Ren Feeps - Tentacle Twist and Shakespeare

Let us wrap up this edition of Ren Feeps with Shakespeare's reaction to finding a writing mass of tentacles on his shoulder. (Verily, it just wanted some advice on constructing narratives in iambic pentameter.)

Ren Feeps - At the market

Worried about rapscallions and vagabonds attempting to pilfer your wares whilst you yourself are unawares? Consider hiring a guard monster to loom over your tent.

Ren Feeps - Monster and Knight

Our feep friend finds the obligatory mini-knight that all ren faires seem to have.

Ren Feeps - The lull before showtime commences

Waiting for a performance to start. This is really just an excuse to show off my boots.

Ren Feeps - The Mysterious Device

But does it spit out ducats, or just pieces of eight?

Ren Feeps - Chess

Tentacle Twists are genetically predisposed to becoming chess grandmasters. Managing all those tentacles makes you good at keeping track of what needs to go where when, and how.

Ren Feeps - Claw foot table

This is a good place to hide from that giant, hungry-looking bird monster.

Renaissance Feeps - Interactive Performance

The feep watches one of those acts that tries to get the audience involved, and adds its own twist to the proceedings.

Reainnsance Feeps - Armoury

Tentacle Twist has not yet realized the downsides to building a nest here.

Renaissance Feeps - Blue Twist at the Faire

Finally got all the Sherwood Forest Faire photos sorted and ready for your viewing pleasure. Let us begin in the middle of everything, under the watchful gaze of the Lego-colored castle.

Tentacle Cat at the Ren Faire

From last March. Which means the Austin Ren Faire will be upon us soon! I'll have to see which feep wants to tag along for 2011.

Ren Feeps - Tentacle Cat with Goblin

I have many new feeps sitting around waiting to be photographed, and soon there will be even more. For ArmadilloCon starts tomorrow!

Ren Feeps - Snoot Bird eats lunch

Using authentic, period paper plates and plastic forks, of course.

Ren Feeps - Snoot Bird and Harp

Snoot Bird ponders abandoning knighthood for the sake of careers that involve fewer severed limbs. Harpist, perhaps? But then Snoot Bird recalls that it has no arms to begin with. Such is life!

Ren Feeps - Sir Snoot Bird

Snoot Bird, after having thought through all the likely scenarios for what happens to the guy on the outside of the armor, finally settles on a location at the lower end of the maiming spectrum.

Ren Feeps - Snoot Bird and Knight 2

Abandoning the falconry idea, the Snoot Bird instead ponders the ramifications of helm adornment. Knight of Feeps! Leading the charge into battle! Glory! Honor! Swords whooshing right at you from all directions ...

Ren Feeps - Snoot Bird and Knight

The Snoot Bird considers work as a trained falcon. The lack of wings may prove a hindrance.

Ren Feeps - Curly Snoot Bird at Scarborough Faire

Snoot Bird contemplates devouring the wandering anachronisms.

Ren Feeps Redux - Tentacle Cat watches Shakespeare

In theory I'm headed to Scarborough Faire in Dallas this weekend (as a visitor, not a vendor, just to clarify), so I shall try once more to garner photos of feeps frolicking in festivular fun.

Ren Feeps - Tentacle Cat Disobeys

The cat part comes through loud and clear.

This concludes the Ren Feeps set (for now!). And I believe this is the last weekend for Sherwood Forest Faire, so if you intend to go but haven't yet, now would be the time!
