I went to a renaissance faire recently with some friends. We dressed up, drank booze, watched a few "shows", and wandered around -- it was a blast.
It's something I would have been mortified to admit to doing in my teens or 20s.
I've never quite understood the appeal of ren faires, mainly because I'm frugal and I always felt like there wasn't much to do except buy stuff. Reading your comment, I think there might be a key step or two that I overlooked.
It also helps to go to a larger one that also caters to adults. Some of the shows we went to were clearly not for kids.
Frankly, I don't need to worry about ren faires at this point; I'm going to get plenty of that sort of entertainment going to Dragon Con instead.
