What size is the armour/you?

I've read a lot of the Pennsic information over the years, and I have a question I haven't seen asked; what historical sites are within a few hours of the Pennsic site? I know you can't have a ghost camp, but if you went for most of the event, and a couple of different days in there wanted to roam t...

Lady Audax,

Either Steppes, or Glennn Abhan's Cracked Anvil: I haven't checked distances yet, but Cracked Anvil is sometimes closer to me.

Are the Warlord folks doing that four-in-one tourney again this year, have you heard?

Where are you folks fighting this upcoming Memorial Day Weekend?

I don't even know what key lime pie is..but I've lived a sheltered life, in many ways.

Val

Valstarr Hawkwind

If it's going to be a la mode, then make it pecan pie If it's pie by itself, make it apricot..from dried apricots properly stewed, not the canned stuff. I like pie. However, this fighter-Logan issue hasn't come up in some time, and I fully understand where some not having read past scores of posts o...

Valstarr Hawkwind

That is truly tremendous work.. if you're like me, and don't look at a lot of pics of compoeted armor/fighting creation projects, you now nonetheless know where to go for top of the line belt and scabardry craftmanship.

Will you accept a money order, rather than paypal?

Val

Valstarr Hawkwind

I only read a few/some/dozen posts when topics like this and CA come up, so I may have missed this being a regular part of the discussion, but, to throw another log on the bonfire.. Isn't part of a fourth peerage talk a precursor for finding ways besides winning Crown tournaments the way they are cu...

Congratulations, indeed!

Don't we/didn't we have rapier battles with CA in them in Ansteorra? IIRC, there was a more stringent limit on the type of arrow head that could be used.

Someone please correct me if I'm in error.

Audax, I literally BOLed at your reply.. I started a thread a year or two ago on state rivalries and how they compare in the SCA.. others posted some of theirs, but I'm still not sure there's any more happy of a union of two such rival states anywhere else in the Known Worlde, as Oklahoma and Texas!...

Valstarr Hawkwind

That we're your well-loved fellow Ansteorrans? OK, I've only read the last 50+ replies in this thread, but there've probably been over a thousand I've read in nearly 11 years here on the AA. I once bought a full kit of CA gear, and got authorized for it, but even when I was still getting out and fig...

My apologies, folks. I've had bronchitis for weeks, finished my second batch of antibiotics a day or two ago, and feel worse now than I did a week ago. I'm going to probably take off later today, go to a cabin and rest, and come back Sunday in time for church. I've traded a lot of e-mails/PMs with A...

Valstarr Hawkwind

I'm running into some challenges here, too.

If I may ask, how big is the 'postage stamp' area?

No offense intended, but if I came, it would be to get the dust beat off my armor, and meet some of you folks.

Foiled by Hal!

Is it too early in topic to threadjack it?

If not, I have a couple of suggestions;

1) Don't give her Alcy's number

2) DO give her mine!

An Archiver dinner sounds great!

Greetings!

I saw on the Calontir Coronation website where there were going to be heavy pickups that day..how many Archivers plan on being there?

I'm planning to be up in the far northeast part of OK this next weekend, and KC isn't a huge drive from there.

Does it seem to anyone else that, when you've absolutely no money to spend on armor, that the most incredible buys (like a hauberk for a guy my size for $100,) pops up; yet when you think you could take a little money for such a use, these types of finds are nowhere to be seen? Is it just me? Val

Valstarr Hawkwind

I looked at the Talbot sight, but didn't find (I didn't look realy long, though,) a part of the site for maille selling.

I hope things get better for you, Andrew.. we're all human, and have all fouled up at times!

Val

Valstarr Hawkwind

Andrew, First, my caveat; I fully know this is JT's site, and I'm able to post here out of his kindness. He does what he decides to, and it's fully his right. Now, to address part of your exposition; this site isn't a courtroom, and shouldn't be conducted like one. If we were going to conduct all po...

Wishes for as much health and happiness as possible to you!

Something Vitus brings up reminds me: I actually liked Steve, based on some of his e-mails, and genuinely hopes he gets well.. he had moments of lucidity where he would amit his failings frankly.. his wife was supposed to, at at least at one point a few years ago, be helping him get back on track. T...

Valstarr Hawkwind

I think that makes sense, I'm just too tired to think it out fully!

I'm confident you're trying to do things the right way..my wishes for a happy resolution for your friend!

I'm not curently a vendor, and am interested in hearing what the actual ones here have to say, but I think you have unintentionally slighted all the good vendors with the one you/your friend have issue(s) with. For, I read your post, and am now naturally curious and wondering: who is stiffing this g...

Valstarr Hawkwind

Actually, Morgan has gone a lot longer than four years...twisted story here. (BTW, BAD Corey! No bacon for you! Actually, I literally BOLED at the 'genuine wombat experience'.) A little over 10 (number is correct,) years ago, I was trying to get my first kit together, and was looking for a pair of f...

Steve gets hammered on these fora every couple of months, but, sadly, there is a reason. He is very skilled, it's just that you may need the equivalent of rolling six natural 20's in a row to see the stuff delivered within a year. If you or your friend really must get rid of money on one of his proj...

Valstarr Hawkwind

Providing I get a new auth card (mine expired yesterday,) I plan on going this year, barring too much sickness. I'll probably not arrive until sometime, possibly late, on Tuesday the 17th. I haven't camped out at an event in over 20 years.. I'm going to give it a try.. if I can't hack it, I'll come ...
