Rav4 Jousting
Too funny. Better than the brawny guys. Remember that? If not: My Renaissance Man.
I tell you, though, that Brawny Man. Hmmm.

Face Lost Long Ago

In The Air Tonight
A video montage of SCA photos and brief movies mostly related to Pennsic, sent across Northshield List by Master Fiskr.
It’s a decent video, and a decent re-do of Phil the Terrible’s In the Air Tonight (in fact, it’s better than the original), but what really strikes me are the shots [...]

All things, part 2

Saturday, January 20th, 2007

Note to self: Original entry broke into subjects because it was so long.
Adventures in Medieval Revivalism. Or Something.

Joe and Micheal on New Year’s Eve; the photo doesn’t do justice to the fabulous fifties clothing and environment.
I’ve been prepping my New Year’s list for a few days now, not really resolutions, but reminders. By the time I click over from Draft to Publish, it will re-date it to whatever day it is that [...]

An SCA Meme to Start the New Year

Friday, January 5th, 2007

And, because I love everyone who is syndicating this journal, even if I have no clue who you are and no idea that you’re reading, I will do you a favor an use the awful Wordpress cut tag to save you from the very long meme. The Wordpress tag is not nearly as sophisticated as [...]
