Yesterday, as I was sickly laying on the couch, I watched a documentary called Darkon. It's about group of people that create a real-life dungeons and dragons-esque world in Baltimore.
I went to a Ren Fest once . . . once. The only thing I enjoyed was throwing rotten tomatoes at the head of some dummy that stuck his head through a cut-out circle in a plank of plywood. I should have known though. Using the fact that I don't like people in general, I should have assumed that I wouldn't like people dressed up in Ren attire and speaking in Ren tongue. Darkon's wouldn't be any different. To each their own, but keep your 'own' away from my 'own'.
I saw that documentary. It's good to be enthusiastic about your interests and hobbies, but these people take it way too far. I was amused by the pair of "real-life" friends who ended their friendship over one's choice to "defect" from their "army" and socialize with another "army". If it looks like a geek and it talks like a geek.....

You should hear what the Ren Festers have to say about you, Jared.
