HUZZAH!!

"Do you have your drinking papers my lord?"

"HUZZAH!! to the tipper"

"WENCH FOR SALE!!!"

Renaissance Faire is time for laughter, drinking and conversing with great accents.

Luckily this was my second time going to The Original Renaissance Pleasure Faire and knew all the great fun language that was spoken all day long. It takes me back when i used to play Dungeons and Dragons, and i always wanted to live in the era of Knights and Kings. Thanks to the yearly month long event not only myself but others were able to walk and talk through time.

I looked forward going to the Ren.Faire every year, as this time i was able to download the latest firmware for my DSLR which enabled me to record in HD video. Lost like a peasant trying to find his master i did not know the right settings in order to record. ahhhhh which one do i use? and at what settings?!?! i should have read a manual on it, but i figured it wouldn't have been hard. I figured since it will be recording live video would have not been great especially if i have to change the settings constantly. I did do some in but then i realized, no control of the shutter speed might make the shutter go fast. In my mind if that would to happen then there would be no blur. Will it come out like a stop motion video?(that would be awesome in certain videos) So i went ahead and went with why not just keep the shutter speed at 30 thinking it will let lots of motion get captured.

Dress up and have fun

What to expect at a Renaissance Faire? Lots of actors who work at the faire and the people who put a lot of work in their outfits. Usually you will think of Knights, Warriors, Soldiers, Maidens, Noblemen and Women. But the ones that stood out to me was the unexpected Goblin Chief and Engineer. I didn't get to find the Merchant that i saw last year :( Also there was one lady who dressed up as if Paris Hilton would have done if she lived in the Renaissance period.

Paris Hilton? o.o

Hopefully next year i can go as a Thief and i will "steal" peoples souls (old asian belief that when their photos were taken it takes their soul) by taking photos of them. Even better maybe i will wear a sign saying "shout me a big HAZZAH and i shall capture ye soul"
