[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 1161366, member: 5100"] This has been my experience at the Minneapolis RenFest, as well. Of course, the constituancy of my "party" has changed quite a bit, too. First the "guys from college", then throw in 5 marriages, 2 divorces, a handful of kids, and a potpourri of extended friends and family members who have come and gone over the last decade or so. I don't really have a problem with people going in "civies". Like someone else said, they're where the money is made, and they really don't detract much (if anything) from the event. [i]I[/i] prefer to go in garb because it makes me feel like more of a participant. That, and carrying a sword around is just kinda fun.:D Also, shopping for more [i]stuff[/i] is a blast, especially when I get to talk my wife into leather pants. About the only thing that annoys me is that we've still got one or two "hold outs" in the group that go in jeans. Over the last couple of years, the rest of us have started picking up "accent colors" and such so that we look like an actual company rather than a ragtag band. But then we've got this guy in jeans hanging around with us. Has anyone been to both the KC Ren Fest and the Minneapolis one? Any comparisons? We're pretty much equidistant from both (in Iowa), but picked the MN Fest arbitrarily. If KC is better, we'd certainly go there. Also, does KC allow swords (sheathed, of course)? I know some don't, and when pretty much everyone owns a sword -- my household alone has almost $1000 in steel and accessories -- we aren't going anywhere that won't let us carry. [/QUOTE]
