I am obviously only speaking for myself here, and as much as I like getting dressed up, I am really really shy around people I don't know. I like acting but I am no good at improv, so when someone I'm not familiar with approaches me speaking in an awful fake-accent, a thousand things are going through my head - "What do I do?" "Should I respond in an accent too?" "What if he wants money from me?(I usually have an idea of what I want from faire and how much I'm willing to spend)" "Is anyone watching me?" "Oh god, are those drunken morons over there laughing at me??" "I think my corset is too tigh-::faint::"
So, it's alot of pressure being put on you, when these people who do this every year, and have alot of regular jokes and skits they put on come up and ask me to sing along when I don't know the words. And that's for ME, someone who desperately WANTS to belt it out, but can barely even manage a feeble hum.
So how much can you expect from the regular folks who won tickets off the radio, or clipped coupons from the Penny Saver and are just looking for (mostly) wholesome weekend entertainment sans the bubetube?
