This past weekend we worked at the Silver Kingdom’s
Renaissance Faire
First, this is a LARP-based faire so people
were shouting and running back and forth in costumes carrying boffer weapons.
But we had some renfaire staples there; Merry Mischief Diabolis In Musica
, Rufus
the Beggar and Ed the Wizard . The weather was hot on Saturday (but nothing
compared to NJ last week) and it was misty on Sunday and that’s *my* ideal
weather. Diabolis had great
news-that they will be working every other weekend for King Richard's Faire
We were especially lucky this weekend for our
website because one member’s girlfriend is a professional photographer and she
got some nice shots. For now you have to settle for mine..LOL
Gallery for
Silver Kingdoms.
We had some people express interest in
joining but we are leery of martial artists and LARPers because they are
trained TO hit (that’s true of Historical people as well) so we’ll see how that
shakes out.
I was happy to see Crystal and
she came and kept us company. Her Mom cracked me up with all her shopping, then
a drive-by to leave off bags and start again. :)
I made arrangements with Storied Threads
to rework a bodice and make a new one. My husband left a deposit to
have a custom gambeson made and various Phoenix people bought items!
We
were at the back of the faire (by request) and it turned out to be one of the
best places to be. We got to see the culmination of all the action and the
storyline (the LARP) We look forward to seeing the big battle and it was just
and fun and raucous as we expected with dozens of monsters, healers and
warriors battling!
