Renn Fest was awesome as usual. The outfits are cool... but some women go just a bit overboard with the custumes that make their breasts look like jello that's about to squirt out of their tops.
One thing to note is that not only did I see a lot of tattoos on women (and men), but I saw a lot of women with TWO or MORE colors in their hair. Blondes, Browns, Reds, Purples, Pinks, Greens. It was simply incredible! And to think I had been told by a woman recently that I wouldn't see this happen in the US (like in Germany). I say to you: Hah! Not only are they doing it - but they look STUNNING.
Hell, I even got a Henna tattoo of a Dragon on my forearm. I even had a guy stop me and note how cool it was. Apparently, he too had been thinking about some tribal art... but he hadn't thought of a Dragon. His wife had already got her own Henna tattoo - but I never saw it. Naturally, the Dragon brand is in homage of Robert's Jordan's Wheel of Time. I am: the Dragon Reborn. :)
The whole trip (1hr, 15min and $17 for the ticket) was made worth while by the incredible performance of the The Acting Company in Macbeth. Scott Sophos as Macbeth was convincing as the soldier, the husband, and the disturbed one seeing visions. Sarah Melinda as Lady Macbeth was simply enchanting! When she convinced Macbeth to go through with the plot, I was convinced - and would have followed her into the pits of doom. After she turned on the charm, and Macbeth came for her... she was solid as a rock, and firm of purpose - despite her husbands hands examining what he had purchased by standing firm in their plot. The whole performance was superb.
Curious thing though to be at a Renaissance Festival and see this...
Do you see it? That's right - a crackberry!
