My ticket has been sitting cheerfully in a big ol’ pile of mail since last Friday. I’m still trying to figure out what skirt and boots will go best with my corset, though. Or maybe I should wear pants… hmm. Ah, well, I’ll figure it out. I’m excited. 😃 ---

I got my ticket, and ironed my ruffled shirt. See everyone there tomorrow morning. ---

I am ready as well. Ben, if I can get my lazy self out of bed on time, I may actually make it there by 9:45. My parents have offered to play with/spoil their grand-dog for the day, so I am no longer constrained by the doggie’s requirements. See everyone tomorrow 🙂 ---

That’s good of your parents, **Pandora**. I’ll look for a long-haired blonde in a corset. Oh – a _specific_ long-haired blonde in a corset. I’ll send you my cell phone number. ---

My faire costume has a mostly green overdress, and I’ll try to remember to leave my hair down since it does make me easier to spot. I’ll see you tomorrow. ---

All systems are go for me tomorrow. I’m aiming to be there by 10:45. Will **Supervenusfreak** have a rose between her(?) teeth for recognition? I’ll be wearing a white top with blue embroidery around the neckline. Longish dark hair if that helps any. It’s not all that big a deal if I pay full price, but discounts are always nice. So thanks! ---

> [@twickster](#): > > **SVF** is a he – and once you meet him, you’ll realize why I’m sitting here giggling like a freaking maniac. I knew I was taking a chance, but I figure 50/50 is good odds. And I certainly think anyone called **Supervenusfreak** can pull off a rose. And I don’t recommend giggling like a freaking maniac in an office or cubicle. It gives you a bad reputation. Of course, if I was trying to get people to leave me alone while at work, that would certainly be a method worth exploring. ---

Don’t worry… I should think Twick’s coworkers would be used to the giggling by now 🙂 ---

Well, I’m no longer a Faire virgin! We couldn’t find **Gillian** , though. A very nice day seeing performances, lovely ladies, the occasional odd costumes and laughing at stupid human tricks. The group of us were enjoying a bit a shade and a cold drink while discussing a few recent threads. A somewhat inebriated gent who’d plopped down at our table overheard the word “Doper” and spoke right up to share his smoking herb with us. Kind though his offer was, we declined and headed over to the pirate auction. Not being greatly interested in their collection of scimitars, the wench in a blue velvet dress caught my eye, but sadly, she was not offered for auction. _Darn my bad luck_ 😃 Great idea to have a Doper outing at Ren Faire-thanks, **AntaresJB**. ---

Yes it certainly was! So sorry we missed you there **Gillian**. I did miss the rose bit, but not much else. Certainly not the lusty pirates for sure! Jayjay and I really enjoyed ourselves, although we did have to cut it short. The only thing I did miss was taking a picture with **danceswithcats**. ---

The bawdy shows were a hoot too! Loved every minute of it. 😃 ---

Just for that I am going to take tango lessons before the next Gettydope. I do a mean dip! I was just informed that we may have been at the wrong fountain Gillian. I am very sorry about that. ---

I had plenty of fun, guys, though my feet are killing me and I’m not sure if my ribs have popped back into shape yet. 😃 Thanks so much for coming. It was great. For the record, I was unable to convince my ex-boyfriend to come help me try out those new handcuffs tonight. I swear the boy wouldn’t recognize a hint if it bit him in the ass. ::sigh:: ---

Testing to see if I can post a [sideshow of my photos](http://photobucket.com/albums/v404/supervenusfreak/renfaire/?action=view&slideshow=true). I must note that there was a problem downloading the pics and Jayjay was accidentally cut out of one of them, the pirate one of course! :smack: [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pa-ren-faire-dopefest-in-october/315255.md?page=4)
