Omg first off the guys turning around to look at u when the and called out for “cottagecore” is so precious 😂😭 this was such a blast!!! Come back soooooon!!!❤❤❤ (also the emotional part on the first day with the band….i cry 😭)
So fun to see your time at the colorado ren faire, I'm glad you made it despite all the problems! It's been a month since I was there for the first time and miss it still (especially miss the mead 🥲) The Craic Show was my favorite part. The energy that show brings with people gathering, cheering, and dancing together is so AMAZING to experience in person and the band LOVES what they do, you can just tell! I'll be tuned in here for the haul video! ✨
Never thought I'd see a medieval mosh pit ☺ Looks like you guys had a blast despite the car snafu. Everyone's outfits were amazing. TY so much for sharing the Colorado Ren Faire, I've been curious about it & now I know what to expect (at least it wasn't triple digits hot like it has been here)
omg i loved what you wrote during the first Craic Show🥺 i’m so glad everything turned out okay with your trip and it was an absolute joy to meet you!!! i hope that we can do it again someday!!💖
I absolutely love your videos, I've been having a rough time lately and you, your husband, and his twin made my day. I'm sorry you had a rough start of it, but I'm happy the days got better for you. Thank you for being so darn entertaining, I love the energy you all had. ❤
I'm glad you got to make it and have fun after all! I can relate to the Ren Faire car troubles. On the way back to Wisconsin from the Minnesota faire, my car broke down on the highway and we were stranded in Ren garb at a kwik trip (a Midwestern gas station). I laid on their lawn and cried until help came. 😭 Sending you hugs and wishes that such a thing never happens to y'all again 🤗🙏✨
It’s so fun to see what different people’s experiences of the fair are. As a performer there I only see what I see, and it’s so fun to get to see what visitors see!
Oh what fun (after the rocky start!) - looks like an amazing faire! Loved the dancing and fun at The Craic show, would love to see that! Reminds me of the concerts Nor Cal Ren Faire used to have on Saturdays at the end of the day - so much fun with the crowd, totally get what you meant. And I vote yes for a haul video!
So sorry to hear your trip was so stressful, but you guys made it and had a good time. Imagine, our government wants to force every single person to drive an EV. That will definitely be a crazy time. 🍄
Yeah and all the places to charge don’t work so it’s difficult since their range is so bad. The miles you have drop so quick. When we left the driveway that morning we had 60 miles but by the end of the driveway it went down to 53 and we had only gone a few yards. Wild! I learned though that the charging stations may have been tampered with, there is a problem where people are stealing copper wire or something, from what I was told (at least that’s happening in LA).
I wanted to! But we missed him. We would have been able to catch all the shows we wanted if we made it to both full days, there’s just so much to see at that amazing fair.
The music at these events is soooo awesome ❤Glad u guys eventually made it, that situation was massively sucky! I wish we had Ren Faire in the UK, I dont think we do?! I was also thinking about how much joy the band clearly gives people and I would love to see them. This video put a smile on my face and seeing everyone having the best time boosted my mood.
I am so very sorry all the car problems you had at the beginning of your weekend. I’m so glad it didn’t ruin your weekend and you ended up having such a lovely time. The ren faire crowd is so awesome ❤
What an amazing video. Despite everything, you got to enjoy your trip. I dare to say, it's one of your finest videos yet. Can't wait to see you have more Ren Faire adventures
Oh my GOD I was there that weekend!! I'm 100% sure I saw you but for some gosh darn reason could not remember your channel name!!! I hope you had a blast and come again!
Haha well if it’s any consolation, most people who come up to me just say “I like your channel!” but don’t actually mention the name so you could totally get away with saying hi, not remembering and I would never even know 😂
I was SO happy when you were finally there and got to enjoy yourselves!!, I weirdly got emotional even. I’m such a sap. Anyway, I love the music!! I actually know how to play that Irish jig in the background but don’t remember the name. Anyway, thanks for sharing!! I love your videos 🫶🏻
We’re heading to Colorado RenFaire this weekend! The first time I’m taking my daughter, she’s five and I made her the cutest wings after bingeing your how to videos!
Awee...i felt so bad for you guys at the begging...but it looked so much fun. Thanks for taking us along🤗. I've never been to one...maybe soon. Keep smiling 😃 😊
It's fun to see the patron-side of the faire! Also, bless you for the dandelion line 😂😂😂 glad you got to see Cy the sword swallower in the barney costume, that only happened that one weekend!
Oh I definitely get concert highs, especially when it's music that means something to me like Aurora! ❤ I'm so glad you felt this after everything! It's definitely a spiritual type experience,!
yess the colorado giraffe vine 🤌🏼🤌🏼 this is such a good vlog that captures the experience of the CO ren faire ;w; esp. the stuff about the craic show 🤎 well done
I was there when you guys were there, for Pirate Weekend. My first day was rough, too. Heat exhaustion nearly took me out, but The Craic always makes things better
What started off as a disaster, thankfully ended on a blast note. You're doing what I talked about YEARS ago long before social media, now that I'm old I enjoy going with you! No one wants to see a granny go to faire haha but then again...
11:58 This is why I love house dancing, but most people where I'm from just think it's drug addled youth culture partying when that is not at all the core value (nothing wrong with that aspect of it long as everyone is safe).
I totally relate with the car troubles. My battery went dead after I left my lights on when I attended the Casa De Frutas Ren Faire in the early 2000s. A lady on a horse showed up and was able to help me jump start my car 😂
As someone who owns an electric car, it took us a couple trips before we came to expect half the charging stations to work. We love our car for short trips, but I usually take my gas car for anything real long and time sensitive. So sorry your first day has such a crappy start!
