On Saturday, July 16th, I decided to try out
one of the "other" Renaissance Faires. It seems
there are quite a few of them occurring at
irregular intervals in Southern California. I
had so much fun at the Southern California Faire
this year that I thought it would be cool to
check out something different.
I decided to keep my costume simple this
time. Just a red shirt and a hat. I had no idea
what to expect from this faire, and I didn't
want to spend any significant time or money. I
just wanted to have a good time at the faire.
 A
friend and I left my place at 5:30am, stopped
for breakfast, then headed up to Moro Bay
(actually midway between San Luis Obispo and
Moro Bay). It's almost a four hour drive, even
at that time in the morning, and I wanted to get
there as the faire opened. I've found the the
opening ceremonies of faires can be quite fun.
This faire turned out to be quite a bit of
fun. It's nowhere hear as large as the Southern
California Faire (held in 2005 in the Santa Fe
Dam Recreation Area), but it has a charm all on
it's own.
As usual, the faire has it's share of pretty
ladies. I especially liked this woman, as she
had a very pleasant personality and dressed very
brightly. I thought her selection of colors for
her costume was quite dramatic.
The picture to the right is me, petting a
gopher snake. I love snakes, and this was an
especially friendly critter. She tried to crawl
up my sleeve a few times but I wouldn't let her.
