If you're going to produce garbage like this, I won't be subscribing anymore.
@@elizabethmoore8361 Amen! Glad I'm not the only one
the funny part is as of today, the very same management who were the focus of this documentary has now released a press release stating that TRF is distancing themselves from the reality show...
Heaven help all of us booth owning artists and the management of most Renaissance Faires that will have to spend the next 10 years explaining to the patrons that most of us are not at all like this. That most faires are not at all like this. That most craftspeople and artists are not like this. That we are just normal people with mortgages and insurance and kids trying to make a living.
My partner grew up going to and eventually working at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival and I can say for certain you are correct. Largely they're slightly odd folks who've found a way to make a living doing something they love. I feel sorry for everyone who's going to have to explain this ten million times each weekend.
@@lizh1167 exactly, we are a large family, we accept everyone into our family and we vary in levels of being slightly odd but not in a bad way. It makes meal times and get togethers way more interesting than the average family BBQ. But this makes it seem like we are all calculating, creepy and cut throat. Not my experience with the many vendors we have been fortunate enough to do many shows with over the last 40ish years. Nothing like trying to drum up viewership by giving an entire community a bad name.
Thhhiiiiiiiiisssss 20000%
I feel like every faire has at least a couple of these people mixed into the lot But that's a common theme in the Entertainment industry.
No kidding!
“He’s not crazy, he’s just thinking on a level you can’t comprehend” said of every single sane person in history…
...said every single cult member in history.
Kanye be like….
that legit sounds like what someone would say about their cult leader
@@ashleyc.6189y’all just…y’all don’t understand. It’s like a club that only people who think totally rational things can be part of. Club not cult, people!
Plz don’t tell anyone about us. Unless you think they would be receptive to a very cool and exclusive membership opportunity.
We look at you Elon Musk
I’m the guy cracking fire whips at the 21 second mark. I’ve been performing at this festival since 2010.
Spill the tea! Is the founder really ....like this?
I've seen you perform at Bristol. You put on an excellent show! :-)
I’ve seen you at Tex Ren for 5 years now! Love your shows dude, and convenient that they’re at the same stage as the birds of prey, those are my two faves!
@@redrenegade13I only met him once, so I wouldn’t want to comment on that. Most of my dealings have been with Jeff Baldwin and he’s been nothing but straightforward and fair with me.
I endorse this kind of commenting. Get it dude. Never really considered fire whipping but I’m sure it’s awesome. Hope you go far. You look great here.
Medieval Tiger King
I can dig it.
*Renaissance
@@jackdaone6469 too be fair, it's really just a "fantasy" fair at this point.
Bruh, as someone who has met both IRL, ol'JoeExotic has nothing on that squirrel George and his yes-men.
@@LittleBird_Tsisqua Intrigued
....except the first Renaissance Faire was started by PHYLLIS PATTERSON IN 1963 IN CALIFORNIA, where George was a stained glass vendor. As someone who has been performing on the faire/festival circuit since 2004 (and attending since the early 90s), I can already tell this is going to be a Trainwreck. Also, a good chunk of faires began, Not to "be like George". **longest exasperated sigh, in soothe** Not to mention the massive cultural-economical differences between a Renaissance Festival that is year-round constructed, versus faires who are more flexible in theme/time period/setting in their niche and are composed of tents on large lots/parks........on-site faires like Oklahoma Renaissance Festival, Scarborough Faire, Kansas City, Sterling, Bristol, Michigan; tent faires like Midsummer Fantasy Faire, Medieval Faire of Norman, Heavener Viking Runefest, Celticfest, and so forth.
yep...thanks for this post...it's all about the cringe factor anymore
@@LouKiss Thanks for giving credit where credit is due. And spouting facts. It is going to be hard to break people of their views of faires after this show aires.
Yes! Back in the 80's, I worked at both of Phyllis Patterson's Living History Center Renaissance Faires: in Black Point Forrest in Marin County and down south at the now burned Paramount Ranch in the Santa Monica Mountains (Agoura Hills) just north of LA.
She was the one who started Renaissance Faires, and they were amazing! She was serious about EVERYTHING being period appropriate, allowing a fully immersive experience.
It was such an wonderfully eclectic group of people that worked together to make it happen!
Good times, indeed!
You didn't mention the Georgia Renaissance Festival (a year-round constructed faire outside of Atlanta). What is it's reputation? I have friends who have or still work for them, and I've heard varying reports on their ownership and management. Thoughts?
