So, I thought I'd share my geeky Faire related news here....
Since I had to come FL to spend a few months cleaning out my mother's house (she passed away just over a year ago and I've avoided doing this long enough) I scheduled my time in FL to coincide with the local Renaissance Faire, the Bay Area Renaissance Festival in Tampa, FL.
I've been cast on both the Queen's Court (they've two seperate Courts, I've been told that Henry and Catherine aren't the happy couple our Henry and Anne are) and in the human chessmatch. The latter has me bouncing with glee, as stage combat was the whole reason I got involved with faires and it's been too long since I swung a sword. I've made no secret of how I think it's lame that the only combat in Colorado is the Jousters - and it's sloppy stage combat too.
Never fought in a hoopskirt and corset before, but today was our first fight rehearsal and it's a lot of fun so far here. Except for the relearning how to breathe in 90% humidity when it's 80 degrees in January.... I've become weak, living in Colorado. Plus, it's been over five years since I wielded a weapon other than a flintlock or a funnoodle. My shoulders are killing me, and it feels great. :)
So, anyway, that's my happy news. I should be in Colorado again by the end of April. Dunno yet if I'm performing or not at CRF... I don't know if I could handle 14 weekends of Faire in a 52 week period. I'll see how I'm doing come April. Stage combat right now wins in my book over just being a character at CRF, but who knows, I may just need more of this insnaity. :)
I'm so happy! *bounce* *bounce* *bounce*
PS. Either way, I'm retiring my peasant character from performance for a few years, so you all should audition for it. :)
How exciting! My homefaire is BARF so let me be the first to say Welcome. :)
Yes we have an awesome combat chess troupe. Can't wait to see your bit in it and to meet you. You'll love our little faire.
I was born in Florida so I can understandthe heat issue, but wearing garb in Florida heat I gotta give you kudos. Whenever I go back to visit I always melt. Have fun at BARF- "BARF" haha thats awesome.
That sounds awesome! Congrats Lady! :)
And BARF... *giggle*
Yeah...the BARF thing... ;D ::)
yeah, yeah... every joke about "BARF" has been made, people. But it's easier to say than CRF. :)
That's why I always call it "CORF"...I tend to get it confused with CRF otherwise, which is Carolina...I think? Haha. But CORF is easier to actually say. ;)
Technically Colorado is SRF as it has been around a LOT longer than Carolinas. Besides if we have to be CoRF they should be NCRF or SCRF
But like Zoe I call it CRF as to many of those back east get confused.
"I've made no secret of how I think it's lame that the only combat in Colorado is the Jousters - and it's sloppy stage combat too." ...wow, thanks, we will certainly try and clean it up, hate being refered to as Sloppy

Sorry Bryan, but while I thought it was just me for a long time being snobbish, many of my friends and coworkers who have come to the shows have commented to me about it too. I know people are tired and all, but these are people going as patrons who notice it too. This year I heard it more than normal.
Well, though we try to, you can't please all the people all the time. I, and the rest of my team, as profesional performers can't just listen to the compliments we recieve for our stage combat, we must also listen to any criticism. So, I will take your open and very broadcasted opinion and end this conversation by wishing you luck in your new endeavor.
I have always enjoyed the jousting of Noble Cause Productions.
.....The performance/s, and especially when the royal court is involved (king onfield threatening the bad guys with sword in hand - when the princess is threatened w/a bad guy back hand - etc, and different weapons are used ie. a crossbow bolt shot from across the jousting field, then turned against the agressor.
Bryan, You always have a fan in CaptDungeonSpleen aka royal gardens gatekeeper very near the jousting arena.

AHEM.... wasn't always that way........
I've been a festival patron and preformer for 25+ years. I've seen other Joust companies. IMHO, the Nobel Cause guys have the best show I've seen..... and it has the most variety of themes, premeses, weapons used, etc.
so, opinions vary.....

