Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, beloved acquaintances, curious strangers, and annonymous stalkers....
For the past several years I have had a dream.... A simple, humble dream.... A dream of going to a Rennaissance Fair.... Dressed like Victorian explorers.... Who have traveled through time.... For the single, noble purpose.... Of socializing with Medieval people.... Because it would be fun.
To celebrate my birthday ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) jaborwhalky and squirrelmadness.
Because I thought it would be a lot of fun, I propose for a bunch of us to meet up at the Tuxedo Ren Fair on August 1st (that's a Saturday) and that we dress to the nines. Whether you dress like a Victorian time-traveler, a Rennaissance local, Steampunk mad scientist or in whatever else you would enjoy, please come and bring people to have fun! Dress up however you like, but be sure to dress up! This was the first meet up of its kind and will go strong for years to come.
The site for the Ren Fair is http://www.recfair.com/NY/index.php
Cheep tickets till July 24th get them here now! http://www.recfair.com/NY/index.php
The meet up time and so forth will be worked out on this LJ comnunity..
http://community.livejournal.com/timetravelpicni/profile

..SO WHOS IN?!?!

| Pubs |

I am interested for any information anyone has about families owning pubs/taverns in the 1860s specifically, but shedding light on any period would be fine. Also would the owner live above the pub with his family, sons etc. helping out? Please comment anything you can! |

| A Question Regarding Music |
[Apr. 20th, 2009|04:32 pm] |
Hi everyone! I'm really glad to have found this community since I love almost anything that has to do with the 19th century. I hope that questions regarding this period in time are welcome, and that someone can help me find an answer! :P
I was thinking of writing a story that will be set in the 1890's, and I was wondering if musicians played in pubs or taverns at the time. I know that musical instruments were a lot more expensive back then than they are today, but I'm wondering if they were so expensive that they might have kept people from playing in pubs?
Any help would be appreciated. :) |
