I never got into it..but I heard they had good food.

And what is up with the live action reenactment sect? I used to see people swordfighting in the park, too!

And Katie, as for science camp, if it was Space Camp, you have every right to judge. I mean, they made a movie about Space Camp. Did they ever make a movie about stupid knights and swordfighting? No! Oh wait… yeah. They made a lot of them. Never mind.

They looked so serious, and were doing warm-up stretches. I guess they were preparing for battle? In a city park.
I may have nerd bones in my closet, but role playing never made it on the list. But I guess you can’t knock it until you try it…

You really have a knack for putting us in the room. I’m jealous of your game nights. They sound just delightful.
For the record, I used to love the Renaissance Faire. LOVED IT. And actually, I probably wouldn’t mind going back if I didn’t feel so silly about it. I mean, I wouldn’t dress up or anything, but still. . . turkey legs, jousting, bards. I luuurve it.
After college I knew this guy in his thirties who used to do something I called Wizard in the Woods. Like a live action D&D, if I understood correctly.
“So Ed,” I’d ask, “how was your weekend?”
“It was okay,” he’d answer, “Until a witch from Snellville cast a spell on me, trapping me in the sword of this Warlock from LaGrange. I had to follow him around for a day and a half until someone noticed me and cast an unbinding spell.”
I miss Ed.

Then, I’ll be showing up on your doorstep hoping you will have mercy and take me in.
