Today was our visit to the Renaissance Festival Part Deux. With two free tickets, it was a given that we would visit the festival one more time. Today was a hot day at almost 90 degrees (32c), so before it got any closer to summer and truly hot days, we took the hour drive and had a nice slow day walking the grounds, taking in the shows. We couldn’t resist watching the Wyld Men for the umpteenth time; the Nunnie Nuns drew a large well-deserved crowd, but today’s favorite had to be Dextre Tripp and his Thrill Show. Exploding fireworks taped to his body, balancing 18 feet above the stage standing on a ladder above 150 people armed with 300 water balloons aimed at his head, Dextre has a show and audience rapport that makes him one of the best acts at the fest. This was the first time we saw the death-defying side of his show, although balancing on a slack rope over the stage is probably not all that safe either. Nor would the juggling chainsaws, come to think of it – ok, so his entire show is on the verge of danger, but we like it.