I've heard a few co-workers complain about the Jousters. I've also noticed these same people tend to complain about everything, except, of course, their own hamster.
I too have been attending for 25+ years and, personally, our Jousters are awesome! Well said, Hey-Aren'tYou? and Capt Spleen- the crowds do enjoy seeing the Royalty interact with the jousters.
I talk to patrons who come to my booth all the time about the shows and the response to the Jousting is
always complimentary. Okay, there was this one guy who complained, but he couldn't find the arena and he claimed to have been run over by someone riding in a "large ball."

what if we put the hamster on the OUTSIDE of the ball.........?????
I've seen good jousts from our guys and I've seen the ones where it looks like someone was sipping from the Holy Grail of Margaritas a little too frequently. Heck, I've seen so many of CRF's jousts, I can reenact them in 30-seconds with bunnies hamsters. I've also seen a few of those indoor dinner theater jousts. I like ours better. Bad jokes and all. (Any chance the hobbit jokes can just die? Please?) :D While I would LOVE to see more combat (like...say...the Men of the Green come back....) I understand that it's darn hard to beat up on each other. It's also hard to get it approved by the PtB, I've seen a few attempts made in rehearsals only to be rejected. I also know that patrons are used to CGI fights of the Matrix like and just don't understand why the knights can't do the same thing. Yes, the jousts are a little cheesy, but that's part of what I love about them. I understand the criticism, and maybe I'm just really loyal to our jousters, but I think they do a darn good job.
But Really, I just watch the jousts for the horses. Go Bonnie! Mightiest Warhorse of them all!
lol, thanks! We are loyal and fond of our cheerleaders too!

Jousting Hamsters? what a frikkin great idea......!!! Why haven't we thought of that sooner? (i suppose we'll have to duct-tape them to the horses tho...)
and after a few breeding cycles, (like 2) we can have a living hamster chess match........

I used to have 22 hamsters....I could have started my own hamster jousting business! We are down to 12 now...probably just a baseball team now. ;)
I'd be up to see Hamsters jousting... or even pigeons jousting.
No offence to the CoRF jousters they entertain the masses. But I much prefer the jousting that takes place at the Estes Park Scottish Highland Games. It's real, it's fun, it's full on possibilities of injuries. Not that I want to see anyone hurt... I don't, but to me it's far more entertaining.
While I would love to see more combat occur at CoRF, I fully understand the reason's not to and those are liability insurance that CoRF would be required to have. While other states may have the stage combat, their insurance laws maybe different than Colorado's or they are just willing to pay the cost of insurable.
Having been a Playtron of CRF since the mid 80's I was going before peace bounding was required. I was also there when no weapons where allowed. I won't mention groups that caused the issue in Colorado, but it was changed CoRF and other faires forever.
I love our not so little faire and it's unique. If it offered the exact same thing as every other faire, there would be no reason beyond getting our Noble/Peasant/Pirate on of which I am ALWAYS up for but then again I'm always up for putting on garb be it Medieval, Renaissance or Victorian. I'm just glad we still have a faire more combat or not, entertaining jousting or full on.
And When ye are ready to start the hamster jousting, count me in :)
What about cats inside a hamster ball with jousting hamsters on top? Best of both worlds.
I enjoy CoRF's jousting, but I believe it is in that sun where most of my sun burns come from. I need to remember to bring some stupid sunblock or something.
Give me a Rain Day Jousting anytime. The stuff that Bryan and the rest of the troupe does is great.
Hamster Jousting would be fun but the favors they get would cover them and weight them down.

Ditto! I've been impressed that on days when it's too wet to be safe for the horses, the lads come out into the grass and fight on foot. cuz..... "the Show Must....." "go on...?" "YES! That's IT! the show must go on. brilliant!"
OK then, how about using hamsters as favors? ;D
I've got a $20 for anyone who will come out and tie a hamster to Bryans lance!!!!
BWAHAHAHA!!!!
HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY NOWWWW!!!!!!! lol
That's not a hamster... THIS is a hamster... ;)
20 bucks eh? Can you pay me now?
p.s. does it have to be the real lance, or can I attach it to a photo?

