SCA, anyone?

Feb. 10th, 2009 at 11:26 PM

Totally spaced on the fact that Uncle Rashid is coming down to an SCA event local to me on February 28, so Q and I are going. It's called "A Day in the Middle East" and it looks like a pretty relaxing event, so it should be fun (hopefully Q has off that night so he can enjoy the whole day). With luck Uncle will stay the weekend - yay!

If anyone else is local or in the DC/MD/VA area, let me know.

I would love to go and I actually have nice but simple middle eastern style garb, but alas, it's too far away. Have fun anyway.

It's quite far for Uncle, too (he's in NJ), but apparently he knows the Baroness down here and he's trying to be less anti-social, so I benefit. Yay!

I'm only going 'cause Uncle's coming. If they're a nice crowd maybe I'll do another one, but we'll have to wait and see.

well around here my experience has been that most groups are fighter centric and kinda eh to the arts. the exception being the group in Beaver falls area but i am to far away to play with them. evidently they judge where you are supposed to play by area code. and i get to be in hunter hell i mean hunters home for the aged.. i mean just hunters home again. The only time i had ever done anything with them was at Pennsic Practice and they made us all go to bed (as unruly teens and young adults since i was twenty (do you remember twenty. cause i am getting fuzzy on it) at 10 pm. cause of the old codgers that wanted sleep and the fighters and archers that had to get up really early for practice on the field.

but yeah most fo the little events i have been too were very fighter centric and low on A&S except for middle eastern events. they are always a lot of fun.

Interestingly, this event is specifically billed as a non-fighting event, per some kind of tradition, so there might be hope for the folks down here yet. :)

that's one of the reasons it seems so nice to me. I never did a feast for an SCA event but i miss doing them for some of the larp groups i hung out with. and for holidays.

Wow, you've never done a feast at a local event? They're usually quite awesome.

Hmmm, it's only 3 hours away. If I can find my garb, could I invite myself, and possibly give Uncle a lift?
