MASHS Free-play day
Sir Edward:
Yesterday I went over to the MASHS Sunday free-play, and had a great time! I had met a lot of the folks previously at Longpoint, but not all of them. This was a great chance to fence with a bunch of people I hadn't fenced with before. Some of the guys over there are pretty skilled. I also fenced against Larry Tom, and we had some excellent exchanges. It was a real pleasure.
Also, Sir Brian and I finally got to cross blades (in a nice way, of course). :) He's a natural. I wouldn't have guessed he's only been at it for a few months. Some people stay noobish for a long time, and others learn quickly. I think Sir Brian is the latter.
As for me, I felt a little accident prone yesterday. I have a tiny skin scrape, and a bruised knuckle, which are not unusual. However I also flung the rubber tip off my sword twice, lost a button on my gambeson (which I recovered and can re-attach), and managed to knock over my drink at dinner while getting into a spirited discussion about what we had been doing. :)
Sir Brian:
Yes it was a blast and thanks again for accepting the invitation to come join us. I think you were a pleasant surprise especially for the two more advanced students there! ;)
I also thank you for the kind and encouraging compliment! Up until yesterday I only got to see your skill via video which doesn’t really catch everything. You are even better than I anticipated Sir Edward. To summarize your skill in one word I would say: Elegance to a degree that I’ve only seen with Larry! And about that glass of ice tea at the restaurant but it was obviously a clean hit since the glass didn’t even see that unterhau of yours coming! :D

Yep, I showed it a thing or two! Now it knows who's boss!! lol :)
Anyway, thanks for the kind words.
It was cool coming over there and being the "wild card" for the day. :)
Sir Wolf:
not fair (pouts)
Sir Edward:
I'm almost recovered from Sunday (4 days now). The bruise on my chest is still pretty visible, but my knuckle is mostly back to normal, and I only feel a hint of soreness in my arms. Heh. :)
