The second video () is interviewing Jon, my soon-to-be brother-in-law. Sir Brian and myself are standing behind him. What was great about that was that Jon hadn't been doing armor for very long yet, and it's very stylized non-functional fantasy armor made by the only plate-armor maker on site at MDRF. When the guy walked up and wanted to interview one of us, Jon happened to be standing closer and Brian and I got asked to take some pictures by people facing the other way. I actually thought that turned out well since Jon speaks well and we could let him take center stage a bit.

Go soon-to-be BIL Jon!  Where was this done?  I see you and Sir Brian are girded with swords.  I love your interplay in the background.

This was at MDRF out in the "Serengeti" area, near the test of strength game, jousting area way off to the right and O'Shucks a short ways to the left. The swords we bring there are of course not real.

That's the first time I've seen the bracers and roundels on your kit, Sir Edward.  Nice additions!

Thanks! Yeah, I need to figure out a better plan for those. I was using a combination of the bracers over the leather cuffs of the mail gauntlets, and the two would keep each other in place. But it means I can't take off the gaunts for important things like getting money out of my pouch, eating, etc. So lately I've been doing the lazy thing of going back to my old leather gaunts and bracers. I'm wondering if I need to point the bracers to my arming shirt or something so I can use different gaunts with it, or something. I'm still thinking about it.

Oh, absolutely.

"Squire, carry my banner"

"Squire, help me in the privy"

... OK, maybe not that last one. :)

Unless the squire is a girl, not related to you, of course.  ;)

And then, just think of all the sword puns you could toss out there...

Sir Edward, would your squire follow behind you banging a pair of coconut shells everywhere you went?  ;D

Absolutely! So far I've done that only a few times. It's hard to find a good squire, even if it's only for 10 minutes. :)
