Yep, I'll bring my gear. We'll see how exhausted we end up at the faire.  Maybe armor-light isn't a bad idea.

There is that as well...give us an idea of what we're in for. ;)

Of course soft-kit might be best if we're planning to fight some. I dunno. I certainly have several soft-kit options that I can get in and out of quickly enough.

Well I've been thinking about this as well and going to work this morning I get the impression that our region of the country is going to have a mild summer since our spring temperatures have been consistently below average and I'm hopeful we'll have more opportunities than usual to wear our armor.

That said, I think I will wear my soft kit and then change into and out of my fighting gear so this Sunday will then essentially be a full dress rehearsal as Joshua put it for our first demonstration weekend.  ;)

Sounds good to me. I won't get to wear my new soft kit just yet, since the tunic is still in the exchange process. But I have other soft kit options of course. The important thing is that I'll have the opportunity to wear the new footwear and fight in it a bit (with the proper insoles this time).

I won't be able to make it this weekend due to multiple other things (Avengers, tweaking my armor some, hinging/strapping/pointing my sabatons, car maintenance). However, I will see everyone next Friday!

That is good Sir James, good luck.   ;)

Sounds like a plan Sir Edward and Sir Brian.   ;)

I can't be there as well.  :( Family commitment.

Understandable Sir Nathan, I can say the same with me.  Tis chivalrous to be there for family.  ;)
