Because I'm a big dork

[drloretta]

I'm going to tell you about an event we'll be at, and for once the public is invited!

www.eastkingdom.org/EventDetails.html?eid=2395

MrL, ToddlerL, and I will be dressed in medieval attire as we watch MrL whack people with large sticks (and Toddler L whack tweens with her plastic sword)

[drloretta]

Most definitely!!! One of the main reasons I posted though was because most of these events are closed to the public

::wanders off to find recent pix to share::

ETA:

ToddlerL, in blue, taking out boys 5 years older than her



You can tell this was a while ago--I still had long hair



Fighting Daddy

Nope. SCAdian

After seeing her wield a sword at 18 months of age, I fear the boys in her teenage years a bit less.

Nice! I had to look it up, but that sounds fun!

Oh neat! One of my roommates in college was into SCA. I didn't know certain ones were open or closed to the public.

Almost all are closed. I've never been to one open to the public. DH goes to a huge event in PA every summer, and most of the people in town don't know there are 10K+ people doing this stuff at the nearby campground. For 2 weeks.
