[Elfsea] Gas prices and local participation

[kristid2001 at yahoo.com]

Yup. Like Genevieve said, we carpool and budget. I am so incredibly poor that there is no way I could even attend our local events if I didn't! 
We can share tents, community cook and clean, farm out space among several cars, etc. to get everyone and all their stuff/gear to a big event, OR a small one. I know that it is difficult to carpool and caravan, and it requires a little planning, but it is worth it in the long run. 
I am certainly lucky to have such a caring, wonderful, sweet, kind and caring sister to haul my butt around! (shameless sucking-up 'cause warlord/aaa is coming up!!!)

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

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.
