I've been to several, and they are always a lot of fun.

It's a good time to spend making new friends and just being a big kid. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Still wondering what it is, but where else would trebuchet ever come up in casual conversation?

Never been to one of these, but did go to Medieval Times by Giants Stadium and it was awesome.

I have gone to that also, however it does not even compare to a Ren Faire festival..not even close.

More shops? How does it really differ? Maybe a Ren faire appeals to women more than a medieval faire does?

Nope. Never played it.

So it's just a big catapult? Looks kinda cool.

Ah.

Yknow, I'm not sure I saw much of this there. I'll have to look closer next time. I mean, they had some face painting, but that was about all I really saw. Nothing really intricate.

Here's an interesting little tidbit for you. There are quite a few folks at these faires that are into BDSM too. So, if that's your bag you can easily meet some like-minded people. Not to mention some very kinky women too. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

catapult uses a sudden release of tension for power while a trebuchet uses a counterweight

Do they still have the jousting/MT/dinner at Excalibur? 4 of us went completely [censored] faced one time, it was hilarious.

Evidently they had Pepsi 800 years ago...who knew?