@@RockneOliver to be honest, I don't know! I know folks who have worked Florida, Maryland, Arizona, several in California, New York, and Colorado, but I haven't met Georgia folks yet! No news is good news, I guess?
No matter how crazy George comes off in this, I can assure you, he's worse.
I know a handful of former workers, and I've heard nothing but horrible things about George. He looks and sounds VERY toxic in this trailer. 😬
This comment needs to be displayed before every episode
this!!!
"Faire cousin" from a different festival here.....I believe you and have heard the same :(
@@claytonjohnson3966 I've worked TRF for 20+ years. George is... yeah.
Everything I've ever heard about Texas Renneisance Festival management from the shop owners and staff make them seem like the worst people.
It's true (ex employee)
The shop owners are a mixed bag, some have been pretty great to work for, but they are all independent. Anyone actually official, yeah the worsy
That makes me sad because we go every year and love it. I do hate that it's just becoming bar after bar after bar. Pushing out the artisans
They were saying the shop owners agree faire management have major issues.
They used to have a couple of good people running the show but George has gotten more and more money hungry as it's gone on any sacrificed senior management that made the show run well for management that can bring in a few extra dollars even if it means backstabbing everyone else working there
The only worse person, arguably, is the guy who owns MN’s ren fest. MNRF is my home faire that I worked for 11 seasons, and heard from people who work the circuit that Jim Peterson is somehow worse.
This feels like a reality show masquerading as a documentary
It is, so was tiger king
It's a documentary in the tradition of Frederick Wiseman, which predates reality TV. Look up his films. Reality TV also echos Wiseman's work somewhat, which is why you could have that impression.
@@charlesleroq932 Very interesting! i'll investigate this thank you!
@@charlesleroq932 Thanks for that info!
I lived on King Georges land for a few years and he is absolutely crazy.
YOU should make a documentary (not being sarcastic, I realize how that could sound sarcastic in text but I genuinely want to hear your stories about crazy George)
What? Who came up with this? The Renfaires were first invented by Phyllis Patterson, history teacher, and friends in the early 60's in Southern California as a benefit, I believe, for KPFA. Then they got very popular, and eventually the Pattersons became the owners of the Southern and then Northern California Renaissance Faires, and the rest is history as others developed Faires around the country. I did the New York, Maryland, and Arizona Renfairs for 20 years, and remember with great affection my life then.
Close. Phyllis started out by planning and executing a summer continuing education event for the school her son attended, Laurel Canyon Elementary school. The program was very successful, and has a history teacher, she saw the potential for an event open to the public to fund more educational programs. I wasn't there for the earliest years, but did attend the workshops Phyllis gave on how the Faire started. By the time I became involved, it had been a not-for-profit 501 (c) (3) educational corporation for some time, and the whole purpose of the public part of the Faire on weekends was to make possible the education portion during the week. Schools would send entire classes of kids, from elementary schools on up to middle schools, and a select few of the performers and artisans would be there to get the kids involved in hands-aspects of life in the Renaissance. Once inside, those kids saw nothing that was period-appropriate and as historically accurate as we could make it; it was as close to time travel as is possible to do.
actually,
the First faire was in 1870 by Judge Dannely in FL when he held a Medieval Faire, but Phyllis is known to keep the idea going.
No, George made this renaissance fair
I know everything about the renaissance fair cause my mom and grandpa works there😊
Yes Phyllis and Ron Patterson started the first and original Renaissance Faire in the very early 60s - it was a benefit for KPFK, the Southern California Pacifica . They also taught at ISOMATA (the Idyllwild, School of Music and the Arts) in California, which was run by USC. They held their prototype faire - a Gypsy Faire there in 1962 I believe, a year or two before the first Renaissance Faire. I worked at the Faires for many years, mainly in SoCal.
I have a lot of friends who's worked Renfaire. The guy at the end with the hand cannon came and put of a salute at my uncle's wake with that thing. Just, been awesome. However every Rennie worth their salt will agree that George is bat$hit insane.
That being said, I wonder how many of them I'll know.
The pyrotechnician is also a completely insane narcissist and abuser. Fortunately, the majority of Rennies are lovely people.
He taught my brother and I how to sword fight and was a mentor to us he is a really good guy and funny af
I'm sorry, are they claiming "George" invented the Renaissance faire? That's a blatant lie.
