Have you ever been to a Renaissance festival? They are pretty crazy. I haven't been to one in years, but I've been thinking about going to another one lately because it really was a lot of fun. Granted, you have a lot of people there who seem to be in a dilusional state of mind. You can either choose to join them in their lunacy or mock their false sense of reality. Either way, it's fun.
I remember going to a festival when I was in high school. My AP English teacher was gaga over them. So, we all showed up, piled off the bus, and started milling around the people wearing their funny costumes. One of the more adventurous parts of the day is the joust they have with their Renaissance weapons. They usually put on a good show here, and it is a pretty risky performance. One guy to a lance to the chest and woke up in the hospital surrounded by people in Cherokee workwear scrubs. Not the kind of day he was expecting. He was laid up in the hospital for weeks.
Well, if you feel like a change this year, find a local festival and enjoy. Be sure to get a Turkey leg fit for a king and a pint of ale.
