Stargate's Summerthing

[SUZANNE_POWELL]

Glad Greetings to All! 
 
This message is a blatant advertisement and call for teachers at Stargate's 
Summerthing to be held on Saturday, August 9th at the St. Thomas Aquinas 
Catholic Church in Sugarland. 
 
First, let me introduce myself.  I am Lady Suzanne de la Ferte, the autocrat 
for this year's Summerthing.  I'm a newcomer to the SCA (I've been playing 
since this last September's Renaissance Festival) who enjoys calligraphy and 
illumination, dancing, making garb, and cooking. 
 
With that out of the way .... 
 
Here in Stargate (from what I understand), Summerthing is billed as *the* 
event to attend if you are not able to attend Pennsic. It's a learning kind of 
event with lots of classes.  This year's event will end with a selection from 
Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and a dance coordinated by HL 
Perronnelle and Master Avatar. 
 
Many wonderful people have already responded as willing to teach classes at 
this event, but I still have a few "slots" left to fill. 
 
I have 3 classes that will use the site's kitchen (Brewing, Medieval Dyes, and 
Meat Pies) and am looking for 2 or 3 more kitchen classes. 
 
I have 3 classes that will use the list field (Fighting from the Ground, 
Fighting Someone on the Ground, Melee Tactics, and How to Set up a Pavilion) 
and am looking for 2 more list field classes. 
 
Teachers have signed up for 5 SCA-information-type classes (Feast-o-Crat 101, 
Basic Heraldry, SCA 101, Basic/Advanced Armory for Rapier Fighting, and SCA 
Fighting 101/Basic Armory).  I'm looking for 1 more class of this type. 
 
I have 12 A&S type classes (Making Pots, Beginning Lucet Cord, Beginning Bard, 
Beginning Music, Beginning Recorder, Printing, Japanese Bobbin Braiding, 
Medieval Pigments, French Garb, Documenting Costuming, The Perception of Time 
Throughout History, and Courtly Behavior).  I'm looking for 2 more A&S classes. 
 
Since we'll be having classes on the list field, I'm looking for someone to 
coordinate/find chirurgeons and water bearers. 
 
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. 
 
So, for those of you not attending Pennsic this year, come on out and join us 
at Summerthing. I think we're going to have a great time! 
 
Striving to be in Service to the Dream, I remain 
 
	Lady Suzanne
