I'm kinda suprised that a LOL'SCA picture site hasn't been created yet, some of the photos all over the archive would fit perfectly.

I think El was bigger than Rosey. Fighting him was like attacking a castle.

Okay, my favorite is the guy in panty hose and biker boots capering over the carpet-blob monster.

Yeah, that is pretty great also. :-)

Here's a link to a page with some ancient photos from Meridies.

That is me marshalling, at the ripe old age of 17. This is circa 1985 or so.

Asbrand,

Do you recall if there were any Black Diamonders there from Atlantia at that event?

The helmet on the right looks a lot like a relic from Black Diamond known as The Helm of Ishmeal. I know a lot of Black Diamonders went to Meridian events back in the day.

Tis possible. I remember meeting a few back in the day. But...I've slept since then.

Damn Az, if you handed me that picture and said you were in it, I never would have been able to pick you out.....

On second glance I don't think it is. That one seems to have some sort of rondell on the front

I don't have the pictures but I saw them at Midrealm 40 year: Guys fighting barefoot.

Isn't that a Duke ( John the Mad Celt?) ?

Posted: **Fri Nov 06, 2009 7:06 pm**

Yes. John the Bearkiller (ground) and John the Mad Celt (in flight)

Posted: **Fri Nov 06, 2009 10:46 pm**

They are both dukes.

Sir Iain from here in Caer Mear used to do that too until they changed the rules and made him wear shoes. (that was before my time)

Turn shoes...might as well be bare feet :twisted:

Not sure who the Knight on the right is but that is Duke Olaf Askoldsson on the left in the black. I remember that helm and armor from back in the mid 80s.

Holy Oldies Batman. That is me in the foreground at my first event. First, no I don't know what that is in my hand or what I was doing with it :lol:

Man that brings back a few memories.

So here is a pic about 10 or so years after the first pic I posted. (roughly 84 or 85)

Whitewolf Sr. on the left facing Sir Arik Alton who used to be a master and still wears exactly the same kit today.