Nope. Rules are: I must actually see it happen, must be an actual live Hamster, must be the actual lance, must be during a open festival day, hamster must not be damaged. (i will accept it happening during parade instead of a show)
and I'll raise the bounty to $25. anyone else want to chip in on the bounty?
(I am the guy who paid the Sheriff to run through the Royal Court Dance Party on the rose stage, wearing a White Rabbit Mask and shouting "I'm late, I'm late...." the clock was his idea. and it was
hysterical)
yep, cause trouble wherever I go. that's me.
Why oh why do people have to set things like this in my head? I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to acquire a hamster, dress it in the proper colors, and safely package it. I almost have it figured out.
I can supply the hamster!
Yo Bryan, how'd you like to split $25? ;D
p.s. Tanda- I bet you could hide it in your hat- I'm sure no one will know...
Hum, I have a plan. Hamster in cage, tied to lance. Yup it would work, Can someone get me close to a knight?
I can hear meself now.
M'Lord, by tying this lucky 'Amster to ye lance will bring ye good luck. Ye'd be surely to win the love of everyone especially the princess as she is a lover of "Amsters. Not to mention M'Lord it will scare the other knights horse thus insuring you a win. So what say ye my good Lord?
You know, somewhere, I probably have a small stuffed hamster.....hmmm....
So, we have the hamster, we need a small wooden cage and some cute red and white hamster clothes.
Hmm...if I do decide to do the school thing this summer rather than the faire thing, I'm going to get myself in a lot of trouble as a playtron.
so what we will have is...... hamster on a stick?
Just be sure to keep that hamster away from Demetrius. You all know how he is.
I can see it now.......
" Hey Jim..... I figured out a way to save huge $$ on your food cost.... and it tastes JUST LIKE ckicken!!!"
and yes, that's why his kitchen is sooooo far away from the petting zoo.

Yes... I know how he is... how is he?Ah, yakitori hamster at the joust! More popular than Hamster Bell.
Alas- there is not enough meat on a hamster for even a snack. Tis a good thing we leave the jousting to the jousters.
Oooh! There is a petting zoo? Oh, you mean the campground. Well, I thought our kitchen
was the petting zoo.
Tanda and Lady D will distract said jouster, Moldy glues velcro to the lance (sorry, we wish your family all the best) Zoe supplies the hamster, Spleen provides the velcro hamster suit, Hey Aren't You? brings the escape elephant, Avan brings... well we know what Avan brings... and then...
Perhaps a large wooden badger...

Um..... perhaps you are unfamiliar with the relationship between Elephants and small rodents.... :o

Well welcome to BARF. I moved to Tampa from Boulder 3 years ago (after being in CO for 9 years). The faire here is far different but I found both to be very charming. I look forward to seeing your performance and meeting you.

Brown Robe'd thugs
eh, a Sister Brother joust! Yes, very loud indeed.
I've seen Paige eat a tree, so I will heed your advice.
Just to keep it interesting......
I have $50 (payable to your estate) to anyone who can tie a hamster to the Elephants trunk...... AND i'll personally collect what's left and carry you to first aid.......
I have $75 for anyone who can successfully tie an elephant to a jouster...... (or vice verse)
and I'll take bids for anyone who thinks they can persuade Bryan to come out to do his show riding an elephant..... OR a large wooden badger.
Let The Games Begin!!!!
Now that I would really love to see. Bryan ride out on the elephant to the joust and the Black Knight on a hamster and see who wins.
I'll give $200 for whom ever can tie the hamster onto the lance and then tie the knight onto the SMELLA-Phant while said knight is on his trusty Wooden Badeger. While the queen rides around the stadium on a pigeon while singing songs by the King. Hum not good King Henry but THE King.

Hey leave Fluffy out of this......
She's busy gaurding the Garland shop any way! ;D
( but she's not wood)
Oh my...this is going to be a fun season!
hehehe she tends to wander too ::)
If elephants and horses fail, wooden hamsters can always swoop in and save the day. Some say you may find them in the village of Hamalot.
Hamalot....where they eat...spam and jam and ham a lot?
I was singing that song over and over yesterday and now its back in my head. Does anyone know how fast could an African Swallow laden with a hamster could migrate?
Is that an African or European Hamster? :o
Ok... So... back on the subject of the jousting...
I have worked in several states at several faires. CRF has one of the most entertaining and family friendly jousts. Afterall... that is what Paradise asks for... Family Friendly. CRF is entertaining enough that Jesus Christ attended and sat on Roderick's side. ;)
This combat is on a horse, is forced to have choreography due to the danger of working with an animal that is at least five times thier weight, and wield weapons so than no one actually gets hurt. It is a team effort and very dangerous. Not many Faires can afford to offer this kind of entertainment.
The only complaints I have heard have come from those that are not even happy to be at CRF in the first place. They just need to confess their disappointment with life by making others feel inadequate.
Now brown robed thugs jousting... can we have hamsters with little saddles and mini lances? Comedy relief... a dream...Oh... to be able to get away from the parapet... sigh. :-\
There are all kinds of hamsters in this world. Siberian hamsters live communally, are loving, petite and growing in population every day. Teddy Bear Hamsters are solitary animals that cannot live communally after two weeks or they will eat each other alive.
One can choose which hamster to identify with.
Personally this brown robed thug is glad to know that we will not have any Teddy Bears wallowing in the path of the pachyderm this year.

