I've long been a fan of the wacky, amazing and FREE Bishop's Castle in southern Colorado. I had always hoped someone would come along and film a documentary of the castle builder, Jim Bishop, as he's quite the character.
The Craftsman is 30ish minutes of stunning views, back story and of course, political intrigue...
Why not take a trip into the Colorado mountains this year and see it yourself?
Someday, I'll get to go to Gulf Wars. It looks like tons of fun! And, looking at the map of the site, it looks like a huge event. Just check out this open field battle video and tell me you wouldn't enjoy that! Hulk smash!
Here's a short video that gives a nice clear shot of the castle. Granted, it's not quite as grand as the Pennsic castle, but it sure adds a touch of realism. If this were a real attack on a real castle, it would be the opportune moment for some boiling oil, what with that logjam of fighters in the doorway...
It's not ALL bashing each other with sticks, though. Hide your weapons at War, lest they become part of a freeform duct tape art sculpture tower! Did some Burning Man people sneak in to Calontir lately?
Ok. I am officially jealous. Maybe next year...
