renfaires are special, and it's not just because the stocks are awesome (now, you know where to find me! (⌒_⌒;))
but it's usually me paying some kind of admission fee so i can go dress up in an inappropriately-themed outfit, something i learned from my trekkie friends, like a tang-dynasty costume, roleplaying as the ambassador's daughter (and then getting put in the stocks for being a "foreign spy")
this time there's no dressing up at all, save for a specially made chastity belt... the guys with me are such awesome actors, so they really brought up the immersion pretty well and even better they were paying me this time
