Midsummer Night's Dream, watch the members of the Society for Creative 
Anachronism's fashion show and sword fights, and listen to talks on 
Shakespeare.*

Members of the Barony of the Phoenix, as the local SCA chapter is 
called, were impressed by how quickly Ben Scheiner put together an 
effective suit of armor and helmet. Soon, he was a part-time armorer, 
and within a year, Scheiner was able to quit his machinist job and make 
armor full-time.
