The adven­ture today was all about the costume.

We went to the 17th Annual Ari­zona Renais­sance Fes­ti­val dressed in cos­tumes we bought on our last two or three vis­its to the Ohio Renais­sance fes­ti­vals. The Ari­zona one was at least twice as large, but I’d say they are equally enjoy­able. Lots of crafts (which start to become redun­dant), lots of food, and plenty of “shows” sched­uled at half-hour intervals.

After an akward moment while fuel­ing our car at a busy gas sta­tion, my ner­vous­ness melted away dur­ing our actual visit. There are too many other peo­ple dressed in strange cos­tume to feel weird. My out­fit was prac­ti­cally too normal.

All in all, we had a good time and will prob­a­bly make the trip again next year.
