OK so i'm a member of the East kingdom on the edge of Atlantia, I am located in a shire that is "sparse" to say the least, to say nothing of the cliques that are present to which i obviously don't belong or wish to be. Due to my location it's difficult to attend events like i used to because of distance. a usual event daytrip is a 2+ hour drive. would it be wrong of me to start attending Atlantian events if they are closer?
Another issue I am faced with is in the East my household and (RL) parents are widely known. i was raised in the SCA. It is difficult to do anything to make a name for myself without someone mentioned either of the the two.

thoughts, suggestions?

I know that most SCA members know that the Medieval times weren't as nice as they are cranked up to be, but I doubt few realize how boring it was!

Subject: Trebuchet! (Texts: 5 )

Today I saw a great program about trebuchet building. They built two full size trebuchets that threw 100 kilo boulders into a wall some 200 meters away.

Very cool stuff, even though the broke the general rule that trebuchets should be BIGGER (always)... <img:stuff/castle.png>

Subject: Me and doing competitions (Texts: 2 )

I've been working on getting this competition Running on Elfpack:
www.elfpack.com/_Drink%20Making%20Contest

What about something similar for Thunder's Keep, but with a Medieval theme of course?

If anyone has stuff you want to compete with by showing off, then tell, and we can arrange something! It's hard to make a contest before we know what interests people. Best dress, best home-made armour, best medieval furniture, best poem written in Old English...

Subject: Period Music (Texts: 25 )

I have recently taken a great interest in Period Music. That is to say, while I have always loved and enjoyed it, I have of late been quite compelled to seek it out.

Perhaps my most major pet peeve at SCA events is the often complete lack of Medieval and Renaissance music. I hear lots of fun songs About the SCA, and far too many lovely songs from the 19th (or later) century. 

But Very Very Little Actual Medieval Music.

Early Music is So Great! We should have more of it!

So, I want to learn. 

I have cds of period music. I have access to period dance music.

But, I want to Play it! And Sing it! 

I want to learn to play instruments, and sing songs that fit my persona (late 14th, early 15th Century Italian). 

Any ideas? Thoughts? Willing Teachers?
