Contact Ben Mitchels or Bill Frisbee.  I'm sure they'll be able to get in touch with Jessica.

[Sir James A]

I got squared away. Thanks.

[Sir Edward]

Yeah, I was going to say, feel free to name-drop me all you want.

I ordered an Albion Liechtenauer, and they're pretty sure they can get it to me in time. Otherwise they're satisfied with my gear (or at least, didn't have any complaints at DoK).

[Sir Nate]

Congratulations on getting Accepted
Wait, isn't there a guy that swings so hard he bends the swords? (or is that another Longsword/harnesfechten event?)

That was Shortpoint last year. In unarmored combat.

So if someone made a slight mistake..... Ouch....

[Sir Brian]

The pool lists are up!

Lucky you Sir Edward! You get to face Axel in the first round pools! 

[Sir Edward]

Yep, I'm gonna die.

LOL, at least I get my wish of fighting a few times, and washing out, so I can go do other things. I'm more focused on the Passage anyway.

Man, this has been a crazy-busy week. I haven't even been on the forum since probably the middle of last week. Last week we did a ton of yard/house work to prepare for my wife's family arriving, and of course they picked the same week that we have Longpoint. So I've been dong family things all week, just in time to run to Longpoint for a couple of days. Whew.

I may plan to do nothing but sleep next week.

Here is a link to the recorded live stream of the finals. Sir Edward and I are in some awesome seats one row back from ringside!

Quick and dirty hack of a web page, but here are video recordings of the armored combat from Friday:

Huge congratulations to Sirs Brian, Ed and James in their participation in this year's longpoint!  Well fought to each and every one of you.  The armored combat looked awesome, and I understand you guys kicked ass in longsword as well!  Huzzah!!!

[Sir Rodney]

All I can say is … Wow!  Nice job gentleman.   

[Lord Dane]

Saw the recordings. Outstanding job!! Must be great to take part in that event. Good memories & well-fought, gentlemen.

Thanks. Unfortunately I couldn't bring home a medal for the Order; I lost 3rd by 1 point with only a couple seconds left. But I had an absolute blast!

[Sir Edward]

Chiming in a little late (out of town plus catching up at work, etc). It was a blast! We were absolutely dead tired during the fights. The air conditioning doesn't help as much as you expect it to, and those 2-minute fights are brutally long. It feels like an eternity.

What I find amusing about the videos is how "nonchalant" we appear to be. In the armor, it felt quite violent and tiring. But from the outside, it's like we just calmly walk up and stick the weapon into the other guy. Heh.
