YES YES YES, this is what I lamely was trying to say in my post about 
the SCA is what you make of it.  I went through the same stage (if 
you read my post closely, you'll find that line).  Every event I do 
make it to, there is "someone" who is not happy with things the way 
they are.  If they stick around a little longer, they usually find 
their niche and get happier or at least learn to deal with what they 
were unhappy about before.  Did I make myself clear? 
I gripe too, when things aren't going my way, but I try to confine it 
to "my" circle of friends (read close acquaintenances who realise I'm 
just having a bad day).  If newcomers are around or people I don't 
know very well, I "try" not to gripe.
But the best way to make it "better" is to pitch in and do it.  Talk 
up the good things, do the good things, help with the good things and 
it WILL BE BETTER FOR ALL OF US.  LIVE THE DREAM, don't just gripe 
'cause somebody didn't do what you thought was right.
In Service to the Dream the best way I know how,