I have an hamster named "Hannibal Lecter." Now I understand why he enjoys jousting so much.
And Moldy- yes it is an European hamster.
The Jawas in their sand crawler on Tatooine were really extraterrestrial hamsters. Notice the red eyes and a penchant for thievery and banned technology. I am sure that I have seen some 'droids at fair. Could "Princess Leia" be next? Stay tuned.....

Yes, and apparently the look on his face is the same as the one on Moldy's when he found out he gets to be in the joust!
We could change the overall to something a bit more midevil or at least Elizabethian... OOH like the royal red that the drummer and trumpeters wear. 'Corse he would not be able to wear anything so loose if he was the horse... I mean hamster.
Oh Moldy... I do think it could work. You ned to start practicing running with sand bags on your back. Sometimes speed is very important.

Dear Adam,
Upon meeting Queen Titania in the deep of the forest, it was impressed upon me the idea thou should fill a latent desire to build a hamster suit for Elijah- and upon doing so would be uproariously hysterical comical, though not safe for attachment of said child to a particular jouster's lance. Besides, Moldy claims he will profer his bod for just such an occasion.

Nay good chicken monger, tis my belief, in truth, that all, yay, ALL... should dress in the honeress of hamsterness. I reccomend, nay, I do decree, that all should procure for themselves, little plastic headbands that hold ones hair in place, that those should be covered with fabric, and have attached to them, little fuzzy round ears of hamsterness. That all should wear them, on the same day as each other, so that the honoress of hamsterness should be evedent, en masse, and thereby showing our love and support for each of the other, as well as sewing the seeds of humor so that the laughter should be as infectious as the very concept of hamsterness has become on these very boards.
The full and encompassing
suit of hamsterness (+1), should be indeed reserved for the one caled Moldy, that he may lead the masses of hamsterness to greatness.
so... there ye go! Ears for
EVERYONE!

Jai Alai? I thought that was a type of drink! Sounds like a good idea, and I would be supportive of doing so- unforunately, I don't know how to spell Jai Alai, so I'll have to get back to you on it.
As for your idea about the ears- I hear what you are saying.

I don't presume to know what you all are talking about, but in the interest of promoting hamster love I give you "Dusty".

... wow ....
I really can't wait to see all the hamster favors this year... I'm sure if you put the hamsters in red and yellow JP will go for it- can never have enough red and yellow.

So, throwing flaming hamsters... a new take on flame throwing!
There'll be no flaming of hamstern... no, no, no...
Well, if they are on fire, they will certainly be red & yellow..... ::)
someone stop me before a crossthreadreference again.......
Note 1: None of the hamsters used were harmed in any way...
Note 2: I believe there is no requirement for said hamster- to be attached to Bryans lance (Moldy)- to be on fire- be it red or be it yellow.
Note 3: Unless you throw in an extra two bits.
it only it were a Harry Potter Festival......
then we could play hamster quiddich.
Q "why do you wrap a hamster in duct tape?"
A "so they don't splatter when the beater hits it."

Hey now- didn't you say the hamster on the lance thingy had to result in no injury to the hamster?
"
Now we see the violence inherent in the system...
'Where, behind the hamster?'"

Ohhhhhh, I was thinking of the game where you hit brightly colored balls through little metal rings on the lawn... When I think of eating something off of a stick I think of chicken for some reason. I can't eat a hamster anyway, I'm not a vegetarian.
