[Elfsea] Gas prices and local participation

[Sue Delk]

It's a hard time for everyone right now.  I literally live in the geographic
center of Texas, so it's a minimum of a 2 hour drive to any event/meeting
for the SCA.  Carpooling is the way to go to help share costs and such.  But
just like anything, if SCA is important to us (and obviously, it is) we will
budget to make events.  Attendence is going to be down, but when the economy
goes up and hopefully gas prices go down, we'll see a surge again.  'tis the
way of any economy.
    I look forward to seeing my friends at Warlord!

In service,
Genevieve del Gamba

> I know that many of us are heavily affected by prices skyrocketing.

large groups. And carpooled. And camped in community tents.
> A full sized eight passenger van can carry eight, and gear, for an amazing
event experience.
> True, we did without many of the luxuries seen today, but we had fun.
> As far as classes go, if we take the time to find out who is planning on
going, making a set park-n-ride location, we may even get more participation
at the outlying activities. For example, we had 4 Elfsea people at
Dragonsfire Tor for Stella's pigment class. Ameline rode with Stella, and
Irina used the Crandall Taxi Service.
