Re: It is not easy the Re-enactor life

Reminds me of a time....I was doing a living history at the museum with my pards and about 25 yanks.....we were setting around the camp fire discussing the home front...when all of a sudden a white car pulls up next to us...my wife gets out and tells us that she's pregnate! So, I get in the car and her and I go to walmart to get another test to make sure...and you should of seen the looks....my girly-girl wife (love her heart) dressed in jeans and pink sweater...me wearing an ANV uniform complete with slouch hat!Last edited by lukegilly13; 12-12-2008, 06:41 AM.Luke Gilly

Re: It is not easy the Re-enactor life
The same for me on an CW event in Germany, we had no water on the camp and we had gone to 5 also in ANV to buy some water in a small market of a small German village with my Old Volvo 740, the head of people in the store :) :) :)William Miconnet

Re: It is not easy the Re-enactor life
This looks like it will be an hilarious gem of a film. Will look for it on DVD if it isn't released in US theaters.
My husband and I caused quite a stir in TGI Fridays Last Sunday evening when we arrived in our Harper's Ferry 1864 Christmas civilian wear. The wait staff gathered to see how I'd manage to sit at table wearing my cage! We've never had such fine service!

Re: It is not easy the Re-enactor life
Klingon, the new language of romance! I walked into a walgreens for some motrin after an event. I did not realize how funny looking or smelling we were until I noticed the look on the clerk's face when I went up to the counter.:sarcastic
Good stuff, I'll be looking out for this one.

As one who has done that time period (for 15 years). I can so relate to the openiing os so well. I have seen it happen many times. Even to myself once at a living history site. As I was explaining weapons to a group of Boy Scouts, my cell rang ( I was the event co ordinator) and the kids would not let me live it down. As far as the bit about the funeral. Last year when one of the groups "king" passed away. 80% of those attending where in period garb. To include armoured knights. And no I was not one of them. The movie looks too funny for it's own good. I have to get a copy.
Thanks for the morning laugh!Comment
