<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif">This is exactly the "dishonor" that I was talking about. It doesn't take much to get over ones self and be courteous and polite. It may not be your first choice of doing things and I don't care. Frankly I don't care who you are, but it is NEVER okay to interrupt someone while they are performing. Get someone to go in after to pick things up, but understand that it is NEVER okay to interrupt someone while they are performing. Okay...I'll say it again to make sure that everyone understands. <U>It is NEVER, NEVER, NEVER okay to interrupt someone while they are performing.</U> </DIV>

<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif">Now we all understand that is NEVER okay to interrupt someone while they are performing, I'll explain my red-headed step-child remark. I first started playing in the SCA nearly 10 years ago. From what I saw (and granted my memory may be foggy because I was young), things were great. We had the bardic college and I felt good to go do my thing. Then life pulled me away from the SCA for a few years and when I came back everything was different. There was no bardic college, competitions were held almost as a afterthought at events, and there is almost no open bardic on Saturday nights anymore. I'm sorry, but if that doesn't put me in my place, I don't know what does.</DIV>
