We were driving through the quaint downtown area of one of our neighboring communities last summer when we passed two teenage boys dressed up in tunics, capes, and other SCA-ish items. Better yet, they were fencing enthusiastically as a ring of onlookers (a few young girls, a couple with a baby in a stroller) watched.

But best of all, when they finished the duel they bowed with a flourish of swords to each other and both pulled their free hands down in a vertical line in front of their faces like, "And...scene."
