This weekend we traveled to the Great Lakes Medieval Faire.  It is one of my favorite faires, aside from my home faire in Pittsburgh.  This faire is relatively small, and they make up for it by packing it full of great stage acts, music, and an excellent street cast.  I haven't seen their numbers, but they don't seem to draw as many as Pittsburgh. Yet they still manage first-class entertainment.  They've got everything from Hack & Slash to The Rogues and The Pyrates Royale.  Plus, everywhere I look I see a friendly face.  I see friends from Pittsburgh, vendors that I know, stage acts that I've met before, and my new friends from Ohio.  Don't get me wrong!  Pittsburgh will always be home, but GLMF feels like home.  And it's a good feeling.
