Unfortunately, I just accepted a mundane commitment that is going to  
frequently overlap the start of Populace - so I will be late, most  
meetings.  However, I would love to teach - and to learn.  Plan on my  
classes starting at 7:45-8pm.

I could teach:
"Making your Encampment more Period on a Budget".  It's how to make a  
mundane camp look more medieval without investing in expensive re- 
enactment pieces - using stuff you already have at home or can pick  
up cheaply.

  "Building your Persona" - which is a class appropriate for a  
newcomer trying to pick a name, yet with questions that will help an  
old-timer stretch his or her persona to a new level.

I could also offer my 3-part, taboo-subject Enchanted Ground series:  
"Politics, Sex, and Religion".  It's a chance to try to talk "in  
persona" for a bit, about one of the taboo polite conversation  
topics.  For example: the gossip about the royal court (from your  
time-period, not the Ansteorran court, please), what you would look  
for in a good wife/husband (again, minds out of the gutter, please),  
or how you plan to celebrate All-Saint's Eve (see above warnings -  
there are children about).  We pick one subject per session, and  
simply hold a conversation.  It takes a bit of homework, which I  
could post or publish the month before - but I bring books so those  
who procrastinate can have a quick cram session & join in when they  
are ready.

I could also offer (with the help of my "students"?) a re-run of the  
best of each month's Sheep-to-Shawl classes.  Maybe Blue Sheep Soup,  
as a starter?

In Service to the Dream,
