Have fun everyone that will be attending!

My lady and I will be somewhere tropical! :)

If I bring some blow-up palm trees and some sand, do you think we could convince your lady to go to DoK? :D

Still not received any registration confirmation - should I be concerned or contact Mr. Hughes?

There are no automatic confirmations generated by form submission on his site, so no you won't get one.  If you're worried about it you can contact Nicky, he'll be happy to verify I'm sure.

Days of Knights III is only three months away.  It will really be here before you know it!  Now is the time to start solidifying plans if you intend to be there.  I don't know who's planning on going and how you plan on camping etc, but now is certainly the time to start getting smart on all the logistics and planning.

For those that will be new to DoK and you want to camp in the timeline, the typical layout is in chronological order.  If I recall correctly from DoK 1 and 2 the major chronological groupings were Vikings/Saxons, Normans, Crusaders, Hundred Years War era, Wars of the Roses era, and Landsknecht era.  That is not to say you're impression needs to fit in to one of those cultures or specific groups, it's just a convenient way to break up the timeline.

Modern camping stuff is allowed as long as it's completely out of the public view during public hours.  The last time DoK was held in Frankfort there was a designated area for modern tents if you want to go that way.  There are also plenty of local accommodations available in Frankfort near the site if you don't want to camp at all.

I'd like to field any questions newcomers have about the event that they want to get cleared up before you're out of time, so please ask.  DoK is a great event for newcomers to Living History who may have dabbled in other things medieval that want to try the historical approach to impressions.  It's not super strict like some groups, but obviously you will be expected to show up with a certain level of historical knowledge and your kit should be within DoK standards (http://daysofknightsfrankfort.com/html/standards.html).  Many people just do soft-kit impressions (another excellent way to get started in LH without the financial commitment of a hard-kit).  Again, please, if anyone has questions and wants to go, ask away before it's too late!

So far, my plan is to do a repeat of DoK I. If we want to load up a truck and a rental trailer again, that did work very well last time.

Heh, I guess I should get my butt in gear and register. I've been putting it off since I didn't have a photo of a completed kit to submit on the registration form. I just finished my belt today, so I have all the stuff I need now, I think.

I probably won't be able to make the Thursday activities, but what's a good time to plan on arriving on-site Friday?

Friday is open for school activities, so it's a show day.  If you don't have stuff to set up you can probably walk on at any time in kit.  If you do have stuff to set up you'll want to get there either very early, or after it closes.  Tentative scheduling has it opening at 10AM on Friday morning and closing by 3PM Friday afternoon.

Unles my day jobs gets in the way of things, I'll be there with my fair lady.

Slightly off topic. I took Sir Humphrey up on his offer and have been reading his blog.   I read a number of stories that are nicely done. Nice picture of Sir Ian and Sir Humphrey as well.  You should have a look if you have not already done so.

Nicky posted the list of people currently pre-registered.  It's available in the Facebook group.  The top menu has a 'Files' section, you can find it there.  If you're  not on the list and you should be you have until September 10th the pre-register.
