[Elfsea] TONIGHT, Monday, June 15: How the SCA Works: Student / Teacher Relationships

[Jay Rudin]

You're invited to Robin and Serena's house at 7:00 p.m on Monday, June 15th 
for this month's discussion in our "How the SCA Works" series:

SCA STUDENT / TEACHER RELATIONSHIPS

We will discuss the squires, apprentices, proteges and other unofficial 
training positions in the SCA.  How it works, what it is (and isn't), how 
you become one, what it means, what are the similarities and differences, 
etc.

Since we certainly don't know it all, we're also inviting others to make it 
a panel discussion, because each type of relationship is different and each 
relationship is different.  Please come by and add your comments, 
experiences and questions.

ABOUT THE SERIES "How the SCA Works":

The SCA is a co-operative game.  It works because we all work together and 
play together.

This leads to an obvious question - how does it work, and what can you do 
to become a bigger part of it?

Every month, Robin and Serena will take one aspect of the SCA and discuss 
how it's supposed to work, how it really does work, and how you can be part 
of it.  Topics will include the social structure, the award system, the 
officers, how events work, and other topics to be chosen based on the 
suggestions of the attendees.

But it's not about our one way.  The crucial thing to understand is that 
nobody understands the entire SCA, and there are lots of good ways to work 
and play within it.  To misquote Michael Straczinski, our job isn't to give 
definitive answers.  Our job is to ask questions and open discussions and 
start bar fights.

Come join the argume ... err, the discussion.

Please note that the online mapping gizmos are not totally accurate -- they 
ALL come up with a house halfway down the block from us.  Once you are on 
Vinland Street, go by the numbers posted on the houses, not the online 
"street view".  Look for the house in the middle of the block with a rose 
garden including a small statue of St. Francis.

Please be careful when crossing the construction zone around our 
neighborhood -- the road is torn up, and if you're not careful, your car 
will be, too.
