Greetings to my fellow artisans of Ansteorra

I have had several conversations with artisans both static and 
performers that they are unhappy because they are not getting enough 
feedback. I was a little frustrated because at official events I have 
so much to do, meetings, contest and etc. I don't have enough time to 
talk to friends and at non official event everyone won't come up to 
me. I have a favor to ask of you all. Will you help me catch people. I 
will free time up at events to talk to people about their art if you 
will bring the people to me. I have tried to run people down, but they 
just keep out of the 10 foot range and I never get them. If any of you 
know anyone who feels they haven't gotten proper feedback, even if it 
isn't my art form please bring them to me and I will try to get them 
with someone who can help them.

Many of you older people remember when interaction between 
peers/nobles and non-Peers/noble was more common. This was because the 
Lords and Ladies took the time to assist the newer and shyer people to 
interact. We spent more time teaching the courtesies so the people 
became comfortable with them and they were not a barrier. Of Course 
courtesies were more common in the everyday world in the 50's and 
60's. I remember when my mother wore a hat and gloves to go grocery 
shopping. For us older people the step from what we learned and what 
we did in the SCA was very small, but now there is a larger gap. We 
need to make the SCA user friendly and that means we need to get 
people to interact with people that can help them self actualize. 

Thank you
Mistress Willow de Wisp
