About MRWS

So... how can you be sure you've got Maryland Renfest Withdrawal Syndrome? See if you answer "yes" to any of the following:

* I sometimes dream I'm at the festival.
* The taste of meade or ale makes me wistful.
* I read histories of the time to brush up on my authenticity and Shakespeare to work on my vocabulary.
* I drive down Crownsville road cause it's only an hour out of the way, and I've got to be sure nothing's going on behind my back.

If you answered "yes" to any of the above you're a MRWS sufferer. However, if you answered "yes" to the last item, you're beyond our help. You need a psychiatrist. Now. I mean NOW. Get up from that keyboard and call for help. Eliza doesn't count.

The Maryland Renfest Withdrawal Syndrome site was established in 1995 by me, Regan Avery. This site is in no way officially associated with the Maryland Renaissance Festival. So if you don't like something here, that'd be my fault, not theirs.

Twelve Step Process

Ready to overcome your addiction? Just try this twelve step process.

With apologies to Alcoholics Anonymous. I'm not trying to ridicule 12 Step Programs here.

Step 1. We admitted that we were powerless to resist the pull of the Maryland Renaissance Festival and that our lives revolved around the weekend pilgrimage to Crownsville.
Step 2. Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves is not automatically invested with Divine Right just because he looks really cool as Henry VIII.
