^ Yeah, everal times, but that was SCA stuff.

< Back in those days, we always dressed before an event. Evey now and then a gas station attendant would give us a weird look, but I think down in So. Ca. there were so many SCAers that they were used to seeing people dressed in costume.

V What's the strangest question anyone has asked you while you were in garb?

...schooners, islands, and maroons

and buccaneers and buried gold...

^ I've driven and walked in public in costume.  And yes...some very strange looks, but also some very nice compliments.

< I once dressed up as Death and rode in the back of a pickup down main street on Halloween.  I startled a cyclist so badly that he almost laid his bike over.

V Ever won a costuming award?

^ To answer William's question:

Yes, won 1st place in CostumeCon 24 in the Novice division for Workmanship Award: Best in Class/Presentation Award: Most Evocative. ( :lol: ) Captain Sterling also won for his wonderful efforts on this Award!!!! :lol:

To answer Ransom's question:

"Can you tell me where there's the Amish community is around here?" I was dressed in plain Wild West attire for a reenactment down in IL).

< I got sick after the event and didn't know I won until the following morning.

V Pass along Ransom's question...

^ No strange questions, but once when I entered a Beverages and More dressed as a pirate, everyone nearby facing the door simultaneously pointed to their right and said, "The rum's that way!"

< I won one costume contest, but it wasn't a period costume. I came as Death.

V Have you scared small children while in garb - and by scared, I mean they ran away shrieking?

^ Aye. After I changed costume garb @ Screams,(Halloween themed park in Waxahachie, TX; same site as Scarborough Renn Faire), I managed to get such a reaction from small children, (Red Riding Hood, grown up and werewolfed out)

< No awards to speak of,(or worth mentioning)

V I'll pass th' question on.

OOps! That was my outside voice;)!

^ Plenty of them. I once had a pinched nerve in my hip so I borrowe a chair from the conference room where I worked. An hour later I was fired for borrowing a chair. Pretty lousy day, that.

< I have plenty of good days get better though.

V Ever been fired over something so ridiculous that you can't explain it to others?
