Medieval Times

So this Friday Danielle and I went to Medieval times. Yes that place that they go to in Cable Guy where they watch some dudes joust and eat with their hands.

It's pretty expensive to go, but if you ever have a free evening, are in one of the cities where Medieval Times exists, and are into "silly" things like Medieval Times, then I would recommend going.



The evening starts off when you arrive at Medieval Times and get your crown that tells you which knight you are cheering for. Then it's time to wait in the waiting room, Danielle and I did this with two Medieval Times souvenir flagons, and a pitcher of beer. You are advised to arrive about an hour before the evening starts so that you can get better seats, and hang out in the waiting room and buy things. During this time you can also get knighted, but it's mostly nine-year-old kids that do this.



Then it's into the main arena and time for the festivities. This is where you watch the actual show and where you get to eat. If you eat meat (shudder) you get potatoes and a little BBQ'd chicken that you eat with your hands. Vegetarians get mixed veggies, a backed potato, cheese quesadilla, and a spring roll, that you eat with plastic cutlery...tres 11th century.

While you eat the show goes on in front of you, there is a little plot involving a war and a tournament and things like that (I won't ruin it for you in case you go). The tournament consists of games of skill, some falconry, some horse training displays and the battle between the knights.



The show lasts about two hours, and in addition to the food you get two pepsi's and a coffee. Here is a quick video you can check out: VIDEO our knight was the red and yellow knight.

More on Saturday night later.
