I had to go read the TY after your post and I just had to laugh.
1) The party theme got people excited in a way I hadn't seen in awhile, which I consider a good thing. 2) I don't think Drachenwald SHOULD be competing with the uber-period groups. That's not what we're about. Maybe they should look at recruiting from the LARPs ::g:: 3) I love the fact that in the SCA, I can do Middle Eastern dance, or I can wear Viking, or I can cook a Roman feast. I love the flexibility and the fun of all of that.
UM...did the people writing on the TY realize who they were talking about? I'd love to know what these people would think of the Hawaiian Luau themed party that TRM's Bardolph and Brigh hosted in Midrealm Royal at Pennsic many years ago....cotehardies made out of Hawaiian shirt prints.
I'm all for doing my best to make things period and continual strive to improve what I'm doing, but every now and again you just have to let your hair down and be silly and have fun.
BTW I thought the pictures were great. It looked like y'all had fun. Wish we could have been there with you.
not a newbie question - Falco is actually a German National. he moved to An Dun Theine (Huntsville AL) for his job. "found the SCA" pissed off a BUNCH of people here in a very similar way - moved back to Germany was active in the SCA there, and has again (for his job) moved back to ADT.
He was WAY off base in what he said. Germans have a notoriously bad sense of humor. (he doesn't understand the party was just a big blow off steam night) and no matter how much you explain it to him, he really will not get it.

Why is a Meridian taking on responsibility for the survival of Drachenwald?

By quoting this, you will be making me eat my words, as this may take our little silly party 'world-wide.'
Tell me a little about yourself and why you wish to quote this. If you promise to use it for good, not evil, I'm okay with it.
