Thank you for the comments/advice. I still have a lot to learn about LJ. I will check that thing I disabled, and I think I will boost the bio. I think I have a more current picture from Ducal that I can use for SCA postings. I won't be able to get to SSNewcomers due to dead car battery. I hope you get a lot of students. But I noticed you had Gaskells listed in your profile. I've been going to them since '84, tho' not as much recently. I'll probably be going this Sat. w/a friend, carefullly negotiating the piles of duffle bags that now populate the ladies room-it used to be a haven of loveliness! I hope to be able greet you properly sometime. We talked briefly at last 12th Night and Mists Coronet last year-I also had entered the Laurel Challenge-but I remember you carried the day! Matilda
Haven't been to Gaskell's or Peers in years. Lost someone very close to me two years ago and found going to dances where Women Of A Certain Age are invisible a waste of my time.
I'm trying desperately not to channel Guy Pearce in "Memento" here, but (a) I have a crap memory for names unless I meet someone a few times and they remind me who they are, (b) I meet a lot of people, and (c) everyone has multiple SCA doubles. It's the reason you can look at event photos from other kingdoms and swear you know people in them.
Oh, Gawd, that "Make something your persona would have used," challenge. Everything I make is to be used, which is why I submitted a binder of documentation and everything I made was in my camp where it darn well belonged, not museumified on a display table. Ironically, several items were stolen out of my truck earlier this year so I completely rebuilt the game table box and made new basket lanterns to replace the previous ones. Version 2.0 of the box is MUCH nicer.
