Kansas City Renaissance Fest 2011

I took my wife and two of my boys to the Ren Fest this weekend.  We had a good time--this was the largest fest we've been to, and there was plenty to do and see. 

Oh, and what a freak show! 

It's hard to understand what motivates a person to don a pair of fairy wings to go out in public, but there were plenty of "faeries" to be seen...and knights...and wizards...and other "period" characters.  If nothing else, it's a great place to do some people watching.



The KC Ren Fest has more entertainers to see as well.  This guy, John, has been performing for 28 years at this Ren Fest.  He's a local resident--and a court investigator for Johnson County during his day job.  Regardless, we all enjoyed his show even if seeing a big, hairy, shirtless guy in tights is a little off-putting.  Here are some highlights...

Girls Are Pretty

This video is over a year old now, but man, it makes me laugh. It has so many memorable lines, like, "How much do they cost, like, 3000 yen?" and "Dude, you're a wizard!"

I wish I could take credit for all of the talent displayed in this work of master craftsmen, but alas, I am responsible for none.
