tartans.

We went this past weekend. It was crowded, but the heat was bearable. I liked
the caber tossing, and the Limey Birds and Bocca Musica put on fabulous shows.
I also got to see my first live bagpipe/drum corps. THAT was amazing and
overwhelming all at once. My boy got a picture of the look on my face when
they first started playing. :)

re44: why would you want to make claim to any particular
tartan?

It's part of the folderol in wearing a kilt.

folderol? Is that related to superstitious nonsense?

My son and I made it to the Renaissance Festival today. The jousting
was not too gory for him. ("Dad, why are they pretending to fall off
their horses?") There were many rides for him, costing $1 or $2 each,
and he loved them.
Our major expense was wooden swords; my son got a sword and shield, I
got myself a sword, and we got one for his brother.
He had a great time and is already plotting what he'll buy when we go
the next time.

re: way back there on the wench bodices-- *chuckle* talked to a good
lady friend of mine who does Greenwood here, and she informed me that
unfortunately, maximum cleavage was the historical idea-- in fact,
Queen Elizabeth had nipple showing (the painter just graciously
decided to cover it with lace in a portrait of her). The idea was to
show fertility.

Cleavage is one thing. Modern bras give cleavage.
Hanging OVER the bodice so that they look like two drooping bags is NOT
sexy or proper. They should be tucked into the bodice so that it acts
like a bra. This still allows for cleavage and looks MUCH better. :-P
Renfest was annoying and expensive, but I got to see my boy, and that
was the reason I was there.

Perhaps I should have clarified. But ah, it's all lumped into the
same strangeness.

Oops, it was today that we were scheduled to go. I got a call on my cell
phone while I was biking in Gallup Park... so I set a land-speed record
getting home, showered, grabbed some chainmail and headed out to meet up with
my friends and drive up.
Had a pretty good afternoon, got lots of compliments on my armor.

Oh, wish I'd seen you! I went today with Rhiannon and her friends (and
Griffin, in his stroller). It was my first time at the Ren Fest, and I loved
it. Even if I didn't see half of what I wanted to!

Should have some pics pretty soon. Especially...um...interesting will be the
"this is why I need more padding under the armor" shot taken after we got back
to the car. Serious waffle-skin. :0

I've uploaded the waffle-skin photo to grexergallery.net, might take a bit
to show up on the site.
