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!

The thing in the jar looked left and right to make sure no other patrons were around before it allowed itself to break character.

The placard said it was a gremlin.

"I'm a Muppet Monitor Lizard." he said with an Australian accent. "Just smaller than most." Pause. "Plus some makeup."

She grinned. "The school we go to has gremlins living there. I haven't yet personally seen one, but what I've heard, your make up is doing a good job."

(how ironic since I nearly ran one of those over the other day lol)

"It does look good." Robin said. "The ones I saw had bigger ears, but I doubt many people here would have actually seen one."

[heartflames.livejournal.com]

"Probably not," she agreed. "You saw one? Back at school? I thought they bit whoever spotted them."

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"I actually hung out with some once. They didn't bite me but they did give me this drink that had the same effect."

[heartflames.livejournal.com]

"Interesting. Do you happen to know why they feel the need to go around biting people?"

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"I wrote a thing about it for journalism class. I'll have to find it."

[heartflames.livejournal.com]

"I would love to read it," she smiled.

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"It has something to do with getting people to not take themselves so seriously."

[heartflames.livejournal.com]

"That's an interesting way to look at it, I suppose. Though I doubt most of the people who had been bitten by them would feel that way."

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"Well clearly they're not learning their lesson."

[heartflames.livejournal.com]

"Perhaps." She doubted those people would see it that way either. "It's certainly an interesting exhibit."

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"It's very well done too." Nice and spooky.

[heartflames.livejournal.com]

"Yes it is," she agreed. "Should we get a bite to eat next?"

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"That sounds good." Robin nodded. "How about a gyro?"

[heartflames.livejournal.com]

Eleanor looked a bit confused? "Gyro? What is that?"
