Creatively anachronistic

This weekend my sister Bethany and I went to the Renaissance Festival in Sterling, NY. Highlights, beyond the flagons of mead, include:

  • Sword-swallowing magician with magical water from India
  • Fire-juggling guy for whom my sister volunteered me as a assistant, during which assisting I had to jump out of the way when an uncoordinated 13-year-old helper hurled a lit torch clear over the juggler's head and across the stage.
  • Ridiculous amounts of unhealthy food.

However, the Sterling, NY festival was way more expensive and theme-park tourist-trappy than the Maryland Renaissance Festival where Kathie works as a hair braider. The MDRF also has better entertainers.

Hopefully I'll be at the MDRF in a few weeks.
