You would absolutely love it, SD.

Haven't been in awhile. Never had a bad time at a RenFest though.

It really is great. I always look forward to getting a turkey leg there.

I had a good friend who was a performer for the faire and did it for a couple of years. Said it was fun to raz people with the Old English speak. We haven't been friends since. Made me question a lot about myself as well..

I would love to go to one, but a really top notch one.

KC's is solid.

Had a blast. Did the queens's tea, hit up the jousting show, knocked back a load of Guinness, brats, fried cheese and pickles, great times.

Love the throngs of chicks dressed like mid evil whores or whatever....a great family event!

If you ever find yourself in KC in the fall, I will take you. What else do we have to do on the weekend in the fall (anymore) ????

Pete were you the richest, most well adjusted person there?

Mr Bread · « **Reply #15 on:** September 22, 2013, 05:38:37 PM »

I can't believe you didn't have a turkey leg. I looked up images after Dlew mentioned them. That's number one on my list if I go to one.

sys · « **Reply #16 on:** September 22, 2013, 05:42:41 PM »

turkey legs seem gross. i'd want a chunk of medieval ast's meat, if i were to go.

I find the turkey leg to be quite lordly and not gross.

I gave it a run!

I almost went with the Turkey leg...but the kids think they are gross (their stupid ketchup covered fries are really what's gross!!!!! STUPID KIDS!)

If you are a true badass veteran, you have a wooden mug that you carry around with you and have refilled with booze. I think that they give those pro's a bigger draft pour, but I can't prove it. I do not have one. They cost a bunch. I just drink out of the plastic cups like a stupid tourist nobody.

So many chicks show up dressed like midevil whores, it's remarkable. Like whore versions of gypsies, fairies, pirates, etc... It's like Halloween (which I also obviously love the crap out of).

even the mention of renaissance festival has my olfactory receptors tricked into smelling patchouli oil

Guys, I worked there directing traffic when 14 and 15. I have seen the seedy underbelly of this place and dispel any and all that needs it. Have questions? Shoot.

I was particularly pissed at the Ren Fest folks for jamming up I-70 and all the other ways to get west of I-70/K-7 on Friday evening.
