Ren Fair Pictures

Yeah, I remember that. I wonder how much stuff (shoes, watches, coins, etc) might have been permanently lost in the mud that year. Boy, the faire had a rough start those first few years.

Kind of a funny story to go with that....

Once as a GP for Her Majesty (Jen)... we (court) were strolling around the village when she suddenly stopped and whispered....."my shoe is gone" ...we started looking back and she said..."no..it's gone, gone"..the mud sucked it right off her foot and we never found it!...had to kinda carry her back to the grove......

Cheers,

Haha, yeah I think I remember hearing about that actually. My girlfriend is on cast, so I sometimes get some interesting stories.

Oh, to continue this thread's theme, here are my photos from TRF in 2006, that I posted in another thread, but is more appropriate here:

I don't have many pictures from the renfaires in the 90's (and probably none from the 80's), but here's some from the VA faire in 1998:

   




And VARF in 1999:

     


And PARF in 1999:

Man, the blue in my leather doublet was still bright back then!

In some of those pics, you look like you were half the man you are now.  Alas, that is probably true for many of us with pics 10 years old or so.

[Sir Edward]

Yes, that was about 25-35 pounds ago.

At least the doublet still fits.

And it's not even made of spandex.  Good on you.

Well Rosemary and I had a great time at the Great Lakes Medieval Fair in Ohio
this past weekend. Here is a link to some of the pics.

We met so many nice people that we both reconsidered our opinions of last year
when we considered the patrons of the fair to be a bit stand-offish because that
certainly wasn't the case this year. There were a bunch of guys in armor and quite a
few of us got together at one of the pubs. A good time was had by all and the weather
was perfect. It did get a bit toasty on Sunday and I greatly appreciated the new riveted
aluminum mail because it was so much lighter and cooler!

Hope you all like the picts! The Sterling, NY fair opens this weekend and we will be going
on the 19th & 20th. 

[Sir Edward]

Hey, great pictures! Glad to hear the new mail is working out well.

I don't think we're going to make it to Sterling this year. We did talk about Tux though, but I'm not sure on that one yet either, especially with our Pennsic trip coming up. We'll be hitting PARF on a specific day later in September (need to check the date, it has to do with some friends getting married).

Yeah, those VARF pics from many years ago show us both in quite a different light.

Oh, check out the "collage" sort of thing I stuck on the front page. Probably could be better, but I threw it together pretty quickly: http://modernchivalry.org/

[Sir Brian]

That's cool! 

[Sir Edward]

Glad you like it!

Here's some more old shots:
