well i sing like a frog in the beak of seagull ... but i do have some story telling experience ... the problem is i am planing on doing armoring demos for med fair . ...

one thing we did that had great response before at public demos ...  is one knight( or just another bard in armor ) .. takes a bard around in very loose (long chained)shackles so they can preform .. and the knight calls out form time to time that this bard has upset the king or stolen bread or so on ..... and now must entertain the crowds as his tax ....the bard preforms ..... then go on to say ... if you liked or hated the performance drop by the embassy.... to cast your vote for the fate of the bard (pardon or beheaded...they all get pardons). .. this also started a small bardic war to see who could get the most votes .... no prizes or anything .....but see who snagged the most pleas for freedom votes ... the following year we made a scrolls pardoning the bards..... gave copy to knight and bard ...as part of a demo court event at set times each day .... then the bard would steel some bread  or stick out tongue at king / baron and be told he has 24
 hours to pay off debt again...after a short chase the bard is taken away in shackles again ..... makes for some action in court and keeps the crowd cheering for knights or bards .... also makes it easier when you have partner in crime or bardic ... i can make some shackles for this but want them back when done .... scarey thing is they sell .... and will sell them off later ...not at med fair .....

Trust me, just wearing Garb and acting “like a character” will make you a target!  A performance of this nature is very magnetic and by the time you wrap up your 3-5 minute skit or performance, you’ll have a nice enthusiastic group.  Be sure to invite them to visit the SCA Embassy.  I will ask Cody Clark, Fair Cast Director, to give some tips on this at the Street Shtick Workshop on Saturday the 11th J
