I've got a pickle for you to eat - it's big, long, and juicy

In other words, we went to the Minnesota Renaissance Festival this weekend.

And we had a blast.

We went puppy free for the first time in ages. It was a little odd not having the dogs but on the other hand we got to see more and worry less. And it was SO crowded. We have never seen the festival as crowded as it was this weekend. Holy Cow.

But here are a few pictures from the festival. Nothing too exciting. I missed the chance to take a picture of the Un-Captain Sparrow. The guy did a fantastic job of capturing every last detail of Captain Sparrow. Only he was, how do I put this nicely, he was the Un-Depp in looks. Where as Depp takes the Sparrow character off the charts for sex appeal, this guy sort of, well, hit rock bottom. And then some. But, bless his not so sexy heart, he really did an exceptional job on the costume.

Scorks/Sporks what's the difference?

Fire Eater aka Johnny Phoenix

The lovely assistants - yes, he bound himself in the hardest things to escape from known to man: Bra, Straight Jacket, and chains - since he a bra on he figured his assistants needed them as well. These were willing volunteers pulled from the audience

The Skorks place does not looke very Renaissanc-ey.

I love Renaissance Festivals. Every year I threaten Al with costumes and every year I chicken out. Oh well, it's still fun. Sounds like you had a blast.

I've never been to a Renaissance Festival. Seems like around here they always want to hold them in the dead of August when it's outrageously hot and humid. You know those people all dressed up are just dying too. LOL

LMAO! He bound himself in a bra?! Omg, I really hope our festival is as cool as yours.