On behalf of Coloradoans everywhere, I’m sorry for your bad experiences with the electric car. There used to be a ton of charging stations - even in Greeley, you used to be able to go to the public libraries and find charging stations in the parking lot. Now, the only public charging station I know of in Greeley that works is on the university campus, and you need a permit sticker to park there. 😢
There aren't that many places to charge, but Walgreens typically has chargers. In more populated places, there's a Walgreens on a corner of nearly every neighborhood. Maybe not in a place like Larkspur, though.
We were staying in Colorado Springs and we went to about 10-12 different charging stations on the charger tracking app and all of them were out of order or gave us errors. We stayed in Castle Rock last year and didn’t have as much of an issue though it was still inconvenient.
We don't have these in the UK which I feel is a crime! I love your vlogs and was so sad at the beginning! I hated seeing you upset was so glad your friends helped turn it around for you! Please share what you got there xx
Glad you all made it . Sorry to hear about the stupid electric car fiasco /Thanx for the warning. I'm surprized you didn't get invited to an after party somewhere..... You guys looked so good.
Never ever ever go budget do you know that they actually check your credit before they let you have a car… bet you didn’t know that but yeah, Always go enterprise and you get points so you build up those points to a free rental. I actually had to rent with enterprise for an entire year out of my own pocket And I’ve never had anything but fantastic customer service always enterprise nobody else!!!!
Yeah we learned after the fact from hearing several people’s horror stories to never go with them. We did Hurtz last year and it was such a better experience. It seems anything is better than Budget. When we returned the 2nd car to the airport location it was still off the walls crazy town there. So many people waiting and like 3 employees, 5 at most. It seems they’re not well managed at all. Also we think they were withholding gas cars they had in the lot to pressure people into doing electric. Purposely making us wait longer. We specifically reserved a VW sedan because we own one and wanted a similar car to our home car but nooooo they wanted to push the EV. Kinda wish we had waited the extra hour and held out😭 but then again I wouldn’t have had that epiphany at the Craic show. 🍋
We were able to exchange it the next day for a gas car at another location closer to where we’re staying - as for a refund we are still working on that… they’re giving us the run around 😖 they already charged the full amount to my credit card…
@@DressMeUpScotty OH MY GOSH!!!!! I was literally about to rent a car from them for an upcoming trip and quickly canceled because of this post. Thanks for sharing your story
@@DressMeUpScottythanks! Makes me really miss folk metal shows :( last ones were in April when I got to see like so many back to back at various shows between fintroll, korpiklaani, tyr, dread crew of Oddwood, visions of Atlantis, alestorm. Month before was 2 back to back dreadnoughts shows then saw wind rose the next month. I hope some more get announced soon, waiting for eluveitie and ye banished privateers at some point.
Well the problem you had with the electric car, and charging is simply you have to understand USA is very behind other parts of the west in regards of electric car technology and society implantation. The village I live in here in northern Sweden has a pop of 300 people. And at the end of our apt block there is 5 charging stations just for the people that live in our apts. And if you go to the next few towns about 15 mins drive from here chargers are everywhere, like in the next town that has 25k people roughly you can not walk more than 5ms without finding a charging station. The ones for where you live are free as a resident it is included. The ones in town you do pay for but it is not much. Especially Colorado as I have lived there and it is a very intolerant, conservative and backwards state.
We are not intolerant nor conservative. I suspect you must’ve lived in the Springs during the Focus on the Family era but the majority of the people here in Colorado are very nice, friendly, and open minded (- we have a gay governor and legalized marijuana). We are also very progressive and have taken great strides towards future developments. I’m sorry there weren’t enough charging stations or even working stations. We do actually have a lot around town: at shopping malls, restaurants, universities, and other public facilities. While I can’t say they are all operating, I do know personally people who use them daily. That being said, I still wouldn’t recommend renting an EV here simply because you are here on vacation, not to find EV charging stations. We are not at that level yet where they are ubiquitous. And that should not be a burden on any vacationer.
You look like you had fun, you and your hubby and his bro. But this Ren Fest looks awful! Did they have any food from Renaissance countries? Or have any shows or anything showing the culture of the countries at all? A few of the shops, venders looked good but it mostly looked like mass produced generic things. I do not know, it seems like Ren or Medieval festivals have become rather watered down and lost any culture over there.
@@DressMeUpScotty I went on a trip with my sister one time in her Tesla. What an ordeal! When you stop to charge they only let you charge enough to the next charging station. We were driving from NC to Ohio to see our dad. Usually takes 6 hours. Took forever because each charge is 30 minutes. It was a freakin nightmare!!
22:08 I meant Sav but auto correct did me dirty and I didn’t catch it 😭
ALSO if you guys ever encounter those caterpillars at 04:59, DON’T touch them. Their prickly hairs can cause rashes and bad reaction which is why Ian has it on his walking stick (he found it on his hat and relocated it)
Thanks for the caterpillar callout!
I cry every time I see people enjoying themselves at The Craic Show. The atmosphere and community there is unmatched. I will NEVER miss their last show especially
Didn’t expect Barney to come back with a vengeance!! 😮
Haha he wasn’t playing 😂😂
Yes show us your haul!
Will do! ❤️
Aww, broke my heart to see you crying in the car. So glad you were able to salvage the trip. Yes, please show the haul!
AH that looks so fun !
Omg first off the guys turning around to look at u when the and called out for “cottagecore” is so precious 😂😭 this was such a blast!!! Come back soooooon!!!❤❤❤ (also the emotional part on the first day with the band….i cry 😭)

That’s why Hertz is getting rid of their EV rentals. They realized travelers don’t have time to charge the cars.
There aren't that many places to charge, but Walgreens typically has chargers. In more populated places, there's a Walgreens on a corner of nearly every neighborhood. Maybe not in a place like Larkspur, though.
