Garlic At A RenFaire

# 2012 Northern California Renaissance Faire ## The Welcome Committee  ## The Rennies Two rennies make a discovery - a bulb is not a modern day invention.  Who said that Garlic and carrots don't mix?  ## Talent Everywhere The *Northern California Renaissance Faire* is a great place to discover what folks used to do without today's gadgets. What entertained them? Hanging from a tree can be very entertaining, can't it? It takes talent to do it this way.  Anyone can hold a stick ... but putting it somewhere to free up the hands for ale takes talent too.  Even if you just have rags, folks will watch.  ## What About The Pirates? We're not sure if Captain Jack's booty discovery is talent or not ... but when asked, > *"Hey Cap'n, why are ye wearing an eye patch?"* A true pirate answers, > *"Cuz I haven't got enough booty to afford an I-Pad!"*  ## Costumeless? Don't worry, you'll still have a good time. Plus, you can always purchase an instant costume on a stick if it pleases you.  There are three more week-ends left to enjoy the *Northern California Renaissance Faire* located [here](http://www.norcalrenfaire.com/info/index.html). Check out the remaining themes of the [Northern California Renaissance Faire](http://www.norcalrenfaire.com/themeweekends.html)

# Return Of The Laughing Rennies If you're missing a little laughter you probably will find it hanging out at the *Northern California Renaissance Faire* starting September 15th, 2012. Step back in time when technology was a little simpler ... when the only tweeters were birds and a post was something to tie up someone at. Here's a coupon to make your visit this weekend even more pleasant: [Two-for-one](http://www.norcalrenfaire.com/twoforone.html) See that guy on the log? Even if you can't decide what shoes to wear, there's still a seat for you.
