[Bryn-gwlad] "He is... inconvenient."

Tue Feb 26 10:52:46 PST 2008

I'm in (and Håkon too, of course), assuming I can get off work.  If I can't get time off, Håkon would still like to come if he can get a ride.  We live in NE Round Rock, about 2 miles east of the Classic car dealership.

Almost the entire BG rapier community, plus others, were crammed into his living room like sardines.  He turned off the lights, started the film, and the opening credits with the sword fight had us enthralled.  At the end of the sword fight, Eldric stopped the VCR and asked, "Is there anyone in this room who does NOT want to see that again?"  We laughed, cheered, and got the encore.

A few months ago, I gave the "He is... inconvenient" line to one of the younger rapier fighters.  That person had no clue of what I was speaking and took me literally.  That's when I realized we have a whole generation of fighters that have never seen these splendid movies.  They've been deprived and I want to right this injustice.

I propose a party/revel to watch the _Three Musketeers_ and _Four Musketeers_, both of which I own on DVD.  Star (Honorable Lady Sorcha ni Fhaolain) has graciously agreed to let me host it at her house as she owns a gigantic viewing screen (in excess of 60 inches, I believe).

Is there interest?  Even if only a handful are interested, the party will be on.  These movies are so much more fun to watch with others and it has been too long since I've seen them, too.  Unless there is an outstanding objection, or someone has a better idea, I'll hold it starting around 3 p.m. Saturday afternoon, March 22, when there are no events in Kingdom.

had me clubbed to the ground, laid violent hands on the woman I love! 
He is... inconvenient."
