Minnesota Renaissance Festival


The Doctor

Recommended Posts

Hmmm... Strange. The original thread on this faire seems to have been deleted. :ph34r:

No matter!! The 2006 Ren Fest will run weekends and Labour Day from August 19th to October 1st. For information and season passes, call (800) 966-8215.

On a bummer of a note, My Lady's Cutlass have decided not to perform at this year's MN festival due to schooling and family constraints.

They will still be performing at Siouxland and Twig! :ph34r: :) :ph34r:

I'll be sure to post their other upcoming appearances. All the best to Capt. Thalia and Jeanne! :lol::lol:

Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that?

We are very sad to say that Marysburg Books is now out of business - as in closed as of this past weekend - and so will not be able to host the planned mini ren fest next week. It's quite sad and for more reasons than the cancellation of the mini faire. It was a lovely, growing place. Just not able to keep up with the costs of the growth. :lol:

It's a shame My Lady's Cutlass won't be a MNRF. There's always plenty of good entertainment there, however. The Dregs, Drunk 'n' Disorderly...many more who's names escape me right now.

I hope to see some of you pirates at Mac's Pub this season -- there's a pint in it for ye if you come up and introduce yourself to me and Sjoroveren! :)

I"ve heard of a pirate fest on August 26-27 weekend.. and will try to make that one, I think. I have some peeps going that weekend, and may save some gas that way.

Rumor on the pirate weekend is that it will also be beer tasting.

I'll see if I can get a bunch of you who come in pirate garb in the parade that weekend if I can swing it with management. That is if you are interested.

Ah how times have changed! When I last worked MNRF we'd grab anyone in costume and make them do the parade. Now there needs to be official permission. Tis sad.

I was in the parade with the king of the pirates, aka the man in the purple coat of the Pirates of Portobello.. Nice man he was, took the hint that I would love to walking an talking with the others. A pirate and a gent..

Beer, pirates, and friends... doesn't get much better than that.

The MRF management can be a wee bit up tight. I suppose they might worry about a patron passing out during the parade run. I don't think it would be a problem but since they have issued my "Letter of Marque" I best remaind on the boss's good side.

Ah, good point, Jib. Their liability insurance is probably through the roof as it stands.

By the way; I found out that My Lady's Cutlass will be performing the second weekend of MRF! :lol::lol:

Don't worry about old Ian. He'll be out at MRF more than you think. We shall see if we can get him to do a few sets with us (Pyrates of Portobello). The problem is that he has a new job and can't get a full day off on Saturday. He promises to be back next year full time and do the Queens Pub.

So my advice is keep a weather eye open for Ian as he wanders the streets of MRF.

Oi! Jib! I've got a live one for ye! Her name is "Caitlin", a.k.a. "Caili". Blonde, tan, and drop dead gorgeous, I've sent her your way. Don't be shocked when this lovely mynx comes to chat you up! Consider it an early Christmas gift, yeah?! :lol::lol::P

You're more than welcome, Jib. At my stage of life, living vicariously through another is rewarding in proportion to the lasciviousness of the nature of the intent being lived through, yeah? I followed it. Didn't you? B) Right!

10 days, 16 hours, and 26 minutes.

(where's that damned "24" sound effect?!)

MNRF trip is on.... August 25 to 27th. I have a few friends I am staying with there, and a pretty good sized group going from some rennies I know.

Hey Jib and Jack.. you set up for a pirate who like to drink (some) and have fun (some more)? I'd like to meet as many of the pirates there as I can..

Starting this weekend, The Minnesota Renaissance Festival shall be overrun by pyrates of every nation and intention. We've agreed to a few stipulations, however. Women and children will auctioned off, but you have to take your purchase(s) home before attempting to sell them on eBay for a profit. Anyone attempting to break this rule shall endure public ridicule and the confiscation of their decaf, half-fat, mocha latte. Repeat offenders shall be strung up and used for lighting rods or mud-puddle bridges.

The fun continues weekends and Labour Day through October 1st in Shakopee, Minnesota.
