The SCA was mentioned in a report that was on ABC Nightline on Wednesday, 
November 24, 1999.  The Report was on the events surrounding the change of 
the millennium in 999-1000 or Y1K.  We were mentioned in a very positive 
way and had about 2 minutes total of film shown from the Pennsic war.  The 
trust of the piece was discussing whether or not the people in 999 knew 
about the change in the millennium and what the social effects were on the 
lives.
