Renaissance Pleasure Festival

I visited LA’s RenFair for the first time today. It was held in the city of Irwindale at the Santa Fe Dam. There were a lot of activities and events going on all over the place, so I enjoyed myself quite a bit. We saw a few comedy shows, drank mead, and watched a jousting event. I even bought myself a Legend of Zelda ocarina (which I’ve been wanting for a while) and several cute earrings. Adam bought a mug, but he didn’t check the price before buying it. It was expensive. Ouch. :(

The raspberry mead is tasty, by the way. I’m going to have to see if BevMo has any in stock.

There were a few incidents that marred an otherwise fun day. First was the amount of dust flying about. By the end of the day, I was blowing out black snot and my hair felt dirty. My camera was not spared either as it was covered in a good amount of dust. :( The other incident was while we were watching the last comedy act of the day, there were a group of drunks who wouldn’t shut up and watch the show, or leave. I really wanted to tell them to shut up, but I also didn’t want a fight on my hands. Oh well.

Overall, I had a lot of fun and I can’t wait to go again next year. :)
