That is a particularly good picture of my sales booth, the one that I dismantled and put into a container. As far as I can tell, it is still okay....though you never know about them carpener ants! It might be a mobile feast for them. The fellow in red playing Cardinal Wolsley is Richard, and the boy is now a full foot taller than him! Brenda is looking particularly tempting there in the middle! That Ren Faire closed down, a replacement faire, the "Royal Abingdon Faire" ran for many weeks with limited success in Hamilton Ontario. I keep thinking about starting something here in Ottawa. But then, I don't have the money to do it myself, and honestly, there is a real big difference between running the thing and just attending the thing! If there is interest, I can see doing it, but I don't want to go broke creating a campground with all these medieval buildings on it that nobody bothers coming out to!
The Ren Fair here in Ohio is awesome. The buildings and everything stay up year round, so whatever organization does it must have purchased the land. It is open every weekend for two whole months, and is always packed, so I assume they make a good profit.
Yeah, the Ohio Ren Faire is pretty famous. I tried to get into it a few years ago, but they said that they already had a sword merchant or two, and at that time, I wasn't doing as much armour. Now, I guess the armour has to "take off" or I will be looking for a position punching fries at the local Burger Queen.
If someone builds another Canadian Renn Fest I would go and maybe even camp out and work (just not open a booth because I have no skills or wares that people would want to buy. Umm, that is, skills or wares that people would want to buy that I could legally sale... even in Canada...) Anyway, showed Mom the picture and she was amazed and amused.
Oh, and I've always liked the philosophers' song. Do you know that one that goes:
It's fun to charter an accountant and sail the wide accountant seas ?
Ovonia Red, those were a blatant rip off from some other person's blog....which I did because I knew he had ripped them off from somewhere else! I have been in various University pubs over the years and heard people singing it, and honestly don't know if it is in the public domain or not. The second song, I am pretty sure is...I had only heard it once, and that was being sung by Eric Idle when he was being crucified at the end of one of his Monty Python movies. (I would know which one if I had been anything other than pissed when I watched them.) Is the "accountant's song" from the "Crimson Mutual Assurnance", the rogue insurance building which broke away from staid simple existance to sail the seas to plunder and pillage?
Pirate...If you need material you go right ahead and use mine...I always figured that anything I wrote here was going to be "public domain" in any case. When I borrow from other people (Like I do a lot!) I always try to credit the source, and I suggest for that stuff you go to where I got it. If it is all mine, well, you go right ahead and use what you want. Don't damage my good name. (any more than I have already...)
Zlanth, If I was to inherit a campground,I would make it into a Medieval Faire, and call it Camelot. Actually, I have some ideas on that, though this probably isn't the forum to go into them, but it would involve ale halls, beer tents, horses, pit roasted pigs, archery, story telling, and tournaments. There would be several small ones rather than one central huge one. And there may be one coming to a cornfield near you! (dreaming in technicolor this morning!)

Nice!
Are there any that you can recommend anywhere in Ontario?
Philosophers song
Immanual Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table
David Hume could out consume
Schopenhauer and Hegel
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel
There's nothing Nietzche couldn't teach ya
'Bout the raising of the wrist
Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed
John Stuart Mill, of his own free will
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill
Plato they say, could stick it away
Half a crate of whiskey every day
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle
Hobbes was fond of his dram
And Rene' Descartes was a drunken fart
"I drink, therefore I am"
Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed
A lovely little thinker
But a bugger when he's pissed

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.
Some things in life are bad,
They can really make you mad,
Other things just make you swear and curse,
When you're chewing life's gristle,
Don't grumble,
Give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best.
And...
Always look on the bright side of life.
[whistle]
Always look on the light side of life.
[whistle]
If life seems jolly rotten,
There's something you've forgotten,
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps,
Don't be silly chumps.
Just purse your lips and whistle.
That's the thing.
And...
Always look on the bright side of life.
[whistle]
Always look on the right side of life,
[whistle]
For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word.
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin.
Give the audience a grin.
Enjoy it. It's your last chance, anyhow.
So,...
Always look on the bright side of death,
[whistle]
Just before you draw your terminal breath.
[whistle]
Life's a piece of shit,
When you look at it.
Life's a laugh and death's a joke it's true.
You'll see it's all a show.
Keep 'em laughing as you go.
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.
And...
Always look on the bright side of life.
Always look on the right side of life.
[whistle]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistle]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistle]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistle]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistle]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistle]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistle]
Always look on the bright side of life!

Always look on the bright side of life!

I'm thinking it would take a lot of land to make a proper campground. Then all the various permits and the like.
I'm sure the interest is there. Hell, I would have gone years ago if I'd have known about it.
Are there any other people like-minded about resurrecting it?

Yes, you are one of those I would like to get a short story from. Cool pic.
