So i went to the pagen pride thing this weekend. and of course it looks more or less like a ren fair. ha ha ha. any way off to the side near the stage is a little section where i see a bunch of people play fighting. after checking out all the booths i head over and see whats going on. well it was free with a signed waiver, so of course i was totally in.

played dumb while the guy was explaining the rules and showing the hits and all that jazz. when we finally got everyone going in the "ditch" or team battle. A round or two i was fooling around to keep them off their guard. after that though, they figured out i was the one to beat and eventually all the kids kept group rushing me. ha ha ha. and this one guy had like a little personal rivalry toward me. it was pretty funny. anyway this went on for a good long amount of time. and now my lunging leg hurts like hell and oddly enough my back muscles are hurting the next day. might just go and do this on the weekends in the park where they apparently really want me to come to regularly. :) twas fun.
