Just got back from an evening at Medieval Times
It was quite enlivening. The swashbucklery and horsemanship were pleasantly well-choreographed, and the entire family enjoyed the meal and the show.

Crass commercialism was everywhere, but didn't diminish from the quality of the experience.

Has anyone else visited this complex in your neck of the woods?

2. I applied for a job at the one in Orlando
but then I ended up moving 1200 miles away, so I never did follow up on that. :P

4. Commuting would be a bitch, no doubt...
I guess you'd have to take the "Knight" Train.

5. Actually I'm kind of surprised they didn't call me back right away after seeing my application.
There wasn't enough room for me to write all the related skills I had. :P Between my martial arts training, experience with chainmail and leatherwork, ect. it added up pretty quickly.

Ah well. Their loss.

9. Yeah... i wish i could get my cornish hens to come out like that...
The one down in Orlando is creepy to walk around in the daytime (the 'village'). The torture chamber stuff is terrifying up close.

It was great fun. I lost most of my voice from all the yelling.
