Edition 9: Sun., Jun. 23, 1996

I finally coerced the pictures from Lisa and here they are! Were they worth the wait? You decide. Once again, we apologize for the delay. Thank you for you patience and support. New pages of similar content will be posted on alt.renaissance.faires

Here is a shot from the Royal Joust - shiny guys on horses. A definate crowd pleaser. In the old days, I occasionally saw them leaving the field of battle with blood dripping out of their gauntlets. Tough sport! Date: June 16, 1996. Photo Credit: Lisa Bauer.

Another picture of guys running at each other with sticks. Sorry, no telephoto lens. Date: June 16, 1996. Photo Credit: Lisa Bauer.

Mrs. Hempstead with The King (or a renaissance facsimile). Think that's bizzare? You should see his night-show (the pictures from which decency prevents me from displaying without radical censure). Date: June 16, 1996. Photo Credit: Lisa Bauer.

Hunh? Alice in Wonderland? Who invited the rabit? (someone screams in a hoarse voice, "But THAT'S NOT PERIOD") So what. Date: June 16, 1996. Photo Credit: Lisa Bauer.

Anyone for a tea-party. Don't forget to bring your mad flat cap. Date: June 16, 1996. Photo Credit: Lisa Bauer.

The master painter, DeBiers, and his Royal Patron, the Lord Christopher Hatton. Notice the portrait in the background. The ship model at Lord Hatton's right hand is a scale model of the Hind (Francis Drake's ship), the enterprise for which Lord Hatton was financier. Date: June 16, 1996. Photo Credit: Lisa Bauer.

Sea dogs returning from an alehouse, probably penniless, celebrating an anniversary of impression or somesuch. Better round up the constables. Date: June 16, 1996. Photo Credit: Lisa Bauer.

The guildmaster and one very large prank. Very funny, but who gets to clean up after it (the guildmaster, that is). Date: June 16, 1996. Photo Credit: Lisa Bauer.
