The Maryland Rennaisance Festival

[robinthefrog]

Huzzah! My Lords and Ladies welcome to the Revelry! Also, avast me hearties for it be Pirate's Weekend!

We download and copy,
and bootleg and hack,
drink up me hearties yo ho!

We've used limewire and napster
and bit torrent too,
drink up me hearties yo ho!

Not that kind of pirate? Oh.

But no matter! See folks in costumes ranging from steam punk, to rip off's of pirate movie block busters! From anally authentic renaissance garb, to...three mustketeers? And was that one of those aliens from Galaxy Quest? The hell? Corsets and kilts galore!

Eat wonderful food like steak on a stake! Massive turkey legs that cost way too much! Mac and cheese, or even soup on a stick! No I'm not kidding!

See amazing acts like the Medeival Babes, The Limeybirds, The Rogues, Puke and Snotone of the Mun's favorites, and Hack N Slash!

And lest we forget, JOUSTING! Where it's more about WWE type crowd riling than about actual jousting. Carnival games! A museum of the bizarre and the mysterious!

Corsets and kilts! And pirates!

And of course, the shopping. From decorative knick knacks, to costume pieces and ornamental weaponry. From wood carved furniture to armorers to family coats of arms.

And did I mention, Corsets, Kilts and Pirates?! Huzzah!

[Mun is now very sad that he can't afford to go this year. Open to all, students, townies and faculty. If you've ever been to a Ren Faire, have at it and I'll toss in some NPC's to make it whimsical. And if you haven't, I will anyway!

Jack boggled. He didn't just hear that, right?


The knave persisted, proclaiming that his nuts were among the best in the land, the saltiest, and that people loved to put his nuts in his mouth.


Jack may have been blushing a bit.

Leda for her part was convulsing with suppressed giggles.

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Lil Sis, you want some of his salty nuts?" he asked Leda before nearly falling over.

The knave insisted that he had the biggest sack around, and dared Jack and Leda to compare his nuts with everyone else.

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

Giggling, Leda had to take a moment. "Are they hot nuts?"

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

He insisted they were, and asked the young maiden Jack did so not snicker if she'd like to place them in her mouth, as a sample.

Jack was busy snickering and generally being unhelpful.

Leda gave the vendor a saucy smirk, looked him up and down, and said that yes, she would be delighted. And if his nuts passed muster, she would share them with her brother.

Jack was laughing hard enough that his face was beet red.

The vendor winked and tipped his sack of nuts towards Leda, telling her to grab his nuts to see how they feel.

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"You have the best job here." he winked back at the vendor. Then the pickle seller walked by and was just as suggestive. "Except maybe for him." she laughed.

...The banter between the knave showing off his nuts and the pickle guy offering a discount for anyone who could take the whole thing at once may have broken something in Jack's poor poor brain.

Leda herself was wishing she had one of those video camera things.

"Oh, your poor virgin ears," Jack teased her.
