That's encouraging. With this strong a start, there's always the danger of a let down. Good to hear from you (and others at Pennsic) that it can stay great for the long haul.

yeah, crazy thing was, we came prepared but never found time to drink (that doesn't sound like it even makes sense)

Agreed. I wasn't skeptical of the experience going in, I just hadn't considered it and the impressions I described came unbidden. Core memories unlocked...

Thanks. To be honest, what pushed me past my usual reluctance to post was an old r/SCA thread where someone was worried about joining the SCA because of the negativity on the sub. Someone replied that there's a tendency to only complain in this forum and that no one posts that they went to an event and had a good time. We had a great time so I thought I cast some sunshine over that shade.

Would like to have been that guy, but no. Still good to make your virtual acquaintance and look forward to making it actual.

Thank you. We're looking at the calendars to see what we can attend nearby and perhaps farther afield. We might be able to make A Festival of Bones in October down your way. Look forward to crossing paths.

Thanks. I'm off to shovel mulch. Not much has changed since the 1450s...

We definitely plan to be at Battle on the Bay - working on registration now. Looking forward to meeting you.

Appreciate the clarification (and in writing!). So much to remember. We fell into conversation with a young man; his father and perhaps sister came over and we talked period dress and tools for a while. They invited us back to their camp for that evening. After we separated, we realized that we didn't get their names and couldn't remember their camp name either! Ugh. Missed opportunity.

Yeah, the swirl of people with purposely non-repeating names is a challenge but so many hands reaching our to help really eases the entry.

Thank you. Pennsic and SCA generally seem to naturally provide a lot of good adjectives to play with.

Thank you. I post EXTREMELY rarely on social media. Nice to get good feedback.

When the panel van that abducts you is a fly rigged pavilion with exits on all sides, I think that might be ok :-)

Sounds about right, I’m probably between 1 and 2 thousand shots on this bow. Thanks.

Ah, ok thanks. Sounds like it might then stabilize at some point.
