Men in Tights
There are people in my life that dont quite understand my love for the Minnesota Renaissance Festival, so let me try to explain it.
WHY, do I really come out here.. it is NOT for the food, it is NOT because I like to get up at 5:45 am, it is NOT because I like to have black dirt up my nose and in my ears and places it was not intended...
So, why the heck do I go out there every weekend?
Reason #1: At the Minnesota Renaissance Festival, it gives me the opportunity to see some of the oddest, yet most creative outfits ever, for example: The Fairy Godfather.
Thanks to the Como Cottage for snapping this picture last year.
Reason#2: Well Carr certainly inspires me. Without Carr, I never would of been involved with this god-for-saken -incense burning -no shoe- wearing- kind -of -place to begin with or fallen in love with such a misfit crowd of entertainers.
So I "think" I am enternally grateful to him and am thusly inspired because hey, where else can you see your co-worker constantly bump and grind the picnic table like he is on Soul Train and be as obscene with a garbage bag as he is, without being escorted off the property.
Reason #3: This is a face that makes you want to keep coming back, just to see what in the hell Butch will come up with next.
He IS one of the funniest guys ever (not to mention he is covered with tattoos, hubba hubba) This is just for you Orley!
Reason 4: I know really REALLY cool people that do incredibly stupid things with fire!
One of the first reasons why I started coming back to the festival many years ago, was because of Johnny Phoenix (dont tell him that) and his act AT THE TIME was amazing and I was truly enamored by the whole thing.
Reason 5:Lastly, I know the King! It IS all in who you know.!!..!!
See, you thought, it was going to be because of the men wearing tights.. well there IS that.. but that is NOT the reason... ohhh no! The reasons are simple my friends, good times, good friends, memories to last forever..thats all!
There you are my friends..if you didnt understand before or were totally confused, hopefully you are really confused now and even more disturbed by my involvement.
The last four pictures were taken by Chris Nash (Master Aquarius)... and pulled from our MRF friends website... so thank you Chris.

You know, it' something that grows on you, I think. The first time I went, I thought it was just. . .weird. It gets more fun every year. I could stand and watch people throw rotting tomatoes at that insult-hurling a-hole for hours. That's my favorite. Surprising that I would like that, I know.
Hey, I'm just finishing up making Kelly a blog of her own, to appease her for having ordered her to remove herself from that smarmy myspace.com bizness. You can find her at http://www.polkadotpie.com
