Ren Faire 2: Electric Boogaloo

[gg_crono]

In other words, I went to my second ever Ren Fair(e) on Saturday, and good times were had by all. This time, however, I brought my camera.

Funky band /w bagpipes in background, random people with gigantic turkey legs in foreground. Because you gotta have the giant turkey legs.

There were busty demonesses...

Knights(who, I am sorry to say, did not say "ni")...

Smiths...

And men with strange-colored beards.

I saw this bard in several locations, and yet I barely ever saw him move from one place to the next. Bards were the ninjas of the dark ages.

I have two swords.

There was a joust, but it was kind of lousy. After the knights were introduced, they just went back and forth doing their thing like robots. At the previous one, the knights started the match with a hefty bout of insults, fought dirty the wole time, and then after they fell off their horses, went into a swordfight. The victor looked to the audience to decide his opponent's fate. They all called for death. Now THAT is entertainment.

Kilt fight!

I never did ask what he was reserved for.

Me and my friends chillin' afore we shove off.

So yeah. Good times. I need to find me more of these things.

If I remember correctly, you should be able to actually embed those links into the HTML to show the pics. Of course, I'm lazy like that. My bad.

Wish I could go to these things though. It'd be great to meet up with people.

No real comment, just thought I'd drop a note saying how much I love your dresden icon.

Always nice to hear from another Dresden fan. :)
