I get a "Spirit Discount": Free admittance for any non-corporeal being, provided I agree to behave and not posses any of the serving maidens.

lol! Being non-corporeal has a lot of advantages of course. Just be careful of men with unlicensed nuclear accelerators on their backs. ;)

Ha! Nice! ;D No need to tell me about the Twinkie.

Are photos allowed at this event? I see it says no intrusive electronics (i.e. cell phones) but nothing specifically about cameras. If so, I demand at least one photo of the whole group...if possible and not too much trouble. :)

AWESOME! This will be epic!

Fair warning! I would like this to be an annual event with us! So if you can't make it this time then it would be best to mark it down for next year!! :)

Tickets bought.

I think cameras are OK, they just don't want it intruding on the show segments. Last time we were there, the jester offered to grab the camera and take our picture. :)

That's good to know; my wife loves to snap.  I like the idea of a yearly thing too, Sir Brian.  It isn't often we get to do something like this.

This is going to knock the chauses off of them! 16 men-at-arms/knights/squires! This is trully an event I am excited for and look forward to attending. Sadly I'm going to get the thought in my mind "arn't you a little short to be a knight?" Lol. Btw, how are we all going to fit in there? All at a table, push 2 tables together, sit at seperate tables? Oh and if you are worried about the photo taking during the show, take it afterwards.

I just want to point this out again, so no one forgets--  The space in there is REALLY cramped. Take that into consideration in terms of what you want to wear/bring.

Personally, I'll do mail armor, not plate.

I might not even wear a gambeson. Just a bit thick if we're going to be crowded.

Also, sir Brian there is there enough seating for the 2 people me and my brother are bringing?(our guardians)

This is going be so terrible(terrible as in awesome)

I might forego the armor altogether, in that case.

I just called and they're not answering - so will call and purchase tomorrow.

This will indeed be a grand time :)  I'm also thinking about forgoing the chain and just wearing the appropriate accouterments, but will defer to the group. 

If armed for war we must be, then it will be so!

Yep, soft-kit or light-armor will be most comfortable for everyone, I think.

If I get my hauberk done, I'll wear it with my Templar gear. Otherwise, I'll be going in soft kit / assassin garb.

I'm still undecided and will wait for the weather forecast. If it is colder I will wear armor for the benefit of the gambeson and if warmer then I'll go in my soft kit.  :-\

I don't exactly have a "soft kit" unless i can get by wearing the medieval pants, boots and short sleeve black gambeson. Otherwise, I am sticking with the half sleeve maille shirt.
