In Costume

Throwing Darts at King Henry

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.

    Thanks Lance. I was won­der­ing what the spelling of that word was. Every­one says it and I couldn’t quite fig­ure it out. Now I can look it up.

    How fun. CJ and I went to the Ohio Renais­sance Fes­ti­val a year or two ago and had a great time. Though we did not have the courage to go in cos­tume. Nicely done.

    Did they have a rov­ing insul­ter? They had one a the Ohio ver­sion that was hilarious.

    AJ,

    You should see some of the looks I get when I go any­whare in my rev­o­lu­tion­ary war stuff, I have two now one is a Con­ti­nen­tal uni­form and the other is a mili­tia uni­form (kinda like a woods­man) peo­ple at gas sta­tions, stores all stare.… I think I’m imune to it now.
