The Renaissance Restival was a smash! I probably loved every bit of it. For those guys who are in relationships, this place is like a strip club that the entire family will enjoy. That's a separate issue. No pictures were taken because of the expense it cost in order to buy the film there and neither Matt, Andy or I thought about it before we got there. There were a lot of leather shops there, or should I write "shoppes". Anyway, the parade was full of weird people and keep an eye for the guy with a long feather. He likes to tickle people. I was hit on the shoulder by some girl that said I should have warned her of the guy after he tickled her leg. I think she was just flirting with me. But alas, I controlled myself. Or maybe it was the fact that she walked over to her boyfriend. On the control aspect, Matt and Andy will probably have different stories, but believe mine because it's straight from the horses mouth and I never lie. I don't want to give too many details of the place away, but bring lots of money because you'll want to buy everything there and wear tennis shoes because it's a lot of walking. The shows are great and funny, the customs are great [although seldom historically accurate, I beleive] and the accents are fake, but from the heart.
