[Namron] Help Name Our Med fair Encampment

[Rob]

Works for me... but I think Wolfgang is talking about the map,  
mainly.  There are King's Road and Queen's Lane, the "Merfolk  
Grove" (?!) and such... helping to stimulate the imaginations of  
visitors...

So, perhaps for the site a big "SCA" sign is the perfect thing, simple  
and unambiguous for those "ten-second impressions"... but maybe the  
map, which is less ephemeral thing, could have something a little more  
fanciful?

The Consulate of Ansteorra (SCA)?  The Known World Outreach Center?   
Mission for the Liberation of the Mundane?

I certainly agree any signs and banners should be unambiguous and  
inclusive, but perhaps we should try to intrigue those who get a map  
in the southern loop and are looking for interesting places to visit?

Just my two bits (01)
