If you can post a pic I'd love to see that.  I imagine it's quite nice.

On topic Dragon, the fair here had some pretty good craftsman, I'll dig through some old files and see if I have any contacts.


In Ohio.  We've been going to the one here for 9 years, never dressed up, but I picked up a real nice pair of boots while in Tennessee last week, now it's time to get the rest of the garb.

Surely you can just patch together some old rags and go as a peasant.

You could even cobble togther a cart and go as the "Bring out your dead" guy.

They have medieval parties here:


It's very beautiful...been there.

If you want to see lots of medieval armour etc....



A bit of a travel, Lithuania and Poland, but both are very interesting ;)

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Yes, we ALL love Monty Python. But nothing annoys the hell out of gamers more than newbies who have to come in and make the same damn quotes and jokes over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over....
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

I like to think of them as Cleavage Faires.

Arizona has a great Ren Fest in February through March. Lots of great shows and the food / drink options are pretty darn good to. I have been to about 4 different festivals Tenn., KY., KS. and AZ. and the best is the AZ festival.

Don Juan and Miguel, The Tortuga Twins, Dead Bob, Zilch the Tory Steller and Hey Nunny Nunny are some of the regulars there for shows. It's a great day but you really need to spend 2 there as there are just too many wonderful and funny shows.
