[Ansteorra] RE: How times have changed

[Marc Carlson]

I really can't speak for the gas prices, since I've been morally offended 
ever since they passed a $1 a gallon.

However, I've been scanning in some old photos from old events since I 
joined, as well as some more recent ones, and I have to say that as much as 
people like me bitch and moan about the overall level of costuming and 
accuracy, it's way better now (over all) than it was back in 1988 (please 
note I am not being criitcal, in general people were doing the best they 
could, we have more available to us now)  For that matter, it was much 
better in 1988 than it was in the old pics from AS1 (some pics from the 
First Tournament can be found at 
http://history.westkingdom.org/Year1/FirstTournament.htm - I'd love to see 
the film they talk about.  Pics from the other first year tourneys can be 
found off of this page http://history.westkingdom.org/Year1/index.htm -- 
this is your history)

Things change.
