I live a short distance from Sterling Forrest, a large and well repected RennFaire and I visit it several times a season. By and large I find the people who perform at this faire seem to run true to type with other faires. The knights are arrogant and full of them selves. The serving wenches and lackeys are usually nice folks who take their paying gig very seriously. The mimes are a pain in the ass, which holds true down through the centuries. The crafters, which I go to see, are there to make a big buck in small time and usually are uncomfortable in Elizabethan kit. The food is good the ber is great and usually the music is outstanding. Lately there has been a group from The Poisoned Elves crowd showing up who get belligerant when told to check their weapons at the gate. These are people who have a poor grasp of the tenuous and really need some mood enhancers..
