Ninjas and dark elves at ren fest?

[javasaurus]

What was with all the ninjas and dark elves this weekend? Was there a sale on black fabric at JoAnns or something? Very strange...

It brings to mind a question. How LARP friendly should a renaissance festival be?

If it's an APPROPRIATE larp, as in having to do with something vaguely Tudor/E'bethan, I'm okay with it. As long as it doesn't detract from or interfere with the "intended" street show, it would certainly give the regular faire attendee something to do besides drink to excess and deal with everybody's personal drah-mah.
