1:04 PM - Lazer X returns to Des Moines, Iowa... (posted by
JohnPaul
)
Not really Renaissance festival related, but I am trying to help get the website indexed in Google faster so I thought I would mention it here...
When I moved to Iowa in 1995, there was a laser tag facility in town at Merle Hay Mall called Lazer X. It has been long gone, but now someone has re-opened a brand new laser tag center downtown. It uses the Lazer X name and hardware, and the original owner of Lazer X is part of the operations.
http://www.lazerx.com - Laser X laser tag in Des Moines, Iowa
That website is hosted here, so check it out if you are interested in laser tag. It might be fun to do a Ren invasion there sometime (since I know many rennies are also in to sci-fi and role play and such).
And if you need a Renaissance connection ... the owner is Dave Wicker, the electrician that helped wire Festival Park (Des Moines Renaissance Faire). He also operated Canterbury Sausage (food vendor) at the festival the first three years. He sold his shop for the 2009 season, and it was used by Ames British Foods.
So there.
