So the 15th looks pretty solid for everyone with a mind of attending. Will this be at Sir James' house again and what time do we want to start?

I'm free from about 9am til 8pm, so any time is fine with me. My 'squire' from VARF expressed substantial interest in attending too. I hope that's okay?

Sure! btw, does anyone have any extra leather straps I might get from them on Sunday? I'm thinking of changing the strapping on my old shield to something more period. :)

I'll bring the leather bag. They're not in straps, but a sharp pair of scissors can easily change that  :)

Straps similar in size to what is on my newer shield from MT. :)

I have some leather but it's a bit on the thin side, and doesn't resemble straps yet. :)

Well I'll bring my old shield and see what we can come up with. I might take a quick ride over to Tandy leather on Saturday to pick some straps up as well. :)

Brian, I still have the pauldron harness you gave me...we could cut that up into strapping for your shield.  Let me know if you'd like me to bring it with me on Sunday.

Oh yeah that! If you don't have a need for it then it should work fine for the arm straps. I can always get another strap for the guige. Thanks! :)

No problem; I'll pull it out of the chest tonight so I remember to bring it on Sunday.  I'll probably get there around 3pm.

Uh oh, Looks like the weather is going to be against us this Sunday with thunderstorms and 2-3 hours worth of rain in the forecast.  :-\

Maybe they don't know what they're talking about. Fingers crossed. :)

Perhaps a good idea to bring Carcassonne and Wabbit Wampage as "wet weather" alternatives? Or shop projects? Or a movie? I have these at the house (http://james-anderson-iii.com/medieval-items/pages/movies) - but can't find my Beowulf DVD. The rest I know I have, and I need to add "Ninja Assassin" to the list.

Has everyone seen the Warlord with Charleton Heston? Oh and I'll bring Wabbit Wampage as well. :)

I'll bring Carcassone. It's a very good game.

Yep, I've seen Warlord, but it's been a while.

If the weather's going to be crappy, I'll not be able to come.  If that becomes the case though, Sir Brian, I'll ship you the straps so you can have them asap, ok?

Lets just hope it is the usual spray and pray that the local weathermen seem just barely capable of...honestly, a 50% success rate for forecasting?  I can flip a coin and do just as well...which is probably what they do.  How come they never saw that derecho coming?

Not that I did either...but I always hated meteorology.  Imagine my surprise when I attended the first class and found out it was about the weather.   >:(  And the Prof lecturing was so dry...so dull...lol
