The faire!
Tried on a 23" steel-boned $300 satin corset and very reluctantly took it off. Petted an ox, played in the rain, and picnicked. Got sunburned shoulders, a splinter and a smoky quartz.
It was a lovely day.

Bah! Ours doesn't come until march.
We need a photo of Mike with chain mail and a battle axe. Or at least a walking staff and a flagon of brew!
nerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrd!
Are you going to Pennsic next week?
You haven't lived until you smack your best friend in the back of the head with a turky drumstick whilst shouting, "Huzzah, and twenty pounds for the King!".
Brass
Had a nephew that got married at one of these in Colorado, a real great time was had by all.
When I was stationed in Southern California I used to go every year to the Faire in Agoura, at the Fox Ranch. They had semi-permanent structures there and it purported to the be the largest in the world. In any event it was tremendous fun, although for years I resisted going in costume because it seemed ridiculous.
Then I broke down and put together a costume (helped that I got my hands on a two handed sword). It was even more fun, by an order of magnitude.
Yoiks, and away!
Huzza! Hope it was fun, y'all got a good day for it! Makes me want to hunt up some mead...
Where did you keep the Bersa?
;)
heh funny thing about those places about half the population is well armed and people get along just fine.
Robert - Mike does not attend the faire. He dislikes it so much that he used to pay for my friend's ticket so that he wouldn't have to go and I wouldn't go alone.
TBolt - pot, kettle.
less - I took the Smith & Wesson .38, model 642. It fits nicely in a purse (I don't have a thigh holster)
Steel-boned, eh?
Is that from the medieval torture chamber or the medieval boudoir?
Or both?
Y'know, I'm convinced you and Falnfenix would hit it off instantly if you two ever met.
I thought Mike couldn't have gone with you, since you took that off before you got home...
