[Hellsgate] Geekfest Demo

[myfanwy at pug.net]

Please also verify with the new SCA rules because I believe they have become stricter on things such as "Whack a Knight"

We will most likely not be able to be in attendance.  Although we will have returned from Pennsic, it will be one of the few weekends for several months where we can do stuff around the house.  (For example, unpack and do laundry from Pennsic)

Things have changed as far as legalities and what happens if there is a accident. I think it's a good idea to give them a chance if they want.  We used to do that at our demos in Drachenwald, and it worked pretty well, but people had common sense then. If somebody had gotten seriously bruised or hurt they would have walked away saying "well it was my idea", not so much now days. It could be gray area unless they sign waivers.
