Halloween Shenanigans?
Lori and I are going to our church's harvest festival this evening, which is essentially a more wholesome alternative for kids to acquire candy and get dressed up at, etc., and we'll be doing so in kit and Faire Garb. Should be a fun evening; will post pics.
Anyone else doing anything fun this weekend? Anyone else throwing on their Ranger garb?

Nice. I'm doing the exact same thing as you and Lori tonight, Greg.

I did my Ranger gear two years ago, but I try to mix it up. This year, for instance, I will be Sherlock Holmes, and my wife will be a female Watson.

Re: Halloween Shenanigans?
I try to, too. This is actually my first year wearing anything "Medieval" since dressing as robin hood as an eight year old. Last year I stole one of my brother-in-law's work uniforms and went as "John Mathews the Tow Truck Driver." Half the church thought I'd gotten a job there...it was rather humorous...though awkward, since Lori decided, unknown to me, to dress up that night as her own father, complete in Nascar fan shirt and hat, drawn on goatee, and beer belly...Chris Russo wrote:I did my Ranger gear two years ago, but I try to mix it up.

And here are a couple photos...
Two Rangers and a Christmas caroler.

Re: Halloween Shenanigans?
Ernildhir, good looking gear you have there! Did you make the bracers and jerkin yourself?

Re: Halloween Shenanigans?
I spy with my little eye...a Clarke Pennywhistle?!?!

Re: Halloween Shenanigans?
Thank you, Kaelln. I did not make the bracer nor the jerkin (if we can call it that... I think it's closer to a breastplate). I did shape it to my chest, stain it, and paint upon it the emblems of Númenor, though.
Greg -- that is a pennywhistle, but I'm unsure of whether or not it is a Clarke pennywhistle. I don't know what sort it is, and I'm too lazy to walk downstairs, pick it up, and look for an indication at the moment. Perhaps I'll check later.

Re: Halloween Shenanigans?
Does it have a painted-on diamond shape between each of the toneholes?

Re: Halloween Shenanigans?
I just looked at it... it doesn't have that diamond pattern you described, but it does have the name Clarke's painted on it, so I suppose it must be a Clarke's pennywhistle.

Re: Halloween Shenanigans?
Ahhh...it's the new, non-ugly model. The diamonds were tacky. The new ones sound a little brighter, too. I like 'em.

Re: Halloween Shenanigans?
It's good to know that I have the non-ugly model.

Always a perk, eh?Ernildhir wrote:It's good to know that I have the non-ugly model.
A bit late and a bit lame, but I DO have ONE picture from halloween. I know there were at least half a dozen pictures taken of myself and my wife, but none of them have popped up online except for this one, which isn't exactly a winner. They forced Lori and I to judge the kid's costume contest since we were dressed up, unlike 90% of the adults in attendance. It was cruel, though, since she knows 1/2 of the kids personally. Anywho, they caught us "deliberating" amongst ourselves, and the result...
She had JUST taken her cloak off...that thing is gorgeous. I took my full kit out there, bedroll and all, and the one picture managed to omit just about everything. Go figure. We had a great time, and are looking forward to next year.
