Willow, could you please elaborate? And particularly on when you found
them to be a cultural experience?
I had heard stories about bards entertaining the crowds lined up for a
shower, but by the time I went to my first Pennsic, Pennsic 21, a lot
of camps seem to have gone to having their own showers and when there
has been a line at the event showers it has been only a handful of
people. Of course, this didn't mean the water was warm. Maybe I've
been going to the wrong showers? Usually the main one by the store,
when I was camping in Ansteorra, or at the bottom of Runestone Hill
when I've been camping down by the lake. For those wondering, swimming
in Cooper's Lake is not recommended.
I remember being impressed at Pennsic 21, just how many camps had full-
size household water heaters in their camps, when riding around on the
hay wagon, since replaced by various buses.
