Wonak (Distance Learning Developer), Trupe's wife, is going to Las Vegas soon for a work conference. I told her it will probably remind her of Medieval Times, a giant medieval jousting-themed restaurant where she worked during college.

Wonak: I remember the King and Queen were played by a recently divorced couple. And the knights and squires were all really into it, slowly working their way up over years. I went on a date with one of the squires. We saw 'Mask of Zorro' and afterwards all the knights and squires were like, "Did you see that one horse trick? We have to work that into the show!" I heard there was a coffin on the roof of the place and supposedly someone had sex with one of the serving wenches in it. Or maybe it was one of the photo wenches. Anyway, that gives you an idea of what some of the people were like.

Wonak worked on the sound crew. She didn't have to wear a period outfit, just a shirt that read, "CREW." She would also DJ the dance in the royal hall that followed the jousting match. Patrons could enjoy a brief dance party after dinner.

Wonak: It was fifteen minutes long. There wasn't much music to choose from. My boss would always have me play 'Sister Christian' at the end to give people the hint that it was almost time to go.
Me: Oh... so it wasn't... medieval music?
Wonak: No no.

Is Trupe playing that game where someone makes a circle with their fingers and if you look they get to punch you? Does he get to punch most of the people who read this blog?
