A number of years ago, I had a person explaining to me why I should pay more 
attention to the SCA as my community since "they're the people who are most 
likely to go to your funeral when you die.", which put it into pretty 
succinct terms for me :)   Since I consider "Northkeep" to be a community, 
that's pretty much what I'd be focused on regarding THIS list :)

Although when it's at its best, Northkeep is effectively a small town, there 
ARE times when it just feels like a bedroom community.  But that's as much 
my fault as anything else -- since you generally get out of it what you are 
willing to put into it (with some notable exceptions).

Yes, but we love you anyway.
