Ah, the Minnesota Renaissance Faire. The largest event put on by Mid America Faires. These are the same people who do King Richards Faire and the big faire in Michigan.
It's one of the largest and oldest in the US - it's over 30 years old.
It's also the home of Puke and Snot - a grand comedy duo, and Vagabond (who I'm listening to right now), and a fabulous song mistress, Mistress Bawd - yes, that's right. She sings "naughty songs." From there, most of those folks have gone on to the greater ren faire circuit.
I also used to work at the MRF. I worked at the Children's Trilogy of Games. It was a ton of fun, and something that I miss. Though, truth be told, I don't have that much time anymore. *sigh*
In the summer of 2001, MRF was also a center for the Midwest Morris Ale - where I first got a good sight of more than one morris team at a time. It was the first time that I realized that it could actually be fun. The weirdest thing is that one of the teams that I admired then is the team that I now belong to.
