Spring is upon us and love is in the air! So, how shall us geeks celebrate the great out doors?

Typically, we do our best geekery indoors. Our computers live there, our televisions live there, our game consoles live there, our comics live there. Besides driving to the store for geek fuel (teh fudz) or the occasional family barbecue, why would we go outside?

Society for Creative Anachronism!

Nothing says “I love you” more than beating on each other with large, foam-padded weapons. Right?

I’ve only dabbled in this form of geekery so my experience might not be typical. A group of my friends get together every year to set out on a quest. The Dungeon Master spends a few days to create a scenario depending on how many are going to participate. Then he gives everyone their role and they set out to a park to reenact the scenario. Everyone is outfitted with foam padded PVC weapons and foam padded arrows. The game starts and the beatings commence!

Okay, so that doesn’t sound all that romantic. But it’s something geeky that you can do outdoors with your sweetie!  And there is a connection between violence and sex.  So after a hard day of kicking the crap out of each other, there could be some extra action at home.
