Great Day at the Kansas City Ren Faire
« on: 2014-10-12, 19:19:16 »
The squires and I made our annual trip to the KCRF yesterday. Weather was 62 and sunny! First run with new surcoat. Going to adjust my besuges (I'm wearing them, but under the surcoat as they messed with shoulder seam too much).

 I swear I must have posed for 80 pictures (and one sketch). At one point, people were waiting in line!  I also met 3 other armoured knights (a first for me). I told them about the Forum so hopefully we will see them here one day.

62 degrees in Kansas City, you lucky dog.  The kit is looking very sharp!   :)

Thanks!  And I am a lucky dog. It poured down rain all the next day. Good thing we were driving home at the time!

The new cotte looks really sharp on the kit! Can't ask for better weather either!
