Opening weekend MDRF
« Reply #150 on: 2011-09-10, 22:26:49 »
I'm thinking light armor tomorrow. It's still been damn humid out here today. So basically I'll leave off the helm and chausses, but the shield etc should be ok.

Btw, this tapatalk app for the forum works great.

I'm not sure if I'll make gate tomorrow, but I'm planning to go in garb. My armor is "in between" status since I started a few things I haven't finished with it yet.

Well I'm going in armor-lite given the high humidity. I hope to get there early enough to get some decent parking so I can change out my helm with my leather hood if it gets to hot.

Hey, what about this weekend?  Supposed to be in the 60s...the 60s!!!  That means full armor, garb and cloaks!  At least for me it does.  lol

My rig is still being tweaked, and I'm fairly busy.
I really need to find out WTH our athletic director is thinking with consecutive Saturday soccer games..... ugh  :P

Better on Saturday than on Sunday...especially now that football season's back in swing.  ;)

No effect on me. I don't watch football.  ;)

I'll be there in full armor. I'll make sure to take my cell phone as well, can't be sure I'll be able to hear it if I'm wearing the great helm though!  :-\

Next weekend I'm going on Saturday only, I think. We're running off to a wedding (someone else's) on Sunday.
