My harness is better than those on the jousters there. I couldn't walk ten feet without somebody stopping me and asking if I'd pose for pictures with them. Sometimes, I even got kissed by (more or less...) cute chicks in bodices...

It's fun to do that. It's also fairly easy to have a better looking harness than a jouster--if you don't joust. But that doesn't make you any less of a rock star at the faire. Plus, as a paying guest, you have the right, even the duty, to drink to a good buzz in a way that faire workers cannot.
You have been sadly misinformed, Squire. That is exactly the duty of Faire workers...
So, where they hiring???
When your time comes to die,
be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death,
so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time...
Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home."
That is a nice looking kit. And I too, often get asked to pose for pictures, but usually it's little ol' ladies & kids....the kisses are so infrequent as to not even be worth mentioning!
Sorry it took me so long, Thomas. I just this week learned how to upload photos. Hope to see you at Kris Kinder this weekend.

I enjoy "buzzing the Rennies" as well - we have a substantial ren faire nearby every summer, and I often show up in my "only-sort-of Crusader" outfit: butted mail hauberk, coif and heraldic surcoat, boots and a longsword. I make some of the staff nervous, I think...but really enjoy posing for pictures with folks.
I went to the Ohio Renn. Faire dressed as a Crusader, and one of the 16th C. ladies said "My, you've certainly been gone a long time, my lord"!
I used to live in a room full of mirrors; all I could see was me. I take my spirit and I crash my mirrors, now the whole world is here for me to see.

On stage, I make love to 25,000 different people, then I go home alone.

I'd rather people show up dressed as Crusaders than "gothed-up" pixies or 18th-century pirates...

I wasn't frowning upon the crusader, rather praising the actress. The pixies do bother me a bit unless they are cute then they just bother the wife. The klingons on the other hand...[/img]
Well, I'd better not tell you about the two stormtroopers asking if people saw any droids . . .
Oops.
It was actually pretty funny, one of the workers perked up when they mentioned an "emperor" and I caught them pointing to the sky a few times in their conversation. Historical? No, but funny.

Darth Charlemagne, and his apprentice, Darth Maximillian?
Trying to learn derivations of field equations from a lecture is like trying to learn how to paint by watching Bob Ross on PBS.
