You can say that again!  My parents play with hte Buckskinners and at their
gatherings you aren't allowed to camp in the main encampment if you don't have
a period tent (over there, out of sight, behind those trees, thanks you).  And
I've heard rumors of Civ War and WWII groups that'll flay you for the wrong
buttons on a uniform jacket.

Folks in the SCA have it too darned easy!
