So far it sounds great.

I would love to work on a project such as this.  Not
terribly good at writing, but I could help with
desktop publishing.

Saw the list of textile/fiber arts classes they are
having at Pennsic.  I can't attend that, but would
love to see similar topics covered down in this area.

Instead of a traveling display, maybe a pictorial
website where the display is virtual, and available
easily to all??  Just a thought.

Love this idea...not terribly formal...just fun.  A
lot of the events I go to have things for fighters,
but no A&S classes.  Let me know what I can do to
help.
