What more do you need on a sunny Saturday afternoon?<BR/><BR/>Cranky Cindy and Happy Cindy are both proud geeks.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05835474647542190752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864334.post-1159069197342850972006-09-23T23:39:00.000-04:002006-09-23T23:39:00.000-04:00I hope you had a blast.

So far I have been to a Ren Fest in 4 different states (Maryland, Virginia, Minnesota, and Iowa) and I have to say Maryland is the best of that bunch.UUpdaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11760554842376249263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864334.post-1159060962945136392006-09-23T21:22:00.000-04:002006-09-23T21:22:00.000-04:00What's so geeky about Ren Faires?

We've gone to the revived original the last few years, but this was the last.(they gave up) We still will attend the Dickens Fair at Xmas. I have friends who have booths at the fairs, so that adds to the experience.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
