Renaissance Festival Survival Guide A Scot Irreverent Look at the Modern American Renfest edition by Ian Hall Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
If you've ever gotten stuck going to a lousy Renaissance Festival, then you've either enjoyed it or suffered through some of the worse endurance tests ever. I can compare it to having your head placed in a metal vise for a prolonged period, or being stuck in a room with Britney Spears noise.
When I was in New York, I got stuck going. It is about 30 miles away from any city, this is to avoid the ordinances for trash and waste, since most of the Renaissance Festival produces tons of useless rubbish that filters into the human dumps of the area. There is an excessive entrance fee, which goes to line the pockets of questionable promoters with names like "Mackey", "Tough Guy Eddie", or "Flubert the Hand-buster"; then, while you are inside, you have to pay about $30 for a huge leg of turkey that looks disgusting. Red, sinewy veins line the mutant leg of turkey, I simply settled for cob of corn.
There may be a petting zoo, which is notorious for the noxious fumes produced by foul-smelling animals of the oves or Ovis aries variety, which I might add, are not very friendly and will reward you with a hoof to the (blank) or a nibble along your (blank). Not many other people went and the performers weren't good at all. On top of it, a lighting storm and heavy downpour ruined it all and we had to leave for fear of being struck by lighting.
Most of the women are rather large, which I enjoy, since I met a 250 pound woman named "Svellbarra", who believes she is a reincarnated fairy from Norway. If you are willing to go, then I suggest only wearing a monastic monk's robe, called a Religious habit. Women also wear a nun's robe, nuns also wear a scarf, called an apostolnik. Do not buy chain mail, since it is much too heavy to be walking in.
The original Renaissance Pleasure Faire began as a fundraiser for KPFK (public radio) in Los Angeles, California in 1963. It helped to spawn a lot of show business careers, at those first decade of fairs you could hear David Crosby or other folk musicians, see the Firesign Theater or the Karamazov Brothers, mime from Robert Shields or Billy Scudder. By about 1969 the Agoura (first long term site in Southern California) RPF was just amazing. Drawing crowds of 23 to 35 thousand people each day, the crafts were amazing the acts were amazing the food was amazing. It actually grew up alongside what is now called the counterculture. If you were a hippy in California you read the Whole Earth Catalog, you drove a Volkswagon, you lived in LA or SF and you went to the Renaissance Faire. It was a very gentle scene. I'm afraid the author of this book never attended the real deal, only the gazillion commercial spin offs that so proliferate these days. By 1980, the Faire was over. That is a story for another day.
A good quick overview of what to expect when attending a Ren Faire. The nuts and bolts are clearly presented.
I wanted to learn, high level , what was included in a "RenFest." What was in and what was out. Ian did just that! And, added a wee bit of humor. Perfect intro for a new, or curious Rennie!
An appropriately humorous guide to the RenFest experience covering music, crafters, weapons, belly dancers and pirates, food, and of course, codpieces and cleavage. The explanation of each topic is quite thorough for beginners (especially the definition of the years that constitute the Renaissance period), but the author's personal feelings and anecdotes make it worthwhile for the veterans as well. I read bits aloud to family members and friends with varying amounts of faire-going experience and they were all laughing and nodding in agreement! My only complaint is that it is much too short - I'm hoping for more, soon!
This is a good basic guide to introduce somebody to their first Renaissance Faire, and what to expect. The man has a definite sense of humor which makes it a very easy read.
