We've been very fortunate to attend a number of renaissance festivals around the country. We won't lie -- part of our motive in making the movie was to have an excuse to travel around, enjoying a variety of faires. It was a lot of work, but we never missed an opportunity to join our fellow rennies for a wooden pint and a laugh. Community, after all, is what faire is all about.
