Not nearly enough mud and shit.

So, instead of being responsible, I went to the Maryland Ren Fest today. It is huge. Huge with a capitical HUEG, as a lolcat might say.

The comedy routines that I was told were must-sees by my friends were so-so ish, but I got to gnaw on a roast turkey leg, lookit all the pretty pretty garb, and buy a stamped-coin bronze pendant. I was very tempted to buy one identical in pattern to the bronze pendant I bought Chris for Christmas way back when. (Phoenix on one side, Chartes Labyrinth on the other.) After much thought, I went with a 'Tree of Life' on one side and a cool supposedly norse lightning pattern on the other. Sure, I *could* have gotten a dragon, but...there will be more times later.

I'm still kinda wondering if I should have gotten Phoenix and Lightning. But I liked the combination of Tree and Storm. The symbolisms interlock well in my head, and mean something to me.

So. That was the Ren Faire. I should probably mention one more time how huge it was.

Envious! Despite coming from the UK ive never been to a Ren Faire, i guess because we dont actually have them here...I dunno i guess we dont celebrate our past as much as other people do!

I guess we have things like Morris dancing days, and (english) civil war re-enactment, but its not really the same as the fantasty style that ren-faires seem to have...i guess in the UK it would be regarded as too cheesy and unrealistic.

Shame, I really wanna see what one is like!
