Wifey, sister in law, baby and I went to the NY Renaissance Fair today in Orange County, NY today. There were more people dressed up in costumes than there were visitors it seems! Goth kids, people walking around with animals, people dressed up in medieval costumes, people dressed up in fantasy outfits not connected to any real period of history, etc. Lots of boobies falling all over the place. Swordsmiths, glassblowers, and blacksmiths too. A good time once you get used to all the living history types and freaks.
Where do these people come from? Keep in mind I'm not talking about paid employees here, but rather people who dress up as a fantasy swordsman or whatever and then pay to get in just like everyone else.
I know somebody on the board is familiar with these people. Let's hear it.
