No. No. No..... Kein--- Tower.... RHIAN --- chili.

Got it?

Seriously. I'm going to try to put together a tower in the center of 
our camp for the express purpose of flying a banner higher than anyone 
else. If anyone is a skilled painter, your services would be greatly 
appreciated on the first Saturday and Sunday of the war. Does anyone 
have 30 feet of scaffolding laying around collecting dust? 

Also, Rhian has graciously agreed to pick up a tradition that I 
started, but have grown tired of. (I've done it for 7 years.) She said 
that she would spearhead the Ansteorran chili, and I'm sure she can use 
some help.

Listen. If you're reading this and you're waffling or can't decide 
whether or not to go to Pennsic, let me try to persuade you. If you are 
a fighter, I don't need to tell you about the battles with 1000 
soldiers per side or the days and days of tournaments and pickups.
If you are not a fighter, did you know that you can go to Pennsic for 
10 days, stay busy, have fun, and never notice the fighting?
It's true. More merchants than anywhere else. Classes all day and into 
the night. Archery. Dancing. Enchanted Ground. Courts. Parties. Bardic 
Circles. 9500 SCA'ers within 3 square miles (wear comfortable shoes.) 
Did I miss anything? 
 
Did I mention that the high temperature in Pittsburgh, PA today was 78 
degrees? 58 was the low. (No guarantees on this. Last year it was 
almost as hot as home.) 

Still not convinced? ... One more try.... NO FIRE ANTS!


Come on out. It'll be fun.
