I don't believe there was practice today. It usually is the first sunday of every month. There should be practice at the same place on wednesday.

Brigade practice is the first Sunday of every month (usually). It may just be the odd Sunday where no-one shows up - it happens.

A few of us from Calafia went to an out of town practice today. We will be out on Wednesday and Sunday. We will make sure you get plenty of fighting in.

I would say no, not cheap.

The internet is your best bet for cheap linens unless you want to go to the LA garment district - for which I recommend a native guide.

If you had a free day and wanted to make the trip to the Garment District, a native guide could probably be arranged.

Blaine, I go to the LA Garment District a few times a year.

I have found linen at various stores. Is there one (or two) that your native guide prefers?

It was good to see you again both on and off the field. I hope your reign is a fun one. See you at Pennsic and maybe Gulf War.
