Aren't you in law enforcement Lord Dane?  ;)  ;D

Yes & most cops are not going to this event looking to bust knights drinking discriminately. What gets cops' attention is "stupid drunk antics" that get "complaints" or "potentially people hurt". So just be discreet & don't do anything stupid. They won't care or know the wiser. Minor infractions are overlooked typically if nothing serious.

I don't know if anyone else mentioned this, but: You knights who are going please make sure to take plenty of photos! Perhaps even a short video  ;)

I thought drinking was disallowed in any public park...hence the discretion necessary to do it on the sly.  Sir Nathan...if cops busted everyone for every tiny infraction, I'd say 80% of the population would have a criminal record.  If they do not already.  lol

It is why u do things discreetly but cops use discretion also in how they enforce infractions.

I'm sure you guys had a blast & it was a strong showing at DoK. :) Sorry I couldn't attend. Hope to see lots of good pics. And I haven't forgotten about our warhammer clash, Sir Nathan. :)

I can't wait to see the photos you gents took!  I know Ian was generating a bit of buzz on the AA as his photo was linked.

Sure did!

But you know what? Afterward, I realized we didn't do a buffet/colee. Doh!

Thanks for posting those pics, Sir Edward! I would have loved to attend the Latin Mass. Congratulations on acquiring your spurs, Sir Ian! Were you gentlemen able to engage in any combat at DoK?

It's a deal. I think. lol :)

We sure did! We had a demo on both Saturday and Sunday. Not a huge turnout, since the crowds didn't really pick up until closer to noon, and we had morning shows. But people seemed to enjoy it in any case. We had a bigger crowd on Saturday, but I think we fought better on Sunday.
