1. Shirts/Bras optional. Extra small bustiers on large women preferred. (we went on 'homeschool-days' I can just imagine the scenery on normal business days)
2. Take shower once a month whether it's needed or not. Share your unique scent with the crowd - it's all part of the festival experience.
3. Dreadlocks and tattoos were very popular in the middle ages
4. The turkey legs were soaked in nitrates
5. Crude humor is used to sell every trinket.....don't make fairy wings weird people, especially when I am buying them for my innocent daughter.
6. The people of the renaissance were incredibly wealthy. Seeing as mouse trap marshmallow shooters are $35 and spray painted panty hose fairy wings are $75
7. Children eat this stuff up. The knife juggling, 'butt' humor, jousting, medieval torture chambers, rotten tomato throwing, falconry, face painting, henna, hair braiding and bungee jumping (what?! bungee jumping?? yep, anything to make a buck it doesn't have to be authentic)
Walking to the car my oldest was talking about what he'll do when he comes to the festival next year. It involves marshmallow shooters and metal jousting helmets. Keep in mind he saved up a whole year to buy the sword and shield he purchased today.
Oh joy of joys, I get to go back.
