Medieval Pavilions
Sir Edward:
Oh, if you want help spending your money, you've come to the right place! :)
While I can't really argue with the "family first" mentality, here are some ideas.
Have you looked to see if you can get a used one? I'm not sure where to look exactly, other than maybe craigslist, but maybe some of our SCA friends here might know. Or maybe you can borrow one and try it out?
Also, we bought ours with the same worries. Kat and I weren't anywhere near engaged (let alone married), and we went in 50/50 on this purchase together, not knowing if we were even going to actually go to Pennsic. But you know what? We've used it quite a bit for other things, such as a sun-shade for the 4th of July parties, and as a cast-tent at VARF.
We're very satisfied with our Panther, and consider it a good purchase.
Ian:
I think there was some misunderstanding here. It's not like if I bought the tent I wouldn't be able to afford moving or feeding my unborn child. I know family comes first always. I just meant it would be a harder sell to the better half is all. Sir Edward, my wife was looking over my shoulder at your comment and suddenly had a future vision of medieval themed birthday parties for the baby featuring a pretty sweet tent as its centerpiece. Now we're talking!!
Sir William:
You've got the right idea, Ian...it worked out well for Sir Edward and if your wife is as into it as his is, then I think it'd be a good investment. Who says it should only be used for medieval-themed events? I'd use it for regular camping, outdoor parties and the like as well. Wish I could get one but the wife don't do camping and I generally don't stay anywhere overnight w/out her so it isn't something on my horizon.

You've got an Albion and an amazingly nice harness. The tent may come in handy for other things, too. As you mentioned, medieval themed birthday party(s). One thing I plan to do with mine is have my brother and my squire over for an outdoor medieval-themed camping weekend, initiation into adulthood sort of thing. They both turned 18 this year, so we'll camp out, swing swords, play medieval games, and I'll try to impart some wisdom unto them about work, women, relationships, life, and anything else that comes up.
If all your financial needs are met, and the tent is "extra" money, and you can't think of something else you'd rather have ... I say go for it. It may be one of those things where you don't realize what you might use it for, since you've never had one?
Sir Wolf:
what ...? no one has said it yet?
ok.. here goes....
