Right. That's why I put "period" in quotes. Fer crying out loud, there ain't nothin period accurate about KRF, and that's not a bad thing. I mean, privies ain't great, but their a damn sight better then an open pit!

Merchants at a Ren Faire ARE actors...no script, but we are part of the show. That was one of the things I fell in love with 10 years ago at SoCal. You actors (characters and villagers)Are the largest part of the "ambeince" (I know, I kan't spel) but It breaks down if everyone don't do it. I hit SoCal this spring, and everyone was in garb...from royalty to trash monkeys...I caught only a couple of Particapents out of accent...and their booths were empty...

Particapants...there's the key word. It's misspelled, but It still is key.

BTW, what I have been saying here comes from Both a Boothie and a Playtrons perspective. I get an hour a day, where I become a playtron...Dammit I want to enjoy that time! I want to forget that there is world besides for faire...escapist.

There was a wedding performed at KRF this season. The thing I noticed was that the management directing the particiants were not in garb, they were in shorts and tshirts and not even KRF tshirts (let alone rennapalooza tshirts). How does management expect patrons to experience a "renaissance village" when the 21st century keeps seeping in the cracks, and management has created most of these cracks.
Food vendors used to dress in garb and hawk their wares but not anymore. I guess they figure you are still too stunned by the price you are paying for the food that you do not notice the garb......
