I used to love going to a Spanish recreation festival we have nearby locally when I was a kid. I recently have gotten into collecting swords and making mead. Both fairly medieval activities.
I also learned that there is a Ren Faire coming up in September and I really want to attend. I want to do the full deal and dress up and all that. Let me tell you, my wife is ecstatic! (<--- blatant sarcasm here). I keep telling her we can make her a geisha or something (she is Asian) but that just REALLY pisses her off
Unfortunately, I discovered that medieval clothing and gear is ridiculously expensive. I really don't want to spend several hundred dollars just to go to this thing. As far as I can tell, I can easily make a viking/medieval type tunic with a t-shirt and some scissors. I also have the sword thing down because I can just bring one of mine as long as it is "peace bonded" whatever that means. I am guessing some zip ties holding blade in scabbard or something. Thing is... I cannot figure out for the life of me what to do about pants and especially shoes and stuff.
Any advice about anything about a ren faire would be greatly appreciated!
