So Cal Ren Faire - Page 5

As for the PG-13 "tone down" rumor - it's verified. One of the Poxy Boggards said they were to keep it at the level of Sound & Fury's "Testacles and the Sack of Rome" or lower. And "Testacles" is a theatrical spoof just full of innuendos, most of which children don't understand anyway. So, there won't be the NC-17 stage with songs like "Bang Away Lulu" or "Good Ship Venus" now.

Too bad they can't make this a more adult event. That was the most fun part of it. Perhaps there should be a faire more geared towards family and another more adult oriented?

There already is a "family oriented" faire that runs the same exact weekends as this one. It's out in Corona, and is also MUCH less expensive so that families can afford it.

The "corporation" that runs the Renaissance Pleasure Faire is being absolutely stupid by "scouring the shire" with this toned-down nonsense, just because they want to "make more money". I don't see why the NC-17 stage could not stay in a sectioned area, and have a beer garden or such. They would have made a fortune! And now, they'll lose business...... and LOTS of it. Already, about 10 friends of mine who frequented the faire every year are refusing to return and have written letters as to why.

They've also lost a lot of faire participants and vendors due to the site screw-up, and they'll lose a lot more, because the info was just released that there will be NO after-hours events allowed at the new site, and that the premises must be vacated by 7pm each night, and that participants can camp about 15 minutes away at a seperate lot. Without the afterhours events, a lot of participants will bail. And it wasn't "bad" stuff - mainly shows - we had to name a few: The "Electrical Parade" (people/pets/cars/things wrapped in xmas lights and parading through the dark to the *real* soundtrack), The Gong Show, various concerts, etc. It was the main perk to working faire. And they killed it. The stupid corporation has officially killed faire as far as I'm concerned. *sigh*]

Somebody got a big fork?

With the reported "cleaning up", you're not too far off.
