Montaner claims to be a descendant of Charlemagne. Actors portrayed 11th-century jousting of knights of the northern Spanish and southern French kingdoms of Aragon, Navarre, and the village of Perelada, using stories derived from Montaner's family history. Montaner converted the barbecue restaurant on the family farm to entertainment and food venue. The first two Medieval Times-styled shows were developed in the late 1960s by Jose Montaner in Spain at Majorca and Benidorm. In 1962, jousting was designated as the official state sport of Maryland, a Southern-adjacent state, by the Maryland General Assembly. Īfter the end of the Civil War in 1865, and into the early 20th century, jousting tournaments remained a popular pastime among Southerners and ex-Confederates, with some even referring to the joust as the "National Sport of the South". Per one description of the event, "They rode in rags and barefoot, but with great enthusiasm." There was another famous jousting tournament held during the Civil War on the lawn at Monticello near Charlottesville, Virginia in the fall of 1863, where "Confederate soldiers and their ladies hosted a splendid tournament when the Yankees were bragging that even a crow couldn't fly across the valley without their consent". During the American Civil War (12 April 1861 – ), tournaments were held less often, but still occasionally occurred, including one account of an Alabama Confederate cavalry regiment holding one such event at their winter quarters along the Potomac River. Īfter 1840, jousting tournaments became popular entertainment in every Southern state south of the Mason-Dixon Line. Gilmor had come up with the idea after witnessing the popular, but ill-fated Eglinton Tournament in Scotland on 29 August 1839. William Gilmor, a wealthy descendant of Scottish-born immigrant Robert Gilmor (1748-1822) of Baltimore, Maryland, organized the second official jousting tournament event on American soil at White Sulphur Springs, now part of West Virginia, on 28 August 1841. The tournament proved to be popular, becoming an annual event, and the joust is still held each year the third Saturday in August on the same grounds. The first jousting tournament recorded in the 19th century, listed as the "oldest continuously-held sporting event in North America", was first held at the Natural Chimneys in Mount Solon, Virginia, in 1821. However, Americans were unimpressed jousting would not become popular until the 1800s. ![]() The event was organized by Major John André, a Frenchman and officer in the British Army, and Oliver De Lancey Jr., a general of French Huguenot descent, to honor General William Howe, 5th Viscount Howe, who was stepping down as commander of colonial British forces. The first recorded jousting tournament in America was the Meschianza, which was held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on, during the American Revolutionary War. The history of jousting tournaments in the United States began in the Colonial period and the Antebellum period. Medieval Times at Exhibition Place in Toronto, Ontario, Canada Medieval Times founder Jose Montaner was uncle to the Count of Perelada, with the Count holding stock in the company until 2016. Medieval Times in Schaumburg, Illinois, displaying the coat of arms of Peralada, Spain, and the Viscounts Rocabertí, lords of Peralada Castle.

Medieval Times Entertainment, the holding company, is headquartered in Irving, Texas. (Forks are available on request.Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament is a family dinner theater featuring staged medieval-style games, sword-fighting, and jousting. The volume of food alone is impressive enough, but have you any idea how technically difficult it is to serve rotisserie chicken at a temperature high enough to pass health and safety inspections, yet cool enough not to burn the fingers of a thousand middle-schoolers? It's a remarkable high-wire balancing act, and Medieval Times does it five nights a week, sometimes three times a day. I remember being served "dragon soup" as a child, with a consistency more like cream of vegetable, but it was tomato bisque on my most recent visit, and tomato bisque is listed on the downloadable PDF of ingredients on the Medieval Times website. There is also tomato bisque, which one drinks from a large metal bowl with a long handle. They had run out of corn on my latest visit, and offered half a kielbasa or an extra piece of potato as a substitute. ![]() Besides the chicken, Medieval Times offers a blunted potato wedge, a half-nubbin of corn on the cob, and garlic bread, all eaten out of hand.

Madlib covers more ground than eminem in the rap game his style is way better go listen to sum quasimoto and lootpack then tell me madlib can't rhyme.įormat: Vinyl, LP, Album, Limited Edition This beat is sicker than the original song, NICE. However great Madlibs new beats, many of which revolve around a lot of horns and still more of the typical glitchy samples Madlib is known for, are, its almost impossible for the new songs to compete with the old ones, and thats the curse of Madvillainy 2: The Madlib Remix. When listening to a remix of a song where I dont recognize Dooms verses, I dont compare it to the original, and thus can appreciate it more. But in general, the tracks where I dont recognize the original right away, I prefer to the ones where I do. ![]() All Caps remix, titled Never Go Pop, brings in a jazzy-piano loop and a subdued drum beat and works very well. The beat is a great one, and has a lot going on, making the fact that Doom has been up-staged completely forgivable. Its much more peppy and upbeat and, in keeping with the albums tradition, brings the focus away from Dooms great rhymes. Figaro remix No Brain is chosen to open the album (after a brief intro), as opposed to the original, which was a mid-album highlight. Its a great song, with tight rhymes about keeping it real overtop a glitch-y beat, and a surprising to find on the album. Monkey Suite, a new addition to the album, originally released on the Stones Throw compilation Chrome Children, is left seemingly intact. Obviously dope! This double LP vinyl version also comes with a free digital download of the entire album. For the remix, Madlib revisits the project and gives fresh beats to the classic collab effort (apparently he made it for personal headphone listening right before a 10 hour flight to Tokyo). The original Madvillain was one of the illest collabs of all time, with MF Doom arguably at his amoeba genius prime, mixed with the unpredictable stoned beat aesthetics of Madlib. Madvillainy 2 The Madlib Remix was previously only available as part of the Madvillainy 2 Boxset and a small batch of white label pressings (which flew out of the Lab with the quickness), but now it finally sees a proper reissue complete with comic book.

Comes in unicorn, fox, dino, or penguin design. *The buttons can be finicky, which is somewhat annoying (it can take a few times to turn it on or off), but the overall functionality of this little thing is still worth it, in IMO.

Trust me - having a super-portable white noise player like this is SO much more functional than trying to use a white noise app on your phone on the fly. ![]() It also comes with a little fastener clip to easily attach to a car seat, diaper bag, or pack ‘n’ play.

You can even get the Hatch Baby Rest+ ($89) for a few bucks more to bundle an audio monitor with the whole thing, too. Actually, it also has an OK-to-wake clock function, too - though you won’t need it for years, sadly. The Rest is a night light/sound machine combo that we love (two birds/one stone…).

This has only one sound setting (whoosh), and two volume settings, but that’s honestly all most people need.

There are two runaway favorites in the white-noise-machine only category - and you can’t go wrong with either one: Yogasleep Marpac Dohm ~$47 We’re super into these combo products, especially because some of the top manufacturers in this department - including Hatch and Yogasleep (formerly Marpac) - make really high quality products that can last for years to come. **Much like with night lights, we’re starting to see many more noise machines that also offer other features, like a night light and/or a speaker and/or a clock and/or a monitor (SO many different iterations…). (BTW, there’s nothing super special about baby sound machines - they’re basically the same ones that are great for adults.)īut yes, having one can make all the difference in drowning out loud neighbors, cars, sirens… other siblings (ahem).
