Pittsburgh, PA Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival

Time to trade ye sabers for a sword of steel...or aluminum foil, whatever...

PRF

Pirates Themed Weekend is on Aug 25 when we will be in Toronto But there's also Sept. 8 GRAPE STOMP and later they have a Celtic weekend!

who wants to go challenge some Knights with sabers? Lightsaber pole jousting?

 

i've actually always wanted to go to one of those.

try my hand at caber tossing...

that sounds dirty

 

Grape Stomp? I am not sure what that is, but I think I want to do it!

 

I've always wanted to go with a group of folks in Jedi garb, but no one would do it with me.

I like going to the Renaissance festival (jousting is fun to watch!) and if we can find a day that's good for all of us, I'm in.

 

I go to these quite frequently actually. Pretty much every year.

 

These are so much fun. I go to the Ohio Renaissance festival every year and it's a blast. I especially love the deep fried turkey legs with a goblet of beer! I love the Mud Show the most of all!

 

mud show?!

 

Yeah, It is so cool. Kind of hard to describe but basically these 3 hilarious guys perform numerous comedy skits and cover themselves and the front 10 rows of the crowd in mud. Their website is moremud.com

 

How about we go on Saturday, September 22. That's the Celtic weekend. Which means KILTS!

 

The Star Trek people are going that weekend! Can we battle them? or maybe join up to defeat the forces of the past? lol

 

That would be most cool! Have the Trek and SW folks all show up together in costume. Tradmic, could you ask them if they would be interested? Nothing better than Jedi and Klingons hanging out together. Tim can wear his Yoda Starfleet costume.

 

Star Trek? what? Who? When?

 

Weekend of Sept. 8 and 9 is not only the Grape Stomp, but the "Wooing Contest" and the "Best Man in Tights" contest.

Sept 22 and 23 is Celtic Weekend and there will be a "Men in Kilts" Contest. I hope there is some awesome prize for SuperChill to win.

I'll update soon with a response as far as meeting up with the Trek group.

 

I am the XO of the Trek group and we decided it was best for us to go on Sunday, September 23rd because one of our members drives truck all week and is very tired on Saturdays, I usually work on Saturdays, and I think another of our group works Saturdays. Sundays are usually better for us anyway.

Is there any way that you guys could have an event/meeting on Sunday instead of Saturday, so that many more of us could attend? We are seriously trying to get more involved with your group.

I know our Chief Engineer is also a member of this forum.

The big issue for Sunday meetings are probably afternoon Steeler's games. Here is their schedule to help figure out what dates would work.

 

So are we going on Saturday the 22nd or Sunday the 23rd?

 

can i be a Klingon Jedi? i have a head piece...

 

SuperChill can only go on Saturday, so that's when we're going. And I know that you all want to see him in the green kilt...

 

Saturday it is. What time are we meeting at the front gates?

 

It opens at 10 am...is that too early?

 

How do folks at this renfaire feel about Jedi or Klingons showing up?

 

Guess we'll find out, huh?

Not like we ever get outta hand or anything...

 

I don't see that there should be any problem with a group of warrior-monks from a long,long time ago showing up.

 

So at least one group of folks are going Saturday. Those that are . . .

Saturday, Sept 22. Meet at the front gate at 10 AM
Wear your Jedi Robes


If anyone is going on Sunday, post it here and the meet time

 

Wow! I'm going to have to get up EARLY! It will take me almost 1.5 hours to get there.

I won't feel so wierd about being in costume, having seen Captain Jack Sparrow on their main page.
