I still have the joust photos left to do, and general site photos, and then that's all of them.
Silvanus:
I am feeling very non-chivalrous amounts of insane jealousy over all of you. Each photo is sheer torture! Would that I had been there.
Just kidding. This event was the definition of awesomeness, and I intend to pour over each photo for ideas and inspiration. ;D
Sir William:
I hope it is or becomes a yearly affair...and I hope to attend the next one with you fellows.
Hey! Are you guys handling those antiques w/out gloves?!?

Hopefully they'll hold it again in the future. It was planned as a one-time event, and the coordinator (Nicky Hughes) is retiring within the next couple of months. He's hoping someone else will pick up the mantle, and he can just attend as a participant.
But yes, we're handling the antiques without gloves. The owner was very casual about it. He was genuinely surprised that anyone even WANTED to pick them up. He just left the key for the cases with us and let us go at it. Then, he showed us those cardboard boxes full of horseshoes, chapes, pommels, belt buckles, and so on, and just flipped through them to show us all the bits and pieces. It was quite amazing.
I think this photo of Sir Nathan sums up how we all felt:
And me too... :)
Sir James A:
That guy's camp was staggering. I peeked through the tent from outside, he said come in, and I asked if I could sit down .. not because I was in harness, but because the whole thing was truly staggering. That axe is "only" about 700 years old. There was a roman spatha in there that was from ~700AD - so, about 1,300 years old! We fondled it, I mean, handled it, without gloves too.
Those are great looks to describe it.
