So this weekend was tartan days. What is that you ask? It is a faire that is devoted to every thing that is Scottish (aka: if it is not Scottish IT’S CRAP!). The rest of the renaissance faire was there re-enacting and such. I played the historical figure known as Alexander Selkirk. Don’t know who he is??? He is basically a famous privateer who got stranded for 4 years on an island. Every heard of Robinson Crusoe? That was based off of old Alexander’s life with one exception. He was alone.
Ok so back to the story. I got to act like a pirate along with about 10 other people and just got mess around, although no one said “arhhhhh” because those are gay pirates. The other people that are apart of the Renaissance faire also played other historical roles like William Wallace and Scottish fighters.
There are 2 big rules in re-enacting i learned
- Flirt a lot- this is rather easy to do in character I found. You an actor so you can get away with a lot. It is rather fun too do!
- Accent- Keep throwing your voice and talk like a Scotsman.
Now that you have read I’ll reward you with pictures. :)

Here are some random people i meet and was around alot. There really nice.

There i am with K.C. an over all great guy. He was playing the man who wrote the book "petter pan". There was a ton of people who played diffrent roles in the book. examples: petter, wendy, hook, lost boys, indians, and even mermaids.

Here is sara miller (girl in the middle Smiling back at me) and some other girls. Sara might be the strangest but is one of the funny's girls I know.

This is every one in a panic trying to pack things away before the storm hit. Lucky for us we made it just in time.

This really has nothing to do with my weekend. It was just my desk after studying for chemistry. I don't think i did to hot on the test on friday though :(
Over all this weekend Was "tons of fun". I only wish i could have done more but i lost an hour and could not do things i wanted to do. |
