I just want to follow up what Faelan is saying by talking about a few things
with this demo...
We started out with a concept: Why do a demo at an event that "we" aren't
enthusiastic about attending? Let's do a demo at an event that "we" want to
attend. Afterall, how can "we" find people like "us" at an event that "we"
don't want to go to? After many conversations, we generally decided that
lots of us enjoy attending science fiction, fantasy, and gaming conventions.
So the first thing we wanted to do was find a convention that looked like
FUN, and find a group of people who wants to attend this convention. Lazy
Dragon Con looks to be a hoot.
So we have that group assembled, and we're going to do a demo and have a
party room. So far we have a group of over 20 individuals from at least 3
different Baronies in two regions who are going to attend, fight, meet
people, have fun, do the demo, run a party room, build relationships with
con goers, and generally have a good old time.
So what I'm saying is, don't think of this as a demo. Think of it as
attending a science fiction/fantasy/game convention with some of your
friends. We're just going to do some SCA demos in between the other fun
we're going to have! With over 20 people so far, nobody will have to man a
table for long hours of boredom. We're going to have numerous fighting
demos scattered over the course of the convention, and run a party room on
Saturday night.
If you had intended to attend Westgate Winter Collegium, I would strongly
encourage you to continue to do so. I'd never want our demo to draw people
away from a kingdom event. But if you weren't, come on out to Dallas and
let's have some fun!
If you are at all interested, please check out the links below, and email me
directly. I'm people-wrangling this convention and making sure we get our
pre-registration money in before the deadline (which is a little over a week
away.)
I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerly,
Sir Morgan Buchanan
