Kinda like LARP, don't freak the normals.

Um, Actually i think the proper term for those who aren't part of the Renfaire community is Mundanes or Muggles.

PASTIME WITH GOOD COMPANY

Supposedly written by Henry VIII

Pastime with good company
I love and shall unto I die.
Grudge whoso will, but none deny,
So God be pleased, this live will I.
For my pastance
Hunt, sing, and dance.
My heart is set
All goodly sport
To my comfort.
Who shall me let?

Youth will have needs dalliance,
Of good or ill some pastance.
Company me thinketh then best
All thoftes and fantasies to digest.
For idleness
Is chief mistress
Of vices all.
Than who can say
But "pass the day"
Is best of all?

Company with honesty
Is virtue, and vice to flee.
Company is good or ill
But every man hath his free will.
The best ensue,
The worst eschew,
My mind shall be.
Virtue to use,
Vice to refuse,
I shall use me.


Frequently sung at Renaissance faires.

Always sung incorrectly.

I mean the guy is dressed in furs and chain mail and has a big axe across his back looks like thor meets the hells angels. Can you imagine the looks this guy must have gotton on his way there? At least he was wearing a helmet.

With horns? Now that would be a sight.

For some reason, Hard Rock Hallejuah came into my head then.

I went to my very first Ren. Faire this year in Pennsylvania. What a blast! We too, saw a mud show... "The Muddy Wives of Windsor".
One of the mud guys did a huge bellyflop into the mudpit. He then asked the people in the front row if he got them...they said no..so he flung mud at them!

I also love that vendors could be rude to SC's. One booth had an urn labeled, "The ashes of Problem Customers."

Another favorite at a sword booth; "You MUST be 18 years or older to handle the blades, no matter what Mommy and Daddy say."

I so look forward to going back next year!

Every year this travels via highway.

They take the rigging down, of course, but otherwise, it's a pretty recognizable ship. They get some looks and some questions!

Not quite RenFest, but still funny.
A local paintball place was holding a 'Dawn of the Dead' event-people signed up as either Survivors or Zombies, and costumes were encouraged. My friend and I both signed up for the Survivor side, and went to town on our costumes. I don't have the pictures, but the costume was pretty impressive and scary. My friend has a big-ass and battered (torn, dirtied, fake blood strewn about) overcoat, combat boots, cargo pants, a t-shirt, a military surplus helmet and a facemask that had an old gas mask attached to it (Some modifications had to be made to get it to mesh nicely with the mask). I was wearing battered camo gear, a set of web gear and combat boots. We were both carrying impressive-looking markers (Tippmann A-5s modded out the demon-hole, with stocks, mock clips, laser sights...the whole works). And we had to walk down the street in this getup.
Needless to say, we got the oddest damn looks like this. A cop stopped us, and I don't blame him, but once we demonstrated that the markers were safetied and unloaded, he let us go on.
