[Elfsea] first SCA exposure

[Shaw, Donnel]

I first hear about the SCA threw a friend of mine. His girlfriend was in and
he invited me to go with them to a meeting in "Dallas". Back then that was a
long way to drive from Plano to Dallas. I met someone and was hooked (that
is another story).  I made my first dress and went to my first event in
Biorjonesburg(sp) with a friend from college. At this event we met house
Fallow Moon (Ragnar, Athena, Moonbear, Arial) The fighting was great but
what got me was the Barding and the Riddle off run by Jan. It was great.
They were also doing a cattle raid. In the morning they (Vikings) decided to
go raid Barroness Alex of her cattle. So Ragnar and Moonbear in the lead
singing stormed the Tent. When she refused to give up her cattle they took
the tent down around her. It was great. I have been hooked ever since. That
was back in 81. I still have pictures if anyone wants to see.

My first exposure was after the Demo at Three Bridges six years ago. The SCA
had it's usual demo but I didn't see it. What I did see was the write up in
the UTA newspaper.  My ex-boyfriend had been in the SCA a very short time,
and I had been to renfaires and enjoyed them. I thought I'd try the SCA.  In
the newpaper article was the seneschal's name and phone number--the now
Baronness Allesandra.  She invited me to join her at a populace meeting and
must have talked with me for over an hour.  She also invited me to a garb
workshop at Xene's house, where I made my first T-tunic.  There  I was
introduced to Xene, with whom I spent most of the evening talking.  We had
much in common, from music (I played the cello in the college orchestra) to
reading to embroidery.  Towards the end of the night, she asked me if I
would like to be her lady-in-waiting....that's when I found out she was to
be the new Baronness!  I agreed and went to Elfsea Defender...and the rest
is history.

In service,
Lady Genevieve del Gamba
