So am I...it is quite a distance but if we plan for it, it'll be smooth.

Crowds were thin for the final two days. On the upside, I debuted my early 15th Century Hand Gonner kit to rave reviews. Kit is in it's early stages and still needs some adjustment, but I felt it was far enough along to show it off and see what some people thought of it. I think I should have the key areas of work fixed for next season, namely appropriate footwear for the early 1400s and some more period tweaks to the gonne. I saw a few people in armor and some other really nice kits. Best one was the Border Reiver I met, I got a pic with him at the Trayned Band camp (it's up on my FB page). He had a wheel lock musket, a really nice one too. I also met some guys doing 16th Century Polish reenacting who invited me to come out in my 16th century kit and play with them sometime. I also found a very nice gentleman selling a maille hauberk, coif and mittens for $100 that a freind of mine is going to buy. It's butted 16 guage, SCA combat grade that he can't use anymore because he has a bad back. His loss is my freinds gain. All in all it was a good weekend, sad to see Faire over but now I'll have time to get to work on my off season projects.

Might make that one next year, hopefully.

Paladin, that would be awesome. It would be nice to see some more of the board members there.

Truly- I remember telling you when we met at the 08 MDRF that I wanted to check it out...we'd have to make an overnight trip due to distance but that's not a bad thing, just requires some pre-planning on my part so when next season arrives, lets set a date.

Sounds like a plan, I'll be in contact closer to the opening.
