Boyfried wont come
I want to go to Faerie Con so unbelieveably bad but my better half says its to far away. We live on the west side of Ohio. How can I convince him that going would mean the world to me? And be worth the drive?
P.S. we have to drive becuase I dont do air planes!

Re: Boyfried wont come
you can tell him that people are flying from other continents to be there. also that it is the largest gathering of this particular genre of the world's greatest artists and authors, and that the energy of such magical people all in one spot might raise his vibration for the rest of his life, thus lengthening his life span and enriching his overall quality of life! yeah! yeah! and he may meet the queen of elphame and she might give him super powers, then he could fly and he would never have to worry about driving long distances for the rest of eternity.
if that doesn't convince him, well good luck!

Re: Boyfried wont come
I have been living w/my husband who respects my intrestes but does not share them. Some times you have to agree to dissagree. Two diff people can come together and have seperate intrests.
Im gonna try to go. Ill probibaly bring my 11 daughter. Id love to bring my hubby but we also have little kids.Plus he would feel awkward. Its a 6 hr drive for me.
He goes to his own gambeling trips al the time. I would go with him, but its not really my bag.
Also..there are guys out there that like this kinda thing, but not many. If I ever lost him I would deffinately find one who does. Good luck!

Re: Boyfried wont come
i imagine anyone who comes expecting to feel awkward and out of place, will be unexpectedly swept up in magic! that's cuz w're magical people and we make sure it works!!!!

You could always trade him in for a newer model.

Re: Boyfried wont come
I sort of feel your pain. I am not seeing anyone at the moment and am trying to decide who to drag with me for the event...lol. I do not think anyone will be into it. My friends are very fun, but I am the "faerie girl." It is so hard to find others that appreciate the same things I do...thus me on this site. Good luck with your b-friend.

Re: Boyfried wont come
hey, i got an idea...don't worry about "dragging" disinterested friends to the event. just come and experience what it is like to be surrounded by thousands of people who love and remember the realm of faerie....

Re: Boyfried wont come
I'm with Indigo on the gambling man thing. He goes on trips to do that all the time. I don't go unless it's nearby, and then I am very supportive. I don't ask him to go on my Fae adventures either. He would rush me through the vendors, he has no idea who the Frouds are, and laughs at me (playfully) in costume. I still go. I just go solo. There are MANY, MANY people there, and you're bound to run into someone you can hang out with. My friends aren't exactly into this either, so if worse comes to worse, you can run the Masquerade with me. This will be my very first FaeCon, and I'm going solo, all-out in costume, and LOVING IT!!! LEAVE HIM AT HOME!!!

Re: Boyfried wont come
The Dragoncrone says: You are not siamese twins. My first hub unit never wanted to go to events with me, so like a dutiful wife i just sighed and stayed home. Well! After he left, I vowed never to let any future partners hold me back.
He's a big boy, he knows where the remote and the fridge a re, let him stay home! Go -- and have a 'Fairy Good Time.'

Re: Boyfried wont come
I'm sorry if your significant other doesn't want to come and is keeping you from dressing up. What a pity. I say get a costume anyways and dress up.
Guess I am lucky, since it was my hubbers idea to attend this years faerie fest. He and I don't always see eye to eye on things, but he supports me in everything I do and thought this would be a fun thing for us and our family.
Good Luck!

Re: Boyfried wont come
My boyfriend will be attending on Saturday, without costume. I wanted to make him some armor in hopes that it wouldn't look too, well, mortal-made and cheap. However I have been so caught up in trying to make my own costumes/wings(going Sat and Sun) that I just couldn't get time to cooperate, silly mortal time! Have Fun! That's th most Imp-portant thing!

Re: Boyfried wont come
Bring a friend that is interested. Your boyfriend will ruin it for you. He will be complaining the whole time. Bring someone who is into dressing up, playing the part, and having fun. Your boyfriend will probably be relived that he doesn't have to go. If he won't let you go alone, then dump him and find someone less insecure and more open minded.

Re: Boyfried wont come
Leave him home. I leave my hubby home for Faerieworlds and take the girls. We have a blast and he gets all the time for activities (gaming) with the boys! Everyone wins!
Good luck!

Re: Boyfried wont come
I never understand why this comment comes up so fequently. This is the highlight of my whole family year. Th magic that happens at these events is limitless. The people and non-people you meet are unlike any elsewhere. Although, it is like coming home to a tribe of like minded souls. Be strong to journey alone life is to short to go un-lived. You will be happier for the trip. blessings- Luna Rana

Re: Boyfried wont come
I have been going to faerieworlds and their faerie related events for the past 4 years now....sometimes with friends and sometimes by myself. I found that going alone was as much fun (if not more so) since I could do or not do whatever I wanted. There is so much magick, and so many amazing people, one is never alone at faerieworlds. And for those who choose not to dress up.....I've seen many people who start out the festival in muggle clothing and end up horned and adorned before the festival ends......the magick has a way of rubbing off on people. Looking forward to seeing everyone there!
Faerie Hugs,
Anarae

Re: Boyfried wont come
If he doesn't want to dress up just have him wear all black and if he chooses to add a few things later it will all look great. I'll be there alone (first time!) my sweetie is working sadly.. I'll be vending too (first time!) so you can come sit with me BUT the advice of leaving said boyfriend home is not such bad advice. In the past I have been with people's friends who go and sulk or sigh loudly or won't move to the music, say they are tired, bored hungry, this is boring/stupid/poke fun, sit sullenly in corners and say can we go now? You want to come have fun not be made to feel like you are forcing someone into something they don't want to do. He will probably come and go crazy and have a wonderful time anyway and you'll be pulling him away..

Re: Boyfried wont come
I am glad you are makeing the trip! Long drive - but beatuful country to see. If you have the time & $ you could tie in some shows along the way. IE: 4peaks in Bend, OR the weekend before, and NWSS at Horning's Hideout in OR the one b/f that.
BTW - you dress up like a fairy whether he does/want's to, or not. Do not let him keep you from embraceing what you are traveling for. Maybe bring a cape or somethings for him, so he can play when he wants to.
Dance as if no one was watching ........

Re: Boyfried wont come
if i ever make it over the sea to FW or FC i will be going alone and i am perfectly happy to! i have NO like minded friends in england and although my husband is extremely supportive of me (he even put up with an enchanted forest/faery wedding!) i know he wouldn't enjoy it = meaning i would be worried all day about him. he doesnt want me travelling alone (not bothered personally) but i would LOVE to go alone! so many friends to meet, i wouldnt mind at all! and i agree with Luna Rana about living life!!! xxx
