Cave Gladium 2008
It’s time to move out again! Furth im Wald was calling for their medieval festival which took place this weekend – and I have to say, it was amazing! 140 groups showed up for reenactment. In other words – they had to expand the area another time. Here’s a short review of the highlights every day:

Ouch!

Talking about security, you should never drop any good habits or lower anything due to laziness – nature will strike back. Promised.
Imagine sword fighting with children using padded swords could be considered to be harmless, don’t it?

How to mass murder
July 25th, 2007 by Stargazer
In history it was a common way to capture people for either getting them compliant to your ideas or killing them. Let’s sum up the ways and means for depopulating lands:
- Some kind of (imaginary) delict
- Fear
- Torture
The job itself is done by some mad man, instigating the people. An impressive demonstration that this works was done at the medieval age as the inquisition was on its way. Regarding the fire burning, is it still correct calling it ‘the Dark Ages’ ..?

Petting zoo in Feldkirch?
June 4th, 2007 by Stargazer
Another year passed by and it is time for the Montfort event, the medieval market of Feldkirch. It is like a home match for me. So I decided to come around.
My chain mail and leather armor should go with me. But you know the people? They could not keep their fingers and dumb questions off me. The adults were worse than the children. Now I know how animals may feel in a petting zoo.

What do you NOT want to do today?
May 2nd, 2007 by Stargazer
Well… To be honest, I am not really in the mood for doing great things as I returned at about 02:30 this morning. So I will try to relax and let my bruises cool down…

Knights in Munich – Day 5
May 1st, 2007 by Stargazer
This is the last day and we are finally breaking down the camps. Five days are a really long time for such an event. At 20:00 we started moving out back into the civilisation for getting rid of the dust of the last days.
I would like to say thank you to the people who made it possible and did that many things for us against great odds like aggravated fire protection requirements. Thank you very much!

Knights in Munich – Day 4
April 30th, 2007 by Stargazer
This day is a monday, a nice day indeed – if you do not have to work. I had much time to do some shopping. So I got me a gambeson and chain mail. The latter had to be modified. But I think there will be enough time…
