Valhalla Renaissance Faire & The Northern California Pirate Festival

This is our friend Peter. He is a Pirate. Nuff said.

This is Chris. He is obviously delirious. He spent 3 days busting his butt in the wind and sun getting and keeping all of the beverage equipment running for the Northern California Pirate Festival in Vallejo.
The festival expected 5000 people total. They had 15000 the first day alone. You do the math.

The two weekends prior to the pirate festival, we both worked at the Valhalla Renaissance Faire in beautiful South Lake Tahoe. It was pretty, but grueling also. Chris runs the beverage department there and that means set up, equipment, managing people, dealing with things breaking and running around like a crazy man. Festive. We do this why? Oh yeah...because we are supposed to be having fun while we do it.
