    Aye...was an amazin' time. Even though we had t' leave 'bout half way through th' day on Saturday everything else was more than we hoped. From the sunset cruise to the bar crawl to the festival the next day.

    It's hit our "Must Attend Event" list for sure! :D:D:D

    Oh and who knows Jerry...ya might 'ave been standin' right next t' me and Shaelyn and not e'en known it :wub:

    I prefer taking on judgements one at a time. Sure, I've heard the SCA called Society of Critical Analism and Society of Creative Anurism, but I still have some very good friends in and out of it. I never judge the thing as a whole. It's foolish to hate an entire organization for the faults of a few.

    Take one person at a time. One person at a time.

    Tis bein' very true there William. The best way to take any group is just as you said it.

    "One person at a time"

    Whatcha linsten' to?

    Some horrible country selection drifting in from the production floor.

    Ya know I've always wondered why warehouses and factories play THE worst music in the world...it's almost like old mental hospitals and their salmon pinks and mint greens...truely disturbing.

    Have you ever been to th' BOG..... Clane Pershan....kiinda in the wet spot...... bout Pensic 22 (there abouts )

    I am Atrig Bluehand,,,,, painted womens brreast (good job if you can get it) Dang.. Pansic famous............ :ph34r:

    Aye...I been in th' bog quite a few times...every night almost at war. Dun 'member that night, but then again my memories be fuzzy of Pennsic. It all bleeds together at a certain point :ph34r:

    So very true there on the pirates existing in the pre-1600 period. Given folks don't do the Golden Age stuff it's all good in the SCA's mind. They just think they're weird people or gypsies. Kinda funny...

    I was gonna mention the Adrian Empire as well, but I was tired...good group of folks they are. Lets not forget about Markland either...they have a good rep for doing things accurately for the majority of things. :ph34r:

    Well just one wee little thing on the whole SCA thing...the SCA was first started by a group of people who wanted to dress up and have fun. Now at the first gathering there were people dressed up as elves, faeries, hell even a few hobbits showed up.

    I think that a lot of people forget that the SCA is a joke amongst the world of reinactors. While there are several people who try to be as authentic as possible (and I give them much credit for that) they are outnumbered greatly by those who just "attempt at pre-1600 garb".

    Now I used to be an SCA member for many, many, many years. A few years ago I caught the pirate bug and it's been under me skin ever since. I still attend Pennsic War every year faithfully...almost fanatically these days...but for the past 19 years (this year being 20) it's become tradition and it's not so much an SCA event as a strange gathering of like minded people. Truely wonderous. So much to learn and see, but I'll stop there...I'm hoping to do more pirate events in the future as well as reinactments and Ren Faires. Call it a balance if ya will...having my cake and eating it too.

    But yea with what I said about the SCA I think the true origins are something that most forget or just want to forget and pretend it's somethign else entirely...
