So in discussing my previous entry, [livejournal.com profile] holli and I came up with an absolutely *brilliant* idea to do at next year's Renaissance Festival. It's such a brilliant idea that I hope no one has thought of this before... or at least, not to the extent that we have. This is to be done with a group of friends, at least one of whom has to film it all.

First, you send in one person dressed from head to toe in perfect, normal Ren Fest type gear, just like a typical guy in costume... but made up to look like Data from Star Trek. Then after awhile, you send in a second group in full Starfleet uniforms who will walk around the Festival grounds examining their surroundings, muttering about the "Prime Directive," and remarking on things like, "This holodeck program appears to be malfunctioning. Macaroni had not been imported to England during the Renaissance, nor was it served on a stick. And not a single person is covered in fecal matter!"

Then when they catch up with Data, they'll say, "There you are, Data! We're your rescue team! We thought he'd lost you forever when the holodeck malfunctioned again! And what *are* you wearing?" "I am blending in." And so on.

The best thing would to actually come up with a real storyline and film the whole thing. I'm not sure what else could be done... I think I heard about Klingons going to the Faire before... hey, maybe EVIL LINCOLN? Any other ideas?

I am totally up for this. It must be done.

Commenting for two reasons:

1) So freaking awesome I can't even muster up a coherent, creative way to say it's awesome. (Fantasmagorical, maybe? Except then I start wondering if it's spelled Ph-.)

2) I was way more surprised than I should have been to hear that you know [livejournal.com profile] holli! We used to hang in the same IRC chat forever and a day ago. Ah, lj makes a small world even smaller.

I don't know if I'd ultimately have the guts to pull it off, but man oh man, we gotta.

It totally does! Small internet, anyway. Yeah, she and I have hung out several times. We're movie buddies.

I would pay money to see something that awesome. Not, you know, a lot of money, because I'm poor ;).

Well, that is just generally awesome. I love looking at 'net social circles.
