Technically, the rapier is a birthday present for the boy, and the zweihander and seax are mine (the zweihander is nearly as tall as I am, thus the picture with the quarterstaff for scale) but the Siler household acquired a lot of new weaponry today. I thought the Michiana Renaissance Festival was quite a bit more impressive than I was expecting, and the attendance was really impressive– it’s being held at the 4-H Fairgrounds, and judging from the parking in the lot, I’d say attendance was at least a good percentage of what the Fair usually generates on a Saturday.
Got a video game to finish and a book to (hopefully) get a good percentage of the way through, so that’s all I’ve got for today, but one way or another it’s already been a good day.

I don’t blame you a bit. The rapier is particularly lovely. My older brother had a claymoore he had hung on the banister near the front door when my nieces started dating…

Normally I really dislike the “dad is crazy and violent” thing around when daughters start dating, but that’s kind of hilarious. I have a few more specific weapons I want and then I’m hoping to not let this get too out of control. 🙂

I really need a better renaissance festival – the main one here in Michigan, in Holly, is overall really crappy. Fairgrounds means level ground and real bathrooms, for starters!

I’ve got to be honest– I went to that one last year, and if that’s a “really crappy” renfaire, your standards are wildly beyond mine. 🙂 I thought the damn thing was amazing, or at least it would have been if it wasn’t a hundred and fifty degrees outside that day. What do you not like about it?

also, cool weaponry! My first late husband was a collector. It’s all been in storage in 2009 because I still don’t know what to do with it.

That’s got to be rough. I have specifically authorized my wife to get rid of all my shit however she wants once I die, because there’s no universe where she doesn’t outlive me. What sorts of things did he have?
