New York Got Medieval this Weekend

Lords and Ladies, did you attend the Medieval Festival & Renaissance Faire this past weekend? Incase you missed it, here are some images from the event, in which Manhattan's Fort Tryon Park was transformed into a medieval market town!

In other Medieval news (seriously!), the writing team of Thom Woodley, Matt Yeager and Bob McClure (who you know from The Burg) created a bunch of shorts based around Renaissance Faire employees called All's Faire (video), based on their feature screenplay of the same name. They tell us that after releasing the shorts and passing it along to some Hollywood types...Hollywood turned right around and developed their own Renaissance Faire flick titled All's Faire in Love, starring Christina Ricci. Perhaps the two groups could settle this with a joust?

If Christina Ricci were starring in the film you linked to, wouldn't her name appear somewhere on the IMDB page? And wouldn't this film appear somewhere on hers?

Perhaps judgment was impaired by the thought of the combination of Matthew Lillard, Cedric the Entertainer, and Bill Engvall.

sorry self h8ta, but it is an andean condor & if you don't believe me you can contact Earth Quest, the people who provided the birds.

just saying

Why didn't Gothamist tell us about the Faire before it occurred instead of after?

Too late to attend now.

Zodak- that is not a condor. an average condor's wingspan is over 6 ft- that is a turkey vulture.

Weird that everyAframe and NannyState are angry at people who have a hobby they enjoy, are happy, and are not hurting anyone. What is it you are hoping to accomplish by being so negative?

In related news, the skinny weird guy named Demitrius in 3-B still hasn't gotten laid.
