Great Scott! Why are all these people wearing strange clothes and dreaming of a simpler, more steam punkish past? It's because of the 2nd Annual San Jose Renaissance Faire!

No Flux Capacitor? No problem! All you need to do to get back to the 14thish century is to pay $18!

The San Jose Renaissance Faire is a great way to spend a Saturday! Although, the prices for commodities were probably converted from gold because everything was expensive! $9 for a Turkey Leg!

There was a great joust event that was held twice daily, things to buy, three stages where shows were held through out the day, food stalls everywhere, and people dressed up accordingly. I think the most interesting part of the faire was the joust. The show was pretty well put together, though as with many things in this day and age, it had a lot of advertising and self promotion. The faire wasn't as large as the website made it out to be, but I wasn't expecting too much. It's a good way to spend a Saturday.
