Renaissance Festivals

Another fun activity for those who like to travel back in time. These fairs always appeal to me mostly because of the costumes I'm able to wear (I love corsets and my goal in life was buying and owning a steel-boned corset until I managed to get one myself). Now my new goal in life is to actually work at the Renaissance Festival closest to me at some point. Hopefully I'll get lucky and be able to do it the next time it comes around. But alas, therein lies the downside to the festivities. It only lasts for about a month, sometimes a little bit longer. Don't get me wrong, this is an improvement to the first one I went to which only last three weekends instead of about five or six. And the people who work at these things are always fun to talk to and spend the day with. For example, I found myself a very fine French gentleman on my last trip. Maybe it was my Fey costume that lured him in. What do you think? 

And the best part is, these festivals go on all over the country. There's one near me which would be the Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival, but according to my sources, there is also an even bigger and better one out near Philly. They constantly hire new people to be cast members so if anyone other than me is a total geek for these things, go and wander on over to the site and see what you can get.
