Ren Faire...

[fajrdrako]

I've been wanting for years to go to a Renaissance Faire.

Does anyone know of one that is in some part of the word that might be reasonably accessible to me - eastern or southern Ontario, New York State, Quebec, maybe even Michigan - ?

Or any information and suggestions at all?

The last such thing I attended was twenty-five years ago, and in England.

Funny - "Chicago" doesn't sound so far away, but Wisconson sounds like the ends of the earth.

I believe that technically, Montana and Wyoming are the ends of the earth, but Wisconsin is close. Chicago is the center of the universe, though.

Remember how medieval maps used to put Jerusalem at the centre of the world, and everything else around it in a circle? Chicago is like that.

All places beginning with "W" are very far away, even Wawa, Ontario.

And places beginning with "Y" or "Z" are the scrag end of nowhere. LOL

Yukon? Zanzibar? I think you're right...

Chicago IS the center of the universe. That's not far from me either. Let's both go there, fajrdrako.

I'd certainly like to! I wonder if it's possible...?

I've been to Chicago twice. :) For me, it's a short plane ride or a long train ride. I just hate traveling alone. I suppose I could force myself to do it someday and then love it.

I've been to Chicago... I'm not sure. Five times? And through it a few times. I've been by car, train, and plane. I like the train best, plane next... It's a very long drive, even if you go with someone who drives fast.

The drive from where I am is faster than the train ride. It's just crossing Michigan by car, on a highway, but by train they stop ALL THE TIME.

My favorite would be plane.

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I love planes. Come to think of it, I've been to O'Hare a lot more than I'e been to Chicago.

A plane ride from Detroit to Chicago is like twenty minutes and you basically take off, level off, and then land. :)

I've actually never done it before, but I've heard that and I think that's neat!
