Several years ago I attended a renaissance fair because I was bored. It was very hot that weekend so I should have taken it as a sign I should stayed home. There were LOTS of strange looking individuals dressed up typical mid-evil garb. Maybe a dozen booths set up with people demonstrating mid-evil era practices and selling food items like homemade scones, which I like. As I walked around the low-attended event I came upon a tall booth with a few folding chairs in front of it that was being used as a “Punch and Judy” puppet show. Nobody appeared to be in the booth so I briefly stopped to decide what-to-do next as it was the last booth. All of a sudden I heard a male voice shout “good afternoon”. Startled, I turned towards the puppet booth to see a hand inside a sock puppet that was crudely made up with long yarn hair. I didn’t respond as I was freaked out and started walking in the opposite direction to the park restrooms. It was maybe 100 yards away, so I quickly walked to it and went in the men’s room to piss. As I was washing my hands this weird-assed tall dude with long stringy black hair, wearing renaissance clothes, stood inside the restroom door, which was to my side. He shouted “good afternoon”! His voice was loud and booming. I froze in place. It was the sock puppeteer! He scared the shit out of me. As I quickly tried to make my way past him, he asked “how is your ass faring”? I didn’t respond. I just walked out of the restroom and made a b-line towards my car. As I walked I remember saying aloud “feets don’t fail me now”. I looked behind me several times to see if he was following me. Thankfully he wasn’t. As far as I could see, he remained inside the restroom. I was genuinely freaked out and drove to Dylan’s house to tell him what transpired over a cold beer. I will never go to another renaissance festival again.

It must have been a truly crappy Renaissance Festival. Punch and Judy didn't appear until 100 years later and was originally a marionette. The hand puppet version did not become standard until the 1700s.

I was able to get Dylan riled up later and he and I went back to the festival together. He wanted to see this creepy guy for himself and confront him over his lewd behavior towards me. The puppet booth was empty as were most of the other booths. The fair had closed down for the evening early because of nobody turning out due to the heat. Dylan wanted to beat his ass. I was jumpy and anxious for days afterwards.
