Spain has their August Vikings, and we have our Zombie Walks or Burning Man furniture fires. Different forms of grown folks having a little fun. We used to have the Renaissance Faire in Novato, were the vendors dress in the medeval style and stay in character all day long.Back before the recession.

Any chance that the Vikings landed in medieval Arabia, spawning Islam?

Doubt it. Vikings had a code of honour.

“Vikings had a code of honour.”
Islamists, too, have a code of honor. They will kill their daughters and sisters to prove it.

I think the reason the ten fair went away is that blackpoint, which was a perfect place for it, got turned into housing.
Man, I miss it.

I went to a Ren Faire yesterday. I think I like the Viking thing better than the zombie thing.

You are right. I was a potter/sculptor merchant at a few northern Ren faires- Valhalla (destroyed when commercial managers took it over), and Folsom’s. Oh... I did a small one in Fresno at Kearney Park once and another in... Visalia, I think. I preferred the two close to home. Set-up and tear-down was brutal at times.
It was a great 20 years. The Scottish clans were the most fun. I loved watching the blacksmiths. Nothing like meat-on-a-stick.

They were led by Harald Greycloak and Sven Bluetooth and his son Jarl Forkbeard.

My grandfather drove my grandmother up Kearney Blvd. to Kearney Park in his big, shiny automobile when he was courting her in 1909. Of course, Kearney Park was just the grounds of Mr. Kearney’s home then. She was mightily impressed.
