Days of Knights

I'm bringing two chairs that I bought (those folding medieval bench-style chairs), so whoever's (limit=1) hanging out at my tent with me will have a place to sit with me. But they're backless chairs, so you can't really lounge out on these things.
Thankfully this will be deep enough into MDRF season that I'll have some tolerance for standing around in armor. But man, sitting at every opportunity does help you get through the day.

Did you get the Smoke and Fire chairs? If so I'll contact them and see if they can ship me two in the next two weeks.
Sir Edward:
Yep, I went for their more heavy-duty model. It took them some time to get them to me, but they didn't have them in stock at the time. I think they had to wait until after Pennsic. I'd give them a shout and see if they have any on hand.

What a loaded question!! :D
I received 5 or 6 orders from a few places, and still have to sort half of it. I have a bunch of stuff I ordered from 7 or 8 different places that I'm still waiting for delivery on. I'm getting a bit antsy on it, with time winding down quickly and minimal time to "test and validate" like my analyst brain wants to do. I also want to get as much as I can before I see the credit card bill, realize what I've done, and end up the emergency room. ;)
I have a bunch of stuff to build that I'll be building this weekend when I get my truck back today. Lots. Of. Stuff. Didn't realize the amount of space I'd actually have in the tent until it was actually set up - I thought it might be cramped, but it's rather nice. And at least I have a squire for this weekend's projects (all DoK related). I've done all the furniture/gear by myself so far ... I'm bleeding paint and stains!
If I get it all done as planned, I should have period seating for ... 9 or 10? If we count chests as seating, another 3 or 4 extra.

I'll have a separate thread on it after the weekend, since I'm making a huge effort for the entire weekend at more prep/fab/planning.
--- Quote from: Ian on 2012-09-20, 18:13:00 ---I'm also noticing how expensive this is turning out to be and I'm trying to stop spending money on it, because to be quite honest, it's getting a bit ridiculous now.

I feel like I've almost single-handedly stimulated the economy the last 2 or 3 months by stockpiling for DoK. It's crazy, but who in their right mind wants to go around in armor all day anyway??
I'm going with the logic that it's all stuff I can use, that will be re-used at VARF and other events, and if I have children soon, better get my toys while I can still play.... :D
Sir Edward:
Wow, you've been even more industrious than I realized. I was joking about being the order's source of encampment furniture, but seriously, it sounds like we'll be hanging out around your tent the most. :)
Sir Wolf:
wow hehehehhe i wish i could go i really do. but i just don't think i can swing the costs this year. if it would have been a better business year than ya... heck had it been a better business year i would have bought a willys jeep in january hahahah
