gurdymonkeySomeone thoughtfully uploaded a PDF of the gate book to SCA West.
"Trespassing is against the law and is a punishable offense. Gate crashing or sneaking onto the site using false or expired tokens is trespassing. [And you would do that how, given that there are new site tokens each year and the gate attendant ought to know what the valid ones look like?]
This is an act without honor; a sense of honor is what our Society is built upon. There is no honor in committing the act of trespassing or in aiding the commission of the act. [Duh and verily.]
Do you really think the sort of people likely to scam their way onsite are going to read the gate book?
My class proposals made it onto the schedule. However, half of the description for Beginner Taiko is missing. Not a word about wearing loose clothing (I am not responsible if someone rips the armpit out of their cotehardie) or the fact that attendance is limited to four participants. It's listed at 12 to 1 PM on the class description page and 1 - 2 PM pm on the schedule grid, where it may - or may not - be double booked with Persian Dance - which isn't on the class description pages anywhere as far as I can see, so who knows? Time to write a note to the nice people who claimed to have lost my class descriptions on the first go-round then fessed up they didn't actually open them, even though GWW makes you use their forms for class proposals, which are, surprise, email attachments.
Oh, and it's being held in the Open Arms Bardic Hall. Never mind the so-cutesy-I-wanna-puke-name, clearly it occurred to no one that putting beginner ANYTHING in a public stage area means you've just put said beginners on the spot. Because Bardic In The SCA Clearly Means Never Ever Having Performance Anxiety. Except me and that poor bastard who ran out of the hall in a blind panic at that Bardic Champions up in Albany in the dead of winter. Frankly, it's a relief not to be beating my head against that brick wall any longer.
Can I throw a sake tasting without overdoing it on the snacky bits? I never can tell if people are going to eat them or not and it's gone both ways.....
