Ye Olde Ren Faire
Oct. 12th, 2008 11:01 pmEver been to a Ren Faire?
I went this weekend. It was kinda fun seeing all the jousting and people in the costumes. Some costumes were kinda out of place. There were two Samurai warriors walking around at one point.
I know...I don't get why. But they had very cool costumes!
There also was one guy dressed up as Link from the Legend of Zelda games. I thought that was a neat idea for a costume. And it looked really well put together.
I shopped around a bit too. It amazed me all the weaponry you could buy if you had the money. Alas, as cool as the swords looked, I didn't exactly have $3000 to spend on one.
Probably just as well. I dunno what I'd do with one.
Oh, and as to the question of dressing up? Well, I had a ruffled shirt so I wore that and some baggy pants that I wore. Okay, so I was a bit anachronistic with my chucks on, but hey...Ren Faires are hardly known for historical accuracy.
Not that I care or anything. They're just fun.
ooc: Yes, I actually went to one this weekend so I'm behind on tags and prompts. (I thought maybe Chuck would actually go to one so I figured, 'what the heck' and posted IC about attending.) Anyway, if I missed a tag or a journal entry that you'd like me to get to, please post here. :)
