New York Renaissance Faire

I went to the New York Renaissance Faire this weekend, something I've been wanting to do since 7th grade.  I sometimes hear people talk about these kinds of festivals, wishing they could live like that every day.  I wouldn't necessarily go that far myself, but certainly Monday through Friday.  I'm not sure I'd ever invest in a full Ren Faire wardrobe, but the pewter beer mug attached to the belt is a fashion trend I certainly embrace.

I'm looking forward to heading back in a few weeks when they switch gears to the Forest of Fear, where I can hopefully photograph their haunted house.  Between this and the upcoming New York Comic Book Convention I've got a pretty nerdy Fall to look forward to.

The Great Jack O'Lantern Blaze

An annual display of over 5,000 hand-carved jack 'o' lanterns, The Great Jack O'Lantern Blaze is a celebrated fixture during the Historic Hudson Valley's fall festivities.  Located at Van Cortlandt Manor in Croton-on-Hudson, NY, the Blaze is within driving distance of Sleepy Hollow, which has its own array of Halloween-related celebrations this time of year.
