5. Klingons

I went to a RenFaire in Southern California about 15 years ago. A group of geeks decided to attend dressed as Klingons who had traveled through time back to Elizabethan England. It was hilarious watching the two sides argue while never breaking character. Ijust about peed myself.

17. Similar thing happened here

A nearby town, Vulcan, naturally has an annual Star Trek convention. One guy once showed up dressed as Darth Vader, and was the hit of the weekend.

Not quite a RenFaire, but similar enough for the purposes of this discussion...
