Message: <blockquote data-quote="toberane" data-source="post: 2213312" data-attributes="member: 4968">Speaking of Don Juan and Miguel (never seen them, I assume they are riotously funny) reminds me of another great act of legend from RenFests - Puke & Snot.Puke and snot - <a href="http://www.magaga.com" target="_blank">http://www.magaga.com</a> - have been performing for years and years at RenFests and other variety venues.  They actually started years ago performing with some other friends of theirs you might have hears of - Penn & Teller.Puke & Snot are equal parts Shakespeare, Abbot & Costello, and the Smothers Brothers.  They used to perfor at the Kansas City RenFest all the time, but they stopped a few years back to instead perform at the Minnesota RenFest, which happens at about the same time.Other things about RenFests that spring to mind:Lots of women wearing low cut bodices reveling in the fact that they are showing LOTS of cleavage.Beer.  Ale.  Wine.  Mead.  More beer and ale.  And ale.  And beer.GIGANTIC ROASTED TURKEY LEGS!Performers, performing everything from traditional madrigals to bawdy tavern songs about the chandler's wife.Robin Hood and Little John's quarterstaff duel at the bridge, leading to one or the other (or both) getting seriously dunked and soaked.One of our favorite performers at the Kansas City RenFest is a group of Pirates called the Jolly Rogers.  Pirate songs, sea shanties, and lots of off-color, just barely family friendly skits and jokes.Another performer who seems to be absolutely everwhere (and who doesn't even make an attempt at Family Friendly material) is Axel the Sot, a very short guy wearing a nightcap who invariably sings the bawdiest songs at the festival - with one exception.The exception is a song called "Moose" by a group who used to call themselves Wild Mountain Thyme (they've changed members and their name since then, but I believe they still sing the song).  An excerpt:"And it's Moose, Moose, I like a Moose. I've never had anything quite like a moose. I've had many lovers, my morals are loose, But I've never had anything quite like a moose."And it just goes downhill from there.In addition to that, there are some of the coolest shops selling some of the most amazing handmade items imaginable, at prices sure to get you writing checks that wil take your bank account into the negative numbers and have you putting off the utility bill until the next paycheck.And as for ways of getting players involved in the action at a RenFest, I have two words for you: AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION.  Every show has some degree of audience participation guaranteed to get the PCs up on stage and embarass the heck out of them.</blockquote>
