The more I did the circuit, the deeper I got into the sub-culture, and when I got shunned by a complete stranger because I wasn't wearing a particular pair of $400 boots, that was it for me. I stick to doing pirate-themed stuff now, maybe a couple of times a year.

Even though the average LARPer is entertaining to behold, I generally keep the ridicule to myself and leave them to their fun. The only exception to the rule are Vampire the Masquerade LARPers. They annoy the living shit out of me and I rip on them every chance I get, which is normally at conventions, though it's been awhile since I've been to one.

Someone snubbed you for not wearing Sons of Sandlar boots (I'm assuming that's what you 'weren't wearing' because they're about that much per pair and pretty popular with people)? Wow... The last ren faire I was doing blacksmithing at I was wearing a pair of combat boots and no one said shit to me...probably because I was always within arm's reach of a hammer and red hot piece of metal...and a table of sharp, sharp knives and such.

I got out of the ren faire scene for similar reasons, though. The people are way too elitist when it comes to fashion and whatever...like a buncha New York Metrosexuals that went back in time, and they don't know how to 'shut it off' in public.

I don't have a cat. I'm allergic to cats. I keep telling mom to buy hotpockets but she won't listen.
