Final.four were rounded out by Khalil and Gnaeus both of whom had amazing days.

I wish I was going to be. Seriously, I turn this book manuscript in and immediately jump into my whiskey and bourbon book, so much of my June weekend time is going to be spent at distilleries (I have a really, really hard life). I will try to send you Seth.

You should come because we like you.

My best guess for a final four are Auk, Kenneth, Samuel and Khalil, but with caveats based on things like health issues of the day. This is almost an unhandicappable list - Cona's recently off injured reserve, and while he's a great guy, I'm not sure he has the stamina to make it through a list this...

I heart Caillin

Eirik, granted, I'm the one who pushed for the Meridian horse badge (and love it, and wear the cotehardie with the horses), but when did we become the "stallion throne?" (I'm willing to give you Adhemar's faint resemblance to a very young Stallone, but still ...).

Zig, if he wants it.

Very cool - and Sven's squire Ciar was announced for the Laurel, so I'm really sorry I wasn't there.

Does Edward want it? Cause you know, Edward. And I owe Mora a dress, so ...

The modern concept of the kilt was the creation of an English businessman as an alternative to the belted plaid round about 1725 or so, for workers in his Scottish iron foundery. His business lasted about a decade but the kilt stuck, got adopted as a military garment by colonial-bound Scottish regim...

Mwah ha ha ha ha! Lanea, I can't believe you went there. Ah, the jokes for the next 11 months.

The final four were: Ailgheanan and Kenneth (finals), rounded out with Gnaeus and Wolfgang. I think my favorite fight of the day, other than the finals, which were beautiful, was one between Kenneth and Gnaeus. THL Bart was offered the accolade of knighthood, for those who know him - I think many do...

So final four were Ashi, Caillin, Loric and ?

Seth is finally starting to heal. He fought left handed at Border Raids, producing more Jamie Lannister jokes.

azure d'or

Ha ha hahaha! You are awesome Dietrich.

Final four will be Ailgheanan, Samuel, Kenneth and probably Geoffrey. Dark horses are Khalil and Gnaeus. Ailgheanan has had a minor injury, but he will be fine. Of those six, four are major sewing commitments for me. Sigh. I am never going to get anything new made for myself, even though I am out of...

I would really love to see Caillin and Danielle win. They are awesome people, and funny as all get out.
That said, I suspect a James reign would be pretty fun.

Final four: Caillin, James, Ashi, Lorccan

i could be ok with Martino and Ariel again, love them dearly, but there are lots of people in the list I wouldn't mind seeing on the throne.

Love it!

I hope there are more shots of Cailleach' s elevation.

Those are great, Ursus - I am happy you got the smelt, as so many of the pics are of my husband, Duke Seth and of our friend Viscount Elesar.

Cunliffe's "Europe Between the Oceans" is required reading as well. Of note, there are plenty of real, serious Iron Age Celtic/Gaulic folks that play in the SCA world, not just the guys in plaid cotton Walmart pants sporting fake Irish accents running around the Pennsic food court.

I'm with Charlotte. I pre-wash nearly every piece of wool that comes into my possession. I've only once had someone further shrink a garment I'd made him of wool, and he put into a full machine set on hot, then a full dryer set on hot, and it got fulled within an inch of it's life. Back from Gulf Wa...

Ok, who is teaching what at Gulf Wars, where and when, so we can keep up with each other?

I'll be teaching a class on speculative patterning for women's Norse caftans in Early period Life on Tuesday at 1 p.m.

Nigel was another one who was on Saturday. His fights were a blast to watch.

azure d'or

Final four were Brannos, Ailgheanan, Ivarr and Palymar. Best fight of all to watch was Brannos Ailgheanan - damn!

azure d'or

Brannos, duh.

I'd really love to see Nic and Ciar. It may not happen this time, but it will eventually.

Don't even start me. Rest assured, when he moved here he was not welcomed nor has the Midrealm welcomed him since he started to play there after we gave him the cold shoulder. I've heard a collection of rumors upon why this was not acted on in Ansteorra, but it is all hearsay.

azure d'or

Um, come to Gulf Wars. Horses are a big part of it.
