10-12-08 Stormwarrior – Heroic Deathe

“He’s browsing reality’s infinite palette. He’s seen yours and yours doesn’t cut it.” That’s me in a nutshell, Shanoah.

Anyway, the Ren Faire ended today. And could there be any better way to memorialize the end of the Renaissance Faire than with a VIKING FUNERAL!

Actually, yes, because the only body of water big enough for that is Lake Mead, and if we put a flaming dragonship on that, we’ll probably set the whole damn lake on fire. (Not the purest water in the world, if you get my drift) So we’ll have to content ourselves with comemmorating the Badlye Misspellede Ren Faire’s Badlye Misspellede Heroic Deathe with, coincidentally enough, Stormwarrior’s Heroic Deathe, off 2004’s Northern Rage. And, yes, you’ve heard these guys wielding the hammer of the metal gods on this channel before.

Rich Fantasy Lives

Dragons? How are dragons medieval, anyways? To my knowledge, there weren’t any dragons during the Renaissance. Or any other time period, to my knowledge.

Not that that would have stopped me from following your post up with Heather Alexanders “Rock n’ Gold” if it was on youtube.

Tom Smith will have to do:

This is Rob Balder, Tom Smith & Will Frank performing Rob & Tom’s “Rich Fantasy Lives” at OVFF’s Pegasus Nominees Concert with Judi Miller signing on Friday, Oct 26, 2007.

This song hits the heart of what drives the Rennaisance Fair, to me, though.

10-11-08 DragonForce – Where Dragons Rule

We continue our celebration of the Badlye Misspellede Renaissance Faire today, as it’s here in Las Vegas until Sunday, and its homage to medievalishness. And what could be more medieval than:

1. Dragons.
2. Freakin’ rock-and-roll.

Which makes DragonForce’s Where Dragons Rule a natural for your neat thing today. (And yes, you’ve heard these fellows here before)

So come (won’t you?) back with me to those halcyon days when men were men, women were women, people were stupid, life was short, work was back-breaking, food was half-rotten, disease was rampant, medical care was nonexistent, houses were cold, beds were really hard and any random jackass with a sword could kill you dead, rape your wife, burn your home and sell your kids into slavery.

Perhaps I’m missing the point…
