The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

This is my (Matt Sokol, since my username's stuck on Wlokos right now) renaissance fair post.

Good: Those turkey legs were incredible. Totally worth the $6. They were also fun because they fit the theme of the faire. The only downside is that any future thanksgiving turkeys will pale in comparison. And, yes, I know that it's a bit odd that I'm choosing the food over anything else at the faire - there was tons of good stuff, such as the silent comedy, the music shop I found, and a million other things.

Bad: Bees! If there hadn't been three or four bees flying around me trying to get at the various foods and drinks I consumed throughout the day, it would've been a lot more enjoyable. I actually had to throw out an apple cider thing before I finished it because the bees were all over it and I wasn't in any mood to be stung.

Ugly: Me not getting to see Anthony Josie and Sam Tracy walking around the park in their robot costumes before they decided to get rid of them. 'Twas a sad moment when I saw that they'd lost the outfits.

Overall, the faire was an awesome experience. I was definitely not expecting anything half as large or as authentic feeling as what I ended up seeing. I definitely think I'll return there next year, because it's certainly worth a return trip.
