Summary
Venture forth with Julia and beautiful Lady Garros on their noble quest to the Renaissance Faire, where Nick donned a full chest plate and even the turkey legs demanded a tithe. After ranting about ye olde ATM’s and how capitalism ruins everything, the binchies travel back in history to the first Ren Faire of the 1960’s to understand how a radical gathering for communists and hippies turned into the multi-million dollar business of today. Plus, an eye-opening interview with two iconic Ladies of the Faire, Olivia and Lev, who provide the inside scoop on what it’s like to be a Rennie.
Digressions include Nick healing his East Coast trauma with DIY, A tragic yet colorful incident at Lowes , and a much-needed bead update. You can find our beautiful braidstresses, Olivia Rose on Instagram @viastvincent and her ceramics Instagram @ohroseceramics and Lev Leveau on Facebook<3

Yes, literally Phyllis put her hair in a bun and she handled it. She got there and she was like, the fair is educational. I don't know how educational it was. The pleasure being twice as large. The pleasure being twice as large. It's for education. But there's this funny story where I guess police and riot gear stormed the fair, only to have their chief recognize one of the organizers who was dressed as Robin Hood as his old war buddy. Oh.
