Yesterday's visit to Medieval Times was a total bust. I did not enjoy it at all. As a kid, I had gone to a similar spectacle in France where the performers were actually wearing full-body armor and doing real jousting and combat for the duration of the event.

Well, at least the food was half decent ....

We also watched It Might Get Loud, a movie with guitar heroes Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), The Edge (U2) and Jack White (White Stripes) talking about their love for the electric guitar and how it all got started for each individual.
