<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I don't know for sure, but I suspect that the trip
to the leather store fell where it did </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>because of the Baron of Namron's visit -- if this
is when he has available to come to</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>town and offer the workshop, it makes sense that
the trip would have to be Saturday.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now, I agree with the spirt of your message -- one
of the reasons Carolina and I started</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>playing with Elfsea instead of the Steppes is the
feeling of community and support we</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>find from the people. But I think it's
possible that some conflicts are unavoidable.</FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Alright, I'll ask this question...</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Do we in Elfsea just have so much to do that there
is no day other than the day of Fool's Revel to do anything anymore? So
far on the day of Fool's Revel we have :</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Fool's Revel</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>A
Field Trip to a Leather shop</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>A Bardic Work
Weekend</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>and a Birthday party though that is
hardly in the same league as the rest of this.</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Fool's Revel is a local event folks, and scheduling
the calendar full of other things in the Barony (as I said, birthday not
included here) seems just a little bit excessive bordering on rude to the
autocrats and others who put lots of hard work into preparing for this
event.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Everyone wants the event they are in charge of to
be special and have the attention it deserves, and we do not accomplish that
by competing like this for the time and interest of the Barony. If we
supported each other and were aware of the local events then the sum of the
parts could be greater than any of them individually, but that's not what's
happening.</FONT></P>