Maybe they're trying to imply that TRF was the renfaire that set the standard for the rest of the circuit?
Still sketchy to say, for sure.
Hey man, carnies gonna carn
I thought the oldest ren faire and the one that “started it all” was Southern California Renaissance Pleasure Faire.
@@PahzWatchesTH-cam It is.
@@jackdaone6469 No, TRF did NOT set the standard and thank goodness for that.
There's a big one held at my local county park in Southern California. The park is usually empty, but the place is packed with caravans, large trailers, and cars when the Faire happens. People from all walks of life trying to have a good time role playing their favorite era. It's also a marketplace for local/independent artists to sell items they can't do anywhere else. I hope this documentary celebrates these people just trying to have a good time.
I used to work that Renfest back in the 90's. To this day its still one of my favorite experiences.
Louie is THE BEST!!!!!!!!! I worked for him for a few years and it was the best time ever.
I agree! Very kind guy. Seriously passionate about his job. He really showed a lot of compassion and care towards my family following a small incident that occurred. Great guy! I can easily see him running the whole show.
I’ve been to that renfaire, it’s insane how big it is… also singlehandedly the best firework show I’ve ever seen… and the fire dancers are no joke!
Haven't seen many fireworks shows have you?
@@SMVoid I'm sure the ones you put on are far superior. But yes, Solar Rain is a great act.
@@djvargr7199 I'm not saying I put up any and I'm not saying they are bad. I'm just saying if he thinks they're the best ever he needs to get out more....
those are Austin trained fire dancers.. The best in the world!
I remember some years back the owner of TRF has us print 30k flyers for him looking for a wife. It had so many requirements like can't be over 160lbs, no drinking or smoking, ect😂
I heard he put it in the Chronicle, too
@@hellotroggy oh my😂
Does not surprise me at all
Grrrl! My friend from Houston was his matchmaker back then!!!
As a former working peasant for TRF, i say King Louie has a nice ring to it. 👍🏽
Succession meets Medieval Times. Peak HBO would never!
The BLR "Medieval Fun Park" YT video comes to life!
Well, that explains the exponential price hike for tickets the last couple years.
Yeah I haven't been able to afford to go last year and I'm not sure about this year.
I'm sure that this is mostly fictional (like 90%) but TRF used to have some great people running it and it was really popular -- then George started replacing them with people who had no issues with backstabbing everyone else to get the faire a few extra dollars of profit each year. It led to a lot more money in sponsorships & a lot higher prices for attendees
@@joshuaandrade3971 They don't even have Sale of the Century anymore!
One of my friends couldn't afford to go every weekend anymore. He used to buy a season pass every year and go every weekend and he knew a lot of the faire workers. He'd hang out with me when I would go and would show me around and introduce me to his friends there in shops, performers, etc.
He has had to start working in one of the shops to be able to afford access at all. He usually works at a retail shop and like myself doesn't make enough money to pay full price.
We only have so many years in this life and it would be really fun to be able to "Lift up our cares" for a reasonable price.
Another friend of mine works in the shops to get access now too. She's a student and doesn't have the money to pay full price.
I finished watching it and yep! the price hikes are because of greed. We stopped going in 2021. It became so expensive every corner. Also the shows were repetitive. They don’t come up with new acts.
What I dont get is, no matter what event it is. No matter how much the raise and raise the prices.. More and more people keep going?!! Even now with terrible economy and inflation. They raise interest rates to get people to STOP spending.. and they just keep spending like crazy. People are Nuts now. Spending like crazy on everything and nothing stops them?!
We trusted the filmmakers to do our lives Justice when we allowed them into our back of fair lives. They did us an injustice with this making us look absolutely unlike what we really are. This is absolutely disparaging
I could tell, at one point it felt like a mockumentary or fictional movie.
@@LordJonRay As someone who was suckered by "reality tv" (what became "Extreme Cougar Wives), I can tell you that this is stock in trade. My condolences.
Never get in front of a camera without an agent and a lawyer. It never works out in your favor without representation.
@@haku-jin I made it to the last group of interviews for the reality TV Show "The Quest" years ago and didn't make the final cut. But it looked like they had a lot of fun on that show.
