Not to be mean, but I feel like p.a. Renfaires gets it's over acted jousting from this movie just the announcers describing the knights. (Example)"This is the greatest conquerer of evil, it is said the devil gave him etc." And they use 3 tracks from elder scrolls oblivion also. But the movie doesn't ever go that far. Gotta love pa.

That's somewhat to be expected. While a renn faire / renn fest may be set in a specific time period, and have historical characters, it is generally accepted that you'll encounter elves, fairies, dragons, bawdy tavern wenches, pirates, and all manner of completely inaccurate people and shows. Some of the shows will often have jokes/comments directed at recent modern day events. It helps draw a bigger crowd, as the main goal of a renn faire / renn fest is to make money; they are typically owned by a business or individuals looking to make money as the primary goal.

Living History is a whole different type of event. While you can get a good sized crowd for them, the nature of the event and participants is entirely different from what you'll see at 99% of the renn fests.

I just don't like the asphalt ground or the joust. "HE FIGHTS FOR EVIL!!" And my god do I HATE (this applies to all Renfairs) when someone tries/does tap on your helmet. They have done that to my brother plenty of times. Oh if only I stood a bit taller, so that my sword may cut off their heads. I am sure that at least everyone on this site have witnest that. If not, then one day.

Welcome to the club.

Now wait until they start sticking refrigerator magnets on you when you're not looking. People have been threatening me with that, but have yet to actually do it. ;)

It's like a rite of passage for the armored individual. Maybe we should start giving out membership cards. ;)

Start our own stand. Educate and show kids real armor! Come on guys, a group of people in armor, how could anyone resist. Could even give out those cards.
Wait guys, i got it, when we see other people in armor stick a magnet on the helm to advertise modern chivalry/order of marshal.

We had a rather drunk patron ask something along the lines of why I was wearing my helmet and Lord Dane wasn't (we were just standing and talking) and the lady said something like "Is he going to cut your head off?"

But at least she didn't tap on it.
