Michigan Renaissance Festival, 2004

My cousin Lillian had never been to a Renaissance festival before, which is a crime against humanity. Thus, I considered it my sacred duty to show her what they're like.

The Michigan ren faire is the largest in the state, and one of the largest in the country, so I figured it would be a good idea to thrust her right into the mayhem of several thousand people.

I've seen this fair several times, so I wasn't too keen on getting more pictures, but I did snap a few.

I don't remember seeing that fountain last year, but it was pretty cool. I didn't catch the whole joust, and if you know me, I was thrilled about that. The third picture is my cousin Lillian and me. This was taken after the faire at my apartment with my cool tapestry as a backdrop. It looks like the dragon is biting my thigh. Bad dragon, no biscuit.

Anyway, the day was very hot and sunny, but pretty fun regardless.