I use to run a pagan church. Over the 10 years we only had one problem with the local paper. I showed the article around to other pagan groups around the country and if they were upset about the article we asked them to email the reporter and the paper. Two weeks later the paper begged us to have people stop emailing them. Never trust a production company or news outlet unless you have a large flyswatter and a good lawyer.🧙♂
Why am I getting Tiger King vibes from this?
Cuz this guy is even worse! Doesn't look like you're gonna learn that from this. There's a podcast about it too.
@@TylerPaulson-mm8euwhich podcast? I need to learn about this guy.
Yesss! It definately felt that way watching it.
Comment section is a tribute to the Gell-Mann effect: Reading a newspaper article (or documentary) on a subject you know a lot about and seeing how badly they get it wrong, then turning the page and automatically believing whatever else they are reporting on. I've worked at this faire for 12 years.
Not sure if any of this is supposed to be real. Every faire is different, mainly because of the owners, and George is far from a typical owner. This is a unique faire and a unique story and very likely fictionalized in certain ways. However he may well be the most successful of all because he kept putting money back into his festival instead of taking profits and crying poverty when it comes to upgrading or paying performers. The amount of money flowing at TRF is staggering. Never met the man but there are stories and most of them are probably true.
The whole concept is fascinating to me; power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. It's a TRAILER designed to grab interest. I'll wait for the full episodes to determine how Ren faires in general come off. I've seen some pretty bad ones already. And people in general have no idea (and misconceptions) if they have not actually attended a real one. Great production and interesting concept to base it around the power struggles.
Is this the guy King of the Hill made fun of with that Alan Rickman character?
How now Gas Man?
Weird seeing a documentary set inside Ren Fest which me, my wife and our friends has gone to almost every year since 2016. We skip the last 2 years but this might get me in the mood to go again.
No more people need to stop going.. they keep raising prices yet people keep on going more and more all the time. It has to stop.. this is also why inflation won't go away. People just keep spending no matter what.
if safdie brothers made a fictional documentary
Wait so it IS a documentary?
It's not an actual documentary. It's a docu-drama, so the story is total fiction
What I read was the “fictional” part was added whimsy like if someone was in a statue garden the statues would talk. Obviously haven’t seen it yet, but it’s likely it’s real. The trailer looks real so far.
@@sweetinlace0105it’s real that George uses the excuse of role playing 24/7 and not “breaking immersion” to abuse anyone he sees fit
As a rennie this breaks my heart good lord
This looks cool. I'm from Texas and I love Ren Fest. Small aside, but everyone I know in Texas calls it "Ren Fest" not "Ren Faire."
I've been going to these things for years, and I'm still not sure if I should call them fairs, faires, or festivals.
The official name is Texas Renaissance Festival, so I think calling it "Ren Fest" either way is accurate. I've been calling it Ren Fest since the early 80's. :)
Long time TRF Patron, I've known allot of faire workers and heard stories. Very interested to see this.
Renfaires everywhere will have to live this down. This is doing a great injustice to those that work these faires and make a living as artisans.
I just finished this, and can't tell if it was supposed to be a documentary, or an A24 film.
Now I want to see an iseki were the people of a renfair are transported to a fantasy world and all their fake stuff is made real. There fair becomes an actual kingdom but they keep their memories and have to deal with all the other nations around them.
Brilliant marketing for the 50 year anniversary season. If it didn’t have drama and “Heros and Villains” it wouldn’t be a show. Just like the mini series “Chernobyl” was overly dramatized, it’s why it got all the views.
Reading the comments to this trailer has made me want to watch it more than the trailer itself. I'm so in. Can't wait to carve out time to watch.
Louie, slow down on the Red Bulls dawg. 😂
I know!!! I told my husband he’s going to die of a heart attack before he can buy the festival!!!
This is not a fair and accurate representation of the character of the people I know in this film. Please please know that.
Is it better or worse? 😂
@@mysticpirate Sadly, it's probably both. Word is Darla was led from the grounds of TRF in handcuffs last year, Jeff was already hired and fired as GM and is now back as Entertainment director as far as I know, and I have no idea how Louie would handle things if he got the "throne". All I know is that whoever it is will need to actually set aside their ego for a bit to take a hard look at what needs to be done to move TRF forward. In some ways George is a big picture guy, in that he always had an umbrella vision for the Festival, but most of that vision involved catering to his eccentricities. TRF needs a massive amount of infrastructure work on the grounds, and also needs to have a complete financial audit so whoever becomes the new owner knows what the situation is. It's pretty much guaranteed to be a shitshow regardless.
