Sir Edward:
The Western Martial Arts Workshop
http://wmaw.us/2011/
Well, this event is next week, so I get one more renfaire weekend before I go. I'll try to remember to take a bunch of pictures again. I usually do. It's hard to get good shots in the classes, but I usually get a few. The site is gorgeous, and the weather has been good the last few times I've gone.
The event draws in practitioners and instructors from all over the world.
This year they're having an "Armoured Deed of Arms" event on Friday. I'm asking about it now. The schedule has it, but I couldn't find any other info on the website. I've been guessing it's invitation-only, but I got the registrar to send me the PDF about it, and it implies it's open to all challengers (subject to safety inspection and assessment of character). I'm bringing my harness anyway, since I'm taking an armored combat class (which is immediately before it on the schedule). But now it looks like I'm bringing my banner too, since apparently that's required in the rules for this Pas d'armes.
Here are my photos from my previous trips:

Sir William:
Where IS that place? It is, in a word, beautiful.
Sir Edward:
I think it's some sort of former monastery or something. It's right on the bank of one of the great lakes, up in Racine, WI (about an hour north of Chicago).
Sir Brian:
*sigh* one of these days I'll make one of the Western Martial Arts Workshops. :'(
Sir William:
Same here...if for no other reason than to visit such a gorgeous locale. Milady and I have decided to try and visit one new place every year, just a short getaway.
