Days of Knights
Sir James A:
From the FB page:
--- Quote ---I was just informed by the local tourism office that the weekend of Days of Knights coincides with Kentucky State University homecoming. This will have no effect on the event except that hotel and motel space will be difficult to find. If you need off-site lodging MAKE RESERVATIONS NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, I found out we can arrive thursday and set up, and stay overnight sunday, and leave on monday. I'll be doing that. And no hotel cost. Huzzah!
Sir Ulrich:
I managed to talk my dad into bringing me. He does want to sleep in a hotel though so we gotta rent a room or something. I would of liked to of camped out though but he doesnt want to. I also lack a tent and period bedding as well as mess kit.
Got to know what to buy and how to get it because I got 3 months to prepare for this. Kit wise I think i'm pretty much set with the exception of my gambeson not being a 13th century design and getting a surcoat and maille tailored and mittens. I dont have any period furniture or eating kit or bowls. I just lack maille chausses and off the rack ones wont fit my stick legs. Guess I aint as prepared as I thought.

Good to know. I at least want the room for Thursday and Sunday nights, so I'll reserve it straight through. I can always cancel. Now to see where I put that list that was emailed to me. :)
Also, if you're thinking of coming, that gives us more options for carpooling with Sir Nathan as well. Though I'm not sure what kind of space you'll have for packing up a vehicle, compared to mine.

If they are too slinky for your thin legs...bind them using 4 chords or laces at varying points on each of your legs til they are secure but not too tight. Tie at upper thigh, just above knee, just below knee, and just above ankle. And try a high-riding harness to your waist belt if those don't work. Also, improvise by adding leg padding as needed.

Let's chat about this offline; I've got some variables I don't know about yet, so, it's complicated, at best.
