Spain has their August Vikings, and we have our Zombie Walks or Burning Man furniture fires. Different forms of grown folks having a little fun. We used to have the Renaissance Faire in Novato, were the vendors dress in the medeval style and stay in character all day long.Back before the recession.
I think the reason the ten fair went away is that blackpoint, which was a perfect place for it, got turned into housing.
Man, I miss it.
I went to a Ren Faire yesterday. I think I like the Viking thing better than the zombie thing.
