On the weekend of October 12th-13th, I made my perrenial jaunt to the Texas Renaissance Festival. The site had several new offerings including a new joust troup and venue, a greek food section with some tasty offerings, some excellent new acts such as the Minstrels of Mayhem and Wolgemut. There was also a new addition to the garden area. On the site of the old battle mound is the Roman Basilica. With some careful planning I managed to see a lot of shows and cover most of the terrain. No small feat since the area is over 55 acres. I even manage to do some socializing.

The previous description and all these wonderful images are brought to you by Frank Hui. Because of his devotion, I have nothing to add. --Robyn Sotherby

Sound & Fury at the Odeon Stage	They are performing Romeo & Juliet 2.0	Verona is besieged by 2 feuding families	Romeo decides to crash the Capulat party to see this girl Rosaline
He instead finds Juliet, a sprite maid	They are enraptured of each other at the dance	Later the famed balcony scene	Let's try that again
On the Gerald Springer show Romeo airs his dilemma	Tybalt is also there to hash things out	A spidery duel that leads to Tybalt's demise	A heartstricken Juliet fakes her death to be with her Romeo
The schemes seems to work	Rosaline enters however to throw a kink in the works		Are these guys twisted or what?
