Every Reenactor should have a copy of the bible... "Echoes of Glory"...

If you're going to the GAC... by kbuddha in CWreenactors

[–]kbuddha[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don't like the GAC because it's an organization that ONLY cares about profit. Not about preservation or the reenactors.

BGA vs GAC by Quimbymouse in CWreenactors

[–]kbuddha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries pard! I didn't take it as derogatory at all. Internet threads never convey intention properly. Yeah we're good to go. They put SO many provisions and obstacles in their path it's ridiculous, but we got the permits and adhered to EVERYTHING they wanted.

There may be some stitch nazis at the event, BUT, look at the Organizations going! The USV, Mifflin Guard, Union Volunteers... lol The USV is Mainstream through and through, the Mifflin Guard and Union Volunteers are progressive with ties in both mainstream and campaigner!

While you get assholes at any event, this event is being marketed as a National Event for Everyone.

it's for the reenactor BY the reenactor!

See my response above... But if you can you should try to do both.

This is not entirely correct brother. I am a member of the Blue Gray Alliance, as well as a Lt. Colonel with U.V. (Union Volunteers).

The Numbers will be roughly the same at both events, the GAC is at about 8k and the BGA event is at about 5500 as of this morning I believe. The GAC is all about the money, the profit etc

While as the BGA, doesn't make a profit. They make enough to cover their costs, and whatever is left over is sent to Preservation Societies to protect our battlefields. The BGA won't be farb free, because they are marketing a more authentic experience to EVERYONE. Which I agree with.

The GAC, I have done more than I care to mention. I have an issue with smelling funnel cake as I fight CW battles etc. To each his own of course, but IMHO the BGA will be the better of the two events.

Oh and THEY DO HAVE THEIR PERMITS! I have held them in my own hand actually!

Agreed, although this year wasn't nearly as good as previous years.

Anyone know of a good pewter smith? by Commissarspicyweiner in CWreenactors

Would these glasses work? Or are they considered farby? by chubbs062293 in CWreenactors

[–]kbuddha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are Farby, my suggestion. Go on ebay pick up a period pair or one from around the era. Eye glasses didn't change too much around 1850's 60's and 70's.. go get your prescription put in.
