This Treasure Box Wednesday-- as based on an action-packed weekend, where houseguests took center stage instead of Ye Olde Thrifting-- I thought I'd share with you a few pics of the Greater Pittsburgh Renaissance Faire.Here we have the pre-joust parade...
...Gosh, I knew kings tended to have swelled heads, but this is ridiculous!The theme this year took a distinctly Tudor track, and so you see the procession of courtly ladies in 15th/16th century gowns...
And this was our fine leader for the first joust... It appears she's been hitting the mead a bit early...
Of course, you can hardly blame her. With just five whole peasants to help her cheer on Sir Ian, she didn't have a whole lot to work with.Here we see the King's court in Ye Royale Pavillion looking merry in pre-joust anticipation...
And here we have our knights for this day: Sir William, Sir Ian and Sir Roderick...
I found myself surprisingly close to where Sir Roderick was hanging out in the arena, and he kindly posed for a few, um, paintings via Mine Canon Powershot...
Thank ye, good sir....
This is Sir Ian. He was supposed to be my region's knight for the day, but he went evil into the second joust and so I ficklely switched my allegiances...
Sorry, dude.Here we see him in an action shot, tilting...
After the festivities, who wouldn't enjoy some fish, chips and a pint o' mead? (Or, well, Guinness in a plastic cup...)
And after a bit of Royal foolishness...
We went on our way.- A story which is equally silly, and you also might enjoy. Find out what happened once I hit the Ren Faire parking lot. You might just get a chuckle here on my humor blog! Click here.
Fare thee well, good people!
