It turns out we're doing birthday stuff for me on Saturday. I keep forgetting about this one since I've never actually made it to one of the VAF tournaments. :) If it weren't so late in the day, I could probably do both.

I wouldn't be participating, but might be able to go as a spectator, if they allow that?

I think that's OK. They have seating up at the front of the facility.

Well, my birthday thing isn't starting til 7, but it's an hour away from there. Maybe if I just make a point of leaving at 6, I could still go? Let me think on this.

They've got more than a couple seats- I'd say at least 20, at the front.  I might be able to slide through as a spectator.

OK, I talked to Bill tonight, and it looks like I should be able to go. He said he'd be surprised if it went beyond 2 hours, so I think I can squeeze it in.

I also asked about spectators, and he said that plenty of seating will be available all over the place. They're setting up two rings, but will have seating near both.

Excellent, thank you. I showed up at Longpoint to watch and there was no spectating, so I wanted to make sure I don't have the same thing happen since VAF is ~ 1 1/2 hours each way for me. :)

Huh...thinking I should go too, since it'd be an opportunity to see my knight brothers whom I have not set eyes on since before the year passed!

Yep, I'm all signed up. I expect to get destroyed by some of the MD folks. :)

I plan to show up in full harness, walk into the combat ring, and just shout out "okay, who wants some of this!?" 8)

Err, maybe not. But I do hope to show up. Putting it on my calendar before I forget.

Well I don't know about that but I will try and give you a good fight! ;)

Btw will visiting fencers have access to a locker room, i.e. shower facilities?

There are no lockers that I'm aware of, but there is a changing area attached to the bathroom with a shower. Folks will have to take turns on the shower.
