Oh that ladder he's standing on? It's about 10 feet tall. And yes, those torches are on fire. I'm telling you, if you live in the area and don't get to this fair, you're really missing something. There's still two weekends left!

1 Do they have meade at the Ren Fair? I may be coming to NC for Thanksgiving, Ft. Bragg area.
How close is it?

2 Oh yes, they have mead! But the fair ends the 18th, so you'd have to come early. It's an hour or two (I think) from Ft. Bragg. I'd say it's worth a few hours' drive (Google maps calls it 2 hrs 45 min -- but 109 miles).

3 Wish I could take the week off, but I'm starting a new job the week before. It's going to be me making the marathon trip there and back in the time alotted if you get my drift.
Last Ren fair I went to was in Ohio. Not a bad weekend trip.

4 I know that feeling well! Well, maybe you'll get back down this way next year -- this fair goes on every fall here for 7 weekends.

5 That would be outstanding and I should have some vaction time by then. :-) The perils of starting over. I've been contracting for about 4 years so now it's a "real job" time. LOL!!! Gotta haircut too!

6 Hehe. I know that well, too -- I've been in a "regular" job for years now and I've got a couple recruiters trying to talk me into going back into consulting!

7 The plus side of consulting... the money is awesome, but the down side... you pay dearly for bennies, and no paid time off. I'm looking forward to a normal job.

8 True, the money is usually good. And heck, you don't need benefits today -- the Democrats will take care of you! I just go to the emergency room for all my needs and tell them I have no SSN. They don't seem to care.

9 Use a little chemical tanning lotion and talk with a hispanic accent too! Yeah, if I have a hard time making it with out the extra money... I'll just contract again and let the Dems take care of my healthcare!!! LOL!!!

10 They'll take care of it whether you want them or not soon enough...
