A.  Fencing Indoors is perfectly period.  It was done frequently. I would 
also point out that boots are for horsemen.  Everyone else in period wore 
cute little slippers.

B.  If the events hall isn't period enough for you, what makes you think 110 
degree weather has a particularly European ambiance? I mean, I've *been* in 
France and England in the middle of July and through August and it's really 
*cool* there, weather-wise.

C.  Congratulations on being a true student to your Don.  I know Alden, and 
love him dearly, but I must admit--he often speaks . . . adamantly.  
Sometimes people have taken offense to Alden's words.  I would hate to see 
you pre-judged, but **** happens, so perhaps it would be wiser to lose the 
sarcasm.

Not at all, dear.  It's been a learning experience, not a waste at all.
