Hwaet. For all of you RenFesters, I would like to let you know where you can hang out all year and get your Medieval cup filled: there is a museum in NYC called The Cloisters, which is a castle- actually four pieces of castle from different countries, all pieced together-- and is filled with Medieval art (including the Unicorn Tapestries) and gardens. There are special programs (lectures and concerts) all year long. Our family traveled up there a few years ago and heard Benjamin Bagby http://www.bagbybeowulf.com/ recite the first third of Beowulf in Old English (with Celtic harp, no less).
I believe Hood is sponsoring a bus trip to NYC in the near future, so consider going up and enjoy this beautiful treasure of a museum!
