This was back in April. Sadly I've put on 10 pounds since then. Want to lose it before the next faire.

We use to go to that too years ago but haven't in ages, probably about 15 yrs.

Nope. Polo shirt and khaki slacks I'm afraid :-)

Oddly, despite being a pretty quality dork, I never got into these. Not to say that I won't in the future. I'm gonna be a full blown Samurai for Halloween & I hand make all of my costumes.

As Geoge Carlin said once "Why is leather so expensive? Cows aren't hard to kill - you just walk up to it and hit it over the head with a hammer."

It's amazing how much the accouterments can cost. I'm not a nut for authenticity (I'm wearing regular slacks with the hems rubber-banded and rolled up, with leather sandals from Payless Shoes) but each Fair I try to buy one thing to add to the ensemble to make it look better.

That mug is real brass and I drink my beer out of it. I also have a sword but I find it a nuisance to wear most of the time. I also forgot to grow a beard for this show - it's the only time I ever allow hair on my face.
