"It wasn't the reward that mattered or the recognition you might harvest. It was your depth of commitment, your quality of service, the product of your devotion -- these were the things that counted in a life. When you gave purely, the honor came in the giving, and that was honor enough."

Last DoK Dress Rehearsal

For the first time I got to wear all my stuff at once!  One last look in the mirror before packing it all up for DoK!  Can't wait!

Awesome! Where'd you get the pole for the banner? I need to get one, I'm checking the local home depot and crossing my fingers, but if you have a lead for me.... :D

Thank you everyone, several years in the making!  I had to keep the visor down or you would have seen a pretty goofy smile on my face :)  I must thank my wife for making that surcoat (1st attempt too!), it really makes the harness pop!  We should get a chronological progression shot of all the Order's members while we're there!

Sir James, I could not find the poles at Home Depot, but Lowes had them.  All I could find on Home Depot's website were 48'' dowels which were no good.  Lowes showed these on their website so I went there instead (Home Depot may very well have them too, but Lowes and Home Depot are about 1 mile apart here, so I went where I knew they'd have them).  They were in the molding/trim section of the lumber area, and came in 6', 8' and 10' lengths.  Mine is 8'.  They're not perfectly straight, but it doesn't really need to be.  They are sturdy and pretty light.  That 8' one was about $12.

I'm going to try and get some better shots at Days of Knights so I have more 'period' stuff in the background, then I will be sure to post on AA!
