But when I started calling around and they were all booked or charging outrageous rates because of the other event in town, I gave up on that idea.

That was a huge part of my motivation to get a tent, and start on the furniture building. I considered a hotel, then my wife may have gone when she could shower and charge her phone, wifi, etc. Or to hotel on Thursday arrival and Sunday night, and camp Fri/Sat. The cost of staying in a hotel for 4 nights was enough I thought, I'd rather put that money into a tent instead.

It truly was than anyone of any standing (not just nobles) would do their best to appear and be clean. We see liberal use of whatever they had, whether it be soap, water, or simply a stream. In fact the first thing one did was give themselves a type of sponge bath, and wash the hands and face. Clothes were cleaned often as well (if possible). It seems the major things they were missing was pest control and germ theory. Unfortunately, what a huge part they had to play in health. But still, the image of everyone stinking and reveling in the filth was an anachronism.
I'll be happy to chip in and help out in any way I can to keep ourselves and the camp healthy. Rubbing alcohol good?

Good idea. Where can I find these locally? It's not something I've looked for before. I'm assuming some of the grocery stores or CVS or something might have it?
SirNathanQ:
ooh, good find Sir Brian. Yeah, would they be at a rite-aid or something?
Sir Brian:
CVS, Rite Aid, Walmart, etc. - All should have them. ;)
Sir Edward:
Well, I'm hoping we can still do our combat demo out there. Nicky loved the idea when I initially brought it up. But it looks like I'm out of the loop with their new combat coordinator (so far he hasn't replied to me emails or included me in the mailing list). I don't see us on the schedule either, though they have some generic-sounding listings on there.
