Renaissance Faire

Had a great time at the Renaissance Festival with denis77, axiom_of_stripe, ellen_fremedon, and uschickens.

I had never been to one before, even though we've lived here for five years. It was really lovely. Three of us got there around noon? We shopped, threw some axes, and ate some fried things. ellen_fremedon spent some time choosing a fantastic new hat that is very her. Then uschickens joined us. We listened to the Rogues perform (awesome). There was more shopping (earrings! necklaces! herby things!), and three of us spent a lot of time trying on costumes (guess which three). After waiting patiently for a while D. and C. went off to listen to some more music. There were more food breaks. We tried on tiaras (again mostly three of us did this although we all admired the dragon items). We saw a jousting tournament (awesome! one guy was unhorsed), and three of us took an elephant ride! It was a fantastic day. Great friends, incredible people-watching (codpiece with sparkly man-thong?), fun activities, a good Sunday afternoon.
