My weekend at Faire *Ren Geek Alert*

In honor of Easter I went as a monk to Scarborough Faire.

I wasn't a good monk.
I became a drunk monk.
The staff I'm holding is hollow.
It holds liquids and has a straw.
I was drinking lemonade and Strohs Rum.
Strohs Rum is butterscotch flavored.
And 160 proof!

People expect monks to be holy and good. And catholic! Has no one heard of Druids?
When I bought the robes I was telling a friend about being a monk for faire and she suggested I go on-line and make it official. In fact she "double-dog-dared" me, of course I had to! I went to The Monastery and legally became a Druid Priest. (you can buy any title you'd like; Pope and Saint were too much to live up to though, lol) I can legally perform marriage ceremonies!

Here are some random pictures from the faire:

The accordion player was a hottie! The violinist is a friend.

Most cool....but I don't think you were really re-living the time of King Henry VIII, hah! Sounds like a good time. Did you have your way with any of the maids, eh? Or perhaps a herder of goats, perhaps?

You look so cute, but where are your tights? I have the ssame outfit in black! I wish my staff was hollow.

not so scandalous
some monks have the job of making wine and other boozy delights.

Well, if it were the time of Henry VIII, he didn't have much use for monks. The English Reformation, and all that. But don't worry about the details.

Bless me brother, for I have sinned . . . . .