Thank God somebody gets it.
Blending documentary verité with fantasy, REN FAIRE - a three-part docu-fantasia
@@mysticpirate Honestly it's for the worst, that place is full of criminals.
i got halfway through the trailer wondering when Rick Flair would show up, but then realized i misread the title
Are we just not going to talk about the VERY obvious Wilhelm Scream added during the joust?
I had to rewind to make sure I heard it right…
I pointed that out too lol
They better not make Louie look bad, hes a really sweet soul
They dont but he’s way over his head
Succession meets Tiger King?? OKAY.
Elara Pictures should be ashamed of themselves. Lance Oppenheim unfortunately will now get the reputation as dishonest and misrepresenting when doing any more "Documentaries". HBO should not air the series.
If they lack the skills to actually make a real Documentary people will watch, Elara shouldn't be attempting them...
Just out of curiosity, who at TRF should this be about? My reality as a non-road TRF shoppe worker of 20+ years is different from the owner of King's Feast which is different from a cast member which is different from someone in the front office. Over 5000 people work at TRF every year. There's not just TRF story to tell.
My first job out of college was serving as the assistant horticulture manager of his garden. I wish I could say this was an over dramatic portrayal of his personality but it’s NOT.
thanks for showing every scvm playing their roles.
Shades of the movie "Knightriders", starring Ed Harris and Tom Savini, from the early 80's...
Only with horses instead of motorcycles
You'll be happy to know a few of the jousters here at trf😊 are the same jousters from Nightriders including Ewin the Invisible
My favorite George Romero film.
@@wickedeyestudios4940 Interesting tidbit, did not know that.
I go to Michigan Renfaire every year. Life in hollygrove is magical and i absolutely love it. Seems nothing like the trf portrayed in this show
Succession: 16th Century Edition
comments need to watch all 3 episodes, I really enjoyed it and wish more documentaries had even half as much style
To the person who made this documentary, if you want a subject for your next film there is a castle in Bellville,Texas called Newman’s Castle and I hear the man who owns it is nutty as well.
This is absolutely not representative of other faires. I cringe at the assumptions it will inspire. 🤦🏻♀️
I'd only watch it to see if I can catch someone who's wearing my costuming. It just looks like any ol' American reality series, edited for ratings, not honest storytelling.
Yeah, anything over the top or weird will be pushed and the reality of the day to day and normalcy will be left behind.
@@Bfordandafter I don't think this is about the everyday life of a Rennie tho. This is about people in leadership positions at the biggest monstrosity of a Ren Fest in the country, and wanting to control that multi-million dollar enterprise. Oddly, they went around trying to interview TRF workers back in 2022, and since then, that entire dynamic has already shifted greatly.
Used to go to the "original" Renaissance Festival in Marin County (near San Francisco) it was WILD!!!! some good times! 😂🤴🤺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
Love going every fall to the Faire . The fireworks show is top notch .
Thanks! 😊
Oh yes I love the fire show! My favorite part!
wilhelm scream not even 10 seconds in haha, so you know it'll be good
It's funny how things on HBO don't line up with the reality of what actually goes on and how much editing was done with this footage to make scenes that were taken from one place line up with another
They’ve clearly forgotten that “documentary” and reality tv aren’t the same thing. It almost seems like they’re going for mockumentary but only about half of them are aware of it.
Blending documentary verité with fantasy, REN FAIRE - a three-part docu-fantasia
It's not HBO anymore. It's "Max". That probably explains the decline.
@@mr.sa7anserv606 except we were approached and told it was a Documentary of Renfaires. Elara Pictures liked to the entire community.
This isn't based in reality!!! I'm live there.
Um no. The Peterson family began the American Renaissance Faire tradition in Southern California in the 60s. It’s well documented and the very least these show runners could do is get their facts straight.
Why did HBO find such horrible people to elevate on their platform? I am a Rennie, and I would love a documentary about what it's like behind the scenes, but this is just the usual "reality show" sensationalized drama BS where they find horrible people to film as rage bait. I refuse to watch things like this and I am sick of it. Do better, HBO.
No one would watch a documentary about normal healthy people doing normal healthy things.
I'll watch it twice to counter this mans protest. Do more HBO.
@@Tr1ckypants I am a woman 😆
oh, man this is going to be awesome. The comments are already a shitshow :) Rennies are the worst/best!
