[Ansteorra] Bards, brewers and cooks

[Rose & Chad]

I could see an artsci event, but I don't see why the fighters should put it on. It does seem to be more popular than our arts and sciences, but that's not really thier fault... Also, I've never really had anyone from the artsci side try to recruit me for an activity that they do, but fighters invite people quite frequently. On the plus side, I would attend and very much enjoy an artsci/bardic event and if the artsci/bardic community wanted to put one on, it could be a wonderful start to showing people what artsci is really about, and getting others interested in it. :)

but more to the point, let us NOT turn this into a "10 reasons fighters 
are bad", or "10 reasons to hate fighting" talk.

Fighting has many good points, and it is one of the best recruiting 
aspects of the SCA IHMO. I myself was a fighter before fatherhood and 
heath conspired to take my free time away from me.

However, fighting has a powerful and dominant presence in the SCA, and 
I, for one, would like to not have to compete with that at a Bardic 
centered event.
Thats all.
