Urgent plea to the universe

[yakalskovich]

Dear World,

you have about five hours to be stopping this deluge already. Or I shall be infinitely pissed off.

Please??

ETA: It's still raining now in the afternoon, and icy cold. We're not going. I'm REALLY pissed off!

This is not nice! The weather I mean.
Also, they do turn a bit funny in Kaltenberg.
No weapons, then they do this Excalibur thingy and then no more fotos!
What's next? You aren't allowed come in costume if you aren't officially part of the crew/decorational crew?

I think this might be a classic case of pissing off the niche fan base with measures to attract a more mainstream audience -- same thing we saw happen with Apocalyptica.

Funny thing with Kaltenberg is, originally, they aimed at the typical Bavarian family with kids; then, they sorta got hijacked by the growing medieval fandom -- both the costumed lot and the 'black scene' that is into Corvus Corax.

And suddenly they have goths, Goths, vampires, werewolves and real ministry folk (remember year before last the time we went with the standing room tickets?!) on their hand. I think we scare them, and they want to re-mainstream themselves to people that drink more beer and don't cheer for the Black Knight.

Haha! Yes, remember the looks we got each time when we cheered for the Black Knight?

Those Normalos seemed to be genuinely irritated that someone actually supports the bad guys. But honestly, the good guys are so pathetic, I'd rather support the local fieldmice.

But I really don't get why they don't allow private photos on the internet any more? Or do they also fear that those will attract more of that black folk?

Yes, because we are SCAAAAAARY!!
