No, it wasn't at a Renfaire or a Vaguely Medievalish Tymes dinner theatre.
It wasn't even at an SCA event, God save the mark. It was at the 143rd
Calvert County Jousting Tournament at Christ Church in Port Republic,
Maryland. That's not a typo: they've been doing this for 143 years, through
two World Wars and a Depression. Ring Jousting is the state sport of
Maryland, as it turns out--yet another strange thing about my strange new
home state.
