Today I went to the Renaissance Faire. I go every summer, ever since I was little.
It is a retreat in the woods, an unbelievably campy world unto itself, filled with dragons, knights, maidens, fairies, jousts, and revelry.
And disgusting friede faire foode.
Also, ponies.
I saw a dragon...
...pyrotechnics...
...and faire-goers decked out in all their bizarre finery.
This is a scene from a half-hour, two-man production of Hamlet. That's his father's ghost, couldn't you guess?
The highlight for me was a production of Lysistrata! It was exactly as filthy as it should have been. Here is a naked Spartan woman intimidating the old Athenian men.
Myrrhine and her husband. Yes, that's what you think it is.
