Hey doreen...

2 hours north of montclair, nj, is prolly the faire at stirling forest in tuxedo park... NY.  careful there, dear,  we snooty new yorkers are very sensitive about being associated with joisey.  (as billy joel once put it in a concert... "i thought anything west of nj was west.  hell, i thought *jersey* was west!"

anyway...the faire at stirling forest is one of the biggest ones in the ny metro area, and i'm trying to get there this fall (hopefully i will finally have a car at uni and can actually drive places) -- anyone in the NY area planning to go? (yes, i know it's a month long...minor detail :-)

Abbie, who was at the billy joel/elton john concert tonight in syracuse and is on a post-concert high.  billy joel rocks!

  When I first started reading this thread, I had no idea what you were 
  talking about. Then, I realized you were talking about Renaissance 
  Faires ... oh! (are they always spelled with an *e* at the end? I 
  thought they would be spelled Fairs.

  Anyway, I went to my first and only RF in New Jersey, somewhere. It 
  was about a 2 hour drive north of Montclair, New Jersey. No clue, 
  really. I loved it! I also did not realize that all of the people in 
  costume were not part of the show. How interesting! 

  I have always enjoyed reading about that period of history. I have 
  always thought that I was a scullery maid in a former life. As a 
  waitress, I am not fairing much better in this one, I am afraid.

  I think there is an RF in Minnesota, and now that you all have 
  sparked an interest here, I may just have to check out where and 
  when. Is there a website for that sort of thing?

  Doreen, who would have to have a bottle-green dress just because.
