#*($$%!

one of the most beautiful pieces of music written imo, not sure what that stuff at the end was.

The song is "The Gael", by Dougie MacLean.

My obsession with long torsos continues. Cute face too.

P.s. Why all the electronics? You'd think ren faire would be unplugged.

I love the sound of Irish and Scottish folk music, the girl is pretty mesmerizing too.

Wow. That was beautiful by both audio and visual measures.

Other than the douche-bag ending, that is, with motorcycles and stupid library pranks. What a crap cap on a great video.

Why was "I dream of Jeanie in the background?" =)

Yeah yeah, I play alotta vidja games!

this tune is just begging for a fast thrash metal remix..

On the "Renaissance Fair" scale:

Song: modern
Instruments: modern
Clothing: pure fantasy - "Lord Of The Rings prostitute" meets "Jack Sparrow"

Rating: perfect fit for a renaissance fair.

I think I have to wear a Mr. Spock costume for that.

Eh, it seems closer to the adaptation used in Last of the Mohicans.
Compare, "The Gael" by Dougie MacLean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4v8pM7cHrT8
Last of the Mohicans: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygNuRpwZqRU

Notably, at 2:30 in the Last of the Mohicans theme, a second melody is used on top of the repeating motif. In this video, the violinist also starts playing that part at 2:30. No such melody appears in "The Gael". But perhaps there are multiple versions of "The Gael".

The Texas Ren Fair is one of the coolest experiences. I have gone every year for the last 15 years at least.

It is only about 2 hours from my house.

Another Texas sifter! Im actually less than an hour from the festival myself and I hardly ever go but always plan a trip in my head. You think there would be a lot of dirt about the eccentric owner on the web who fancies himself king of the area and supposedly he lives in a castle. I don't know how much of that is hearsay but eh whatev.

You should make it out there this year. It is a must see/do experience. Over 50 acres of things to do and see. Live jousting, music, magic, animal shows (the falcon show is awesome), things for kids, lots of beer and cleavage, great fair food (smoked turkey legs are a must), even live blacksmithing and glassblowing. There are a lot of people dressed up in period garb and everyone is generally pleasant. It can get crowded and if there is any rain there is mud galore, but it really is a trip back in time.

You may even catch a medieval wedding in the old chapel or the royal procession making its way through the streets, fake king and queen with a full court in tow.

My wife got "abducted" by barbarians one year. They just grabbed her and threw her over their shoulder. I had to "fight" a big, shirtless barbarian with two-handed swords to get her back. Random, but very fun.

Huzzah! Ye Olde English for SCHWING!

Hardly hot, but still neat.
