Ren Fest is a shortened term for Renaissance Festival, shortened as thus because nobody on the internets can remember how to properly spell Renaissance. It's an event for people who wish that they lived at least 100 years ago. It is a haven for roleplayers, since this is the only time of year they can get away with dressing like seventeenth-century whores and homosexuals without being accused of being whores and homosexuals.

Many Renfest enthusiasts, in addition to dressing in seventeenth-century garb, also buy suits of armor and/or archaic weapons that they claim proficiency with. Some of the more dedicated even make their own armor, though they are universally considered lusers. EternalTanelorn makes his own chainmail armor, even though he does not go to renfest. This is because he is too much of a basement-dweller to even go to Ren Fest.

The only reason to go to Ren Fest, other than being a nerd, geek, luser, basement-dweller, or furry, is so you can eat over-sized turkey legs and watch grown men knock each other off horses with sticks. At Ren Fest you can also buy horibly overpriced things which you'll realize when you get home are completely worthless. There's no way you'll get your $200 back, so you might as well try to find a use for that steel-spiked leather codpiece you bought. Perhaps it could be a cupholder.
