Safe travels to everyone going!  Looking forward to seeing everyone, and meeting those of you I haven't had the pleasure of yet.

I hope I can fight. I screwed up my knee again this week. We'll see how I feel by the weekend.

Rest that knee, Commander.  No fun gadding about in armor when a critical part like that is hurting.

What a great event! I have lots of pictures, but it's going to take a day or two to get them all posted. They all need some brightness/contrast adjustments, cropping, etc.

I'm working on the pics of Wade Allen's period antiques first, since my phone was in reach at the computer this morning. :) This was a very cool presentation. 3.5 hours of handling period original spurs, gothic gauntlets, close helm, breastplates, spaulders, and more. I didn't have my camera with me, so I took pictures with my phone.

I must say, the articulation in the originals is just amazing. Some of those gauntlets flowed like water.

Yes, it was a blast! It was great to meet everyone in person, and many wonderful memories were made. :)

Though it occurred to me that I don't think we ever really got a group photo of all the Order members in one place, did we? I think the photos from the knighting were the closest things.

Yes, we had meant to get a group photo while we were all in harness, but then we often were getting in and out of harness depending on our individual schedules, and things just never quite lined up.

Knighting pics would probably be the closest, yep. I didn't armor up until later in the day for the timeline, since I had armor issues, and Ed/Nathan were armored up early for combat and getting out of armor right around when I was getting into it. I didn't even armor up at all on Sunday and took a day to just wander around and enjoy myself. It was a great time!

Loved the pictures I've seen posted on FB and glad the Marshal was so well represented!
Dare I say we had the most participation as a singular group? I am equally proud and envious of you all who attended! :)

I think the St. Maurice guys outnumbered us by quite a bit. But we were definitely one of the more well represented groups.

For those who haven't seen it on FB, here are my photo-albums from the event:

Yes, I think they had somewhere around 12 members. Frater de Tyr said they had 10 tents for their group!

I think a close comparison would be the Companions of the Seven Swords, I believe they had approximately 10 (counting kids), which I think is the same number we had (counting Martyn's wife and kids).

But I think we had the tallest flag there. :D