Unhinged. I am THERE.
and HBO will edit it to make everything way more unhinged than it is.
This is absolutely not a reflection of reality
@@wickedeyestudios4940 which part?
@@sweetinlace0105 all of it. It was brought to us as a documentary. They lied and made it into a Docu-Fantasia
@@sweetinlace0105 and to begin with TRF isn't the first faire NOR are all festivals modeled off of it. On the contrary, most are modeled NOT to be like it because of what it represents. How ever this film doesn't reflect the reality of TRF nor of Renaissance Festivals.
LOL! Shocked, shocked i am that someone figured to use a ren faire in the genre. Looking forward to watging it amd laughing my head off!
This is the real succession we deserved.
I am not impressed. This is very much unlike what we were told they were going to do. You were told it was going to be a documentary. It has become a typical HBO drama driven something. Most of this is scripted and not something they did naturally which is disappointing. Having worked this fair for 30 years and experienced in film I offered my help knowing the festival. This is not a good representation of the festival. They would have known that if they would have consulted any of us post-production
than k you for this comment.. it doesn't really shock me, and very sad to hear
@@memsahib313 the funny part is as of today, the very same management who were the focus of this documentary has now released a press release stating that TRF is distancing themselves from the reality show...
This really feels like they're trying to find the next Tiger King.
Oh, I can't wait!
I've worked 2 seasons of the Carolina Renaissance Festival in the King's Kitchen, more specifically making the the Turkey Legs. I always want to work more, but never found a path to a career working at one.
Louie should have His own show
Wow, i am part of the medieval-market Scene in Austria for ober 20 years. I must say this is something...different...
Excuse me????? He didn't start the Ren Faires. Total B.S.
Never said that.
The cosplay, the betrayal
It's an "Alex Jones lookalike contest" more than a ren faire.
What's that mean?
I've been watching this, following the plot and the film crew is genius; it's like have a narrator without having to listen to someone--and the narrator is hilarious.
Wo. Kinda sad though, and scary. There is a little of the "king" in a lot of old people
They are not implying this is the person that invented REN Fairs he is just the craziest. I don’t think anyone would watch that and see them saying he is the very 1st.
Well, I wanted the Bad Lip Reading GoT ren faire show, but his looks interesting too I guess
There is a movie with Ed Harris where they battle for the throne of the renaissance fair. Look it up.
Dear god, they figured out how to cross Game of Thrones with Succession...we are powerless to resist
idk what happened but the last two years ren fairs got really popular in the influencer and celeb scene?
ticket prices are about to skyrocket
Oh so this is succession
why people keep repeating that? There is no family
I went to this with a girlfriend who was a sociopath in the 90's and we had a great time but after seeing the inner workings of this place I can only wonder if the entire organization are all sociopaths....George certainly is. He's a nasty chacter. I'm glad I never went a second time.
This guy did not "invent" the Renaissance Fair, he's just some old creep
It looks wholesome.
Durrr
Oooh. Your flea market is themed. People are so creative.
Imma think of this while I have a succession crisis playing Crusader Kings 3
First time I went I wasn't even 10 (29 now), have camped every year for the past 6 years since it's only an hour away. Used to go more than once a year, then only one weekend, now only go in on Saturdays. Still fun, but they've gotten money hungry
OMG My late significant other worked this Faire for years.
I love the TRF I hope everything works out.
Here’s to hoping this makes TRF look bad and the ticket prices decrease
You’re high if you think they’ll ever lower their ticket prices LOL
Never been to a renaissance faire. It seems fun.
Worked as a mime here it was a lot of fun this is also where I met my wife
This follow up to Game of Thrones looks promising 😆
Lots of these people will tell you the government is bad then something like this will show you why. The people themselves are bad and that leads to bad government. How could creatives create something this bad.
It's this year's Tiger King!! HUZZAH!!!!!
Succession + tiger king vibes
Needs more Pride of Bedlam
Maybe once they write some original material and stop "borrowing" arrangements from The Bard O'Neill. 😆
Oh this looks sooooo good
Gosh I wana go to the Ren Fair so bad
This looks incredible
Oh my god, it's going to be the Warring States Period.
Yeah...some of the horror stories I've heard from a close friend who's had a stall at TRF for over 20 years. George should be in jail but he wont ever be since he owns the town.
A documentary about George and TRF should be interesting.
Too bad it clearly has very little basis in reality
