[Ansteorra] A thought about why people leave for feast...

[Dom]

Ido! It was my father's (Ld Jonn Elynn) orange and white parachute that was
used several times when they couldn't get the GP medium that was usually
use for the Red Bull Tavern. I was just talking to my father and he said
something about that one of the most memorable times that they used the
parachute was for an archery event that he and my mother(Ldy Ygraine of the
Alluring Smile) autocrated that got rained out and they called it the
"Boggy Woggles" event. :-) Lots of fun times back then!
I hope that you can come up for Wiesenfeuer Baronial this year Your Grace.
 As anyone who has been to my hafla will agree that my friends and I do a
great job with the atmosphere.  I have several bags that I take to events
now and some friends of mine started calling it Hafla in a Bag or Domi's
Taveling Hafla. I love it.  I hope that you are able to come and if not I
hope that we will see each other soon.

This is what I was talking about. Did any of you wondered who put up the
Parachute? I know I was part of the team that did it at least fifteen
times in my SCA career. I was part of the groups that thought it was nice
to create the pretty areas where there could be magic. For about 25 years
I had no troubles finding people who thought creating special areas was a
fun thing to do but for the last 8 years I have not been able to find
anyone who wants to work on these kinds of activities.
 My problem is my health. While I can do a lot I can stand on my feet
long enough to supervise everything and I can get to enough events to
'''sell" the ideas. Also a lot of the young organizers are working in
households. I think household events are great but I think we need
activities that are open to all.
