My partner and I visited this very Ren faire, popped both of our cherries. We were both pretty disappointed by the amount of it that centered around selling bullshit that people buy to wear only at this place (or maybe they wear those mechanical pets on their shoulders to the grocery). However, I too was lingering at the chainmail tent, thinking about the sensation of the heavy, cool metal links against my body fondly. That Moonie guy was pretty sharp, he was helping assist another performer and kept stealing the spotlight...and pretzels.

But some of the costumes were just straight confusing to us. We saw literal jack sparrow, among other pirates...saw chicks with little mermaid getups...perhaps fantasy/LARP fest was taken? The Renaissance theme got pretty weak in some places. Alcohol helped us stay for a while, that and a badass sword swallower.
