Days of Knights
Sir William:
This is not an annual event?
Lord Dane:
May not be time authentic but I am not going without a shower. My health & cleansiness is a paranoia of mine & even the Romans had bathhouses & they considered themselves a civil society too. Too many germs & disgusting people who don't share in the importance of good hygiene. I'd have a shower rig for public use at the event.
Sir Edward:

Not currently, no. They're waiting to see how this one does, I think. So far they've said you shouldn't assume there will be a second event.
Ian:
We're considering bringing a camp shower. The whole 'tough it out thing' was very off-putting for me. I think we as modern follk like to pretend that people in the middle ages were dirty all the time, but that's simply not true. They took care of their own personal hygeine and had plenty of soap available etc... obviously no running water, but we don't give people of Medieval Europe enough credit for being clean.
I'm not too worried about keeping myself clean, the biggest concern was what was out of my control, that being the other participants. The non-chalant attitude by some of them just stuck out as an indicator that they're probably not as interested in staying clean as we are. Clorox wipes and lots of hand sanitizer are great ides. I hope they locate us all together so we can pool our resources on some of this stuff. We're bringing a few cases of drinking water and snacks, and are more than willing to chip in on daily runs for stuff at the local store.
Good call on the weather too Sir Ed, we've got our 40 degree sleeping bags ready to go.
Sir James A:
Ian, last I heard, myself, our "community squire" Chris, Sir Nathan, and Sir Edward will all be next to each other on Agincourt lane with Master Hughes and Dr Metz.
