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.
