ren fest silliness?
Suppose the year is 3572, and they're having a 21st century festival -- they'd have a quaint little city on the ground! with shopping malls, football stadiums, theatres, lots of archaic displays of two-dimensional television, sidewalks that don't move, etc., and maybe a ren fest!! A ren fest within the 21st century fest. Hmmmm...
Imagine being Will Riker and beaming down to what you thought was a post-industrial planet, only to be confronted with Henry VIII and grovelling peasants!
Imagine having a Roman Festival at a Tudor ren fest. Maybe a 1/2-hour or 1 hour series of events on the joust field, all in chitons (is that the word?). There could be an archery contest (here, deputy, hold this target), a short Roman play, racing (didn't they do that in the nude? Or was that the Greeks?), bear bating (Um...we couldn't find a bear, so we're using one of the deputy reeves), chariott racing (the jousters won't let us use their horses -- oh, deputies!)
