Ren Fair Pictures
Das Bill:
Sir Brian,
I really like the Teutonic kit! I think you should go with a slightly different helmet, though... a barrel helmet, or a sugarloaf without the visor, seem more appropriate. (But that's just me trying to get other people to buy cool new stuff, as usual. :) )
Sir Brian:
Bill,
Thanks! I know the helm isn't really quite right but it is a nice change from always wearing
an enclosed helm. Besides, I figured it could be considered as one of those evolutionary dead
ends for helms during the transitional period. ;)
Having said that I of course will always be on the lookout for better! After all I have to catch
up with all you good sirs! ;D
Sir Edward:
Hah, and I'm still trying to catch up with you with getting my charges painted up. :)
The good news is that, unlike the Templars, the Teutonic knights continued to exist for quite some time, and probably would have had a substantial range of equipment over the years.

Here are some pics of the Sterling Ren Faire we went to last weekend with a good friend
of ours.~ I'm the lucky guy who got to escort the two lovely ladies...er, Fairies. ;D

All in all it was a very nice fair, which we will definitely visit again next year.
The food and beer was great and the people were friendly and the entertainment was fantastic,
most especially the "Flying Freak Show" - Very funny.
The only negative I would say was the prices of the merchandise.
Saturday was pretty toasty so no armor and Sunday was frequent rain showers which
turned the parking field into a quagmire, hence me not wearing all of my harness…I didn’t
feel like spending several days chasing after all the rust! What armor I did wear was well
received since I hadn’t seen anyone except the jousting troop wearing armor the entire weekend
and they didn't mingle or interact with the patrons. :-\
At one time I picked up a hitch hiker, a moth liked my torse so much it stayed on it for over an hour…
I figured he/she/it couldn’t eat that much!
Another note of interest we learned from some of the local regulars is that faire was under new ownership
which allowed weapons for the first time in like 17 years, so they were happy about that.

Oh, and I'm sure you hated every minute of it! :) I'm glad to see you had a good time! I liked Sterling. I only went once, but it seemed like a nice faire.
