Renaissance look to encampment, and the list goes on. I know, because I checked into it for PRP and was given a flat no. There were some merchants that I hadn't seen elsewhere, but the prices were above the sky limit! Will I go again? Probably not, costs too much for everything. Rumba Rue **What part of arrrgggghhhh didn't you get?** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charity Sweetlove Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 *eyes the price of the San Diego Ren Faire* it's a cute little faire, though for $15 that puts the price close to what the Renaissance Pleasure Faire is up in Devore, Ca. and the faire down here is itty bitty! Granted, when you think that a DVD goes, on average, for about $15. *shrugs* If memory serves me correctly you can do a complete circut of the faire grounds in about 10 minutes, and that's with poking around in a few of the booths. There's one main stage area, then a couple of trees which have harpists that play under them. The main reason why my crew and I hit the San Diego ren faire though is because it's half an hour away from where we live and there's this one stand in there that sells the Best Home made birch bark root beer Ever! That and we have this hope that if people continue to go to this faire maybe it will get bigger and then we won't have to drive 3 hours to a large faire, 'cuz well we're lazy and don't want to drive that far. Meh, rambling again. oh yeah, I remember part of my point. As long as you're a customer no faire is really going to care what you show up as. I've seen everything from fairys wearing pasties *twitch* to Victorian era garb at faires. Participating in it is where things change. *with that wanders off to eat some cheese and listen to the Ben Gunn Society sing "hey Monkey"* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Scurvy Dog Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Do they allow pirates? Some o'them faires don't take too kindly to us buccaneers.

Captian Wolfy Wench Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 OF COURSE they allow pirates... I haven't encountered a problem yet, but who knows. I posted the SD ren faire on the calendar awhile ago, and it's now up in the upcoming events on the main forum page. I plan to be there, but I'm not sure; SD is far from LA.

Christine Posted July 14, 2004 Author Share Posted July 14, 2004 I'm also going to try and check it out. I'm having faire withdrawals. Last one I went to was the San Bernadino one in May. Yup, I need to go to another faire again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep watching Ever After and PotC, listening to Renaissance Lute music and bidding on toys for my garb. Am I losing it?

Charity Sweetlove Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 I know some folks aren't to fond of the SCA, but piracy is becoming more popular within it. There's even some Pirate Tourneys being held down here in Caid (San Diego area). Though what my crew and I do when going through faire withdrawl is: hit an SCA event Visit the Star of India There's Movie night at the Star of India Go camping and have our own Pirate event TAVERN PARTIES!!!! PoTC night, which we've done with a slight Rocky Horror Picture Show feel. Make garb, expecially hats Plunder a flea market for those must have finds TAVERN PARTIES because it bears repeating or play 7th Seas as a LARP. *wiggles* so much fun.

Aye. William Red, I dun think ye'll be too 'appy with the wench-y garb that belongs t' me. Honestly. 'S had my bare torso in it. I haven't really looked into joinin' the SCA, but I'm thinking I should, becuase I just NEED to attend more events. And there are some, other than the faires. Ah, Charity, those sound like sweet things t' do. I wish I knew more of me kind, lassie, really, then I'd've had me own faire!

Christine Posted August 4, 2004 Author Share Posted August 4, 2004 I found out there is coupons for this faire, not sure for how much off tho. It can be found in the San Diego Reader and the San Diego Family magazine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captian Wolfy Wench Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 Change of plans. Although I need faire right about now, any thought of one is depressing me too much. Ever since I lost my beautiful wolfy wench costume at Comic-con, the thought of faire makes me cry. It was beautiful work, and $80! Such a steal, and such talent! Plus... I think it's just too much to drive down to San Diego so soon. Too soon. Captain Wolfy Wench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
