Ring Tribe Event
This weekend, Sarah and I accepted the invitation of an early period group to their Ostara function. Ostara is the germanic festival of the rebirth of spring. It was a nice weekend, and it was neat to hang out with these folks away from fighting. The entire weekend reminded me of what I loved about reenactment groups, especially with the family ( Read more... ) -
Kentucky Weather
Y'know sometimes Kentucky weather is odd. In the last two months we've had (in order) a tornado, an ice storm, a snow storm (2 feet of snow), and most recently flooding. This is more or less the goofiest weather I've ever dealt with ( Read more... ) -
SCA Fighter Practice
So last night was the weekly fighter practice, and it went well for the most part. I got crushed in the head one good time or so, and even 18 hours later, I'm still a little foggy from it ( Read more... ) -
Fighter Practice
So, this is supposed to be, first and foremost a combat journal relaying the trials and tribulations of a neophyte to the SCA. But recently I haven't been doing a very good job of keeping up. However, at practice on Tuesday night, I think I once again showed improvement. However, I am also realizing that I need to build up the strength and ( Read more... ) -

Candlemas - 16 February 2008
So I went to my first SCA event as a active participant this last weekend, going to the pool tourney called Candlemas which was hosted by the Shire of Dragonsmarch in Lexington, Kentucky. I got worried on the way there that I wouldn't make it in time to authorize, as Sarah and I hit a traffic issue forty miles from site, where we were parked for ( Read more... ) -
SCA Fighter Practice and other stuff
So Tornadiac Tuesdays are getting old. Two fighter practices in a row have been followed by high winds, including this time, winds of approximately 95 miles per hour ripping through the town that I work in. My office was lucky, and though we lost a day of productivity due to power being out, and who knows how much work we are going to lose in the ( Read more... ) -

Fighter Practice - 22 January 2008
So... I took a nasty shot to the head last night, one that scrambled my eggs pretty good, and ended my night of fighting. Other than that nasty wrap shot, which was the hardest shot I've taken to date in playing with these guys, it was a fun night at practice. Baron Erick allowed me to borrow his kit for the first half of the practice, and I ( Read more... )
