The Crossroads of the Aether
OK, I'm just going to say it. I'm tired of donning the same old wench look at the SoCal Ren Faire year after year. For the past couple years, I've done the tribal belly dance thing instead (there is Traders Market after all...) But now I have this great Victorian dress that just doesn't get enough use. So I don't care what the queen might think, I'll be wearing it on opening weekend.
I was just wondering if there are any other RenFairers here (yes, I'm pretty sure "RenFairers" is a word) who are planning to go rogue, too ... <insert mischievous grin>

I think that our SP garb does less to "taint" the atmosphere than the civilian clothing.
It is a pity that the staff there has not welcomed us the way Dickens on the Strand has.
If I were in the LA area, I would join you.

Geez, I did not get the Star Trek thing, either. I am a Treky from well, the first Star Trek, I have even met George Takie and William Shatner.
First thought of this was more a Hitler, neo-noxie thing, but certainly not a Star Trek. The last Star Trek movie and the whole dark Romulin look does not count, it was a bad leap into what is not Star Trek.

Permalink Reply by Adelaide Thymble on July 1, 2012 at 12:06am Awesome news! This year, the KCRF will be having an official steampunk weekend! It's on September 22nd and 23rd, it's dubbed the Threads of Time weekend, and while steampunk is the last description listed, it's a start.

There will also be a Dr. Who wedding that Saturday and there's apparently a steampunk costume contest.

Has anyone set day for the steampunks this year?
