Would you be able to tell us the backstory of the picture with the guy & the flaming sword? I see one maybe two other guys laying out on the ground... and I'm really interested
Edit: That sounds really entertaining Schultzie! This is going down on my list of must-sees. Cheers
The faire I've been going to is the Bristol Renaissance Faire in Kenosa, WI. It runs from early July to the end of Labor Day weekend. After next weekend they pack up and go off to their next location.
They have their big jousting tournament at 3:00 each weekend. The one jouster, Sir Maxmillian is a bit of a cheater. He gets called out on it so they decided to joust to "the death" at 5:30. They do a bit of jousting before they get off their horses and start fighting each other. Maxmillian grabs one guy, holds a sword to his neck, then "kills" him. He also kills one of the squires. One of the other jousters is killed and then there are only two left standing. Maxmillian then lights his sword on fire, there's some more fighting, then he eventually is killed with the last jouster being the victor. It's the first time I've seen it and it was pretty fun to watch.

sup guys, long time to see! Uploaded a bunch of photos today. Here are a couple from Zion National Park in Utah. More pixels here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/eriksaurusrex
Awesome stuff guys! Just took this one at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle. I wish it was a bit sharper though. Think my fstop was set to low, or had shake from low light.
