Other sites I visit regularly.

California Art Education Association
Cafe Press
The Food Network
Etsy (this is kind of like ebay, but it is for all things handmade and creative)
Dragon Marsh (Great shop in Riverside where there are all things Faire)
Alter Years (similar to Dragon Marsh but in LA and with more patterns; between these two, you should be able to find almost anything you need for faire)
The Renaissance Faires of REP
Play Faire Productions (They took over Northern Ren Faire and are attempting to make a new and improved version at Casa de Fruita)
Toads and Arrows (To be found at Southern Faire as well as Northern and a few other places as well. Wonderful people [some of whom are friends and some family] and shade and mead)
Backstage Jobs (Not only do they list backstage jobs, but you can also be listed in a database of technicians)
The Costumer's Manifesto (This is just a fabulous site, especially for costume history)
Gypsy Den (There are two, one in downtown Santa Ana, and one in the LAB. Fabulous food)
Craigs List
Cal Stage and Lighting
1001 Free Fonts
Yeti Sports (I fell in love with the Penguin Thow, but there are lots of other fun/addictive games to be played)
Bloody Penguin Toss (So wrong on so many levels yet also addictive!!!)

And these are just some wonderfully random sites.

What Kind of Cat Are You? I'm a Bengal
Which Rubber Duckie are You? I'm an Emo Duck
"9 Naked Men"
Diet Coke & Mentos Experiments
Animator vs Animation
Faire Purity Test (Last time I checked I was 27% FaireFolk Pure, but I suspect that will change after another season out there)
