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 started laughing. "That's great! I'm like a pirate! No, that's not yours," he said to the Parrot, who was eying his Mac & Cheese (on a stick).

A group of Muppet Rats were mounting an expedition into one of the trash cans. And there went a Grouch in armor made from rusty trash cans.

"Hey look!" Robin pointed. "One of those strength testing things!"

"Those are aweome!" Jack agreed. "You go first."

...he may have been teasing.

"I don't think I could even lift the hammer."

"Oh. Well, then, I guess I'll go first." Jack waited for the crew and frog and anything else Muppety was clear before giving the target a hefty 'whomp' with the hammer. Nice! 3/4 of the way up!

"Well done matey!" the man running the game crowed. "Yer 3/4 of a man!" His grin was meant to show that it was all in good fun.

"Well, lemme show that I'm all man!" Jack said, swinging back the hammer and letting loose. Ding!

There was a loud cheer from everyone.

"Well done lad! Well done! Pick out a prize for any Lady ye should happen to meet. Or Lord if it be yer taste."

Jack picked up one of those big plushy animal things that could be a dog, short-necked giraffe, or a very ugly chimp. He was sure Naomi would love it!

The thing right next to it spoke up. It'd been sitting so still it could have been one of the prizes, but it was in fact, the Muppet assistant. "Fine choice sir."

Jack did a doubletake. "Thanks!"
