Dear Not Too Eager,
Well, personally I like the idea. I think we would be hard pressed to
talk "the Barony" into it due to the price tag. The question is how
often would we use it at events ? It WOULD be much more "period" than a
pickup when we're moving things, but it's too easy to just drop that
tailgate... even at an event. (Oh my god/goddess, sacrilege !)
As far as B,W&G goes, if we don't find a wagon, no big deal. It would
be nice to have one to hang grape vines and "horns of plenty" on
though. I picture a hay ride type thing with attendees throwing beads
and the sort to the people they pass. I'm guessing entertainers would
volunteer to ride as they would have a captive audience.
I'm going to kick this out to the Barony to see what happens. Even if
the wagon doesn't materialize thanks anyway. I always like to hear new
ideas and it reminded me to ask for MARDI GRAS BEADS AND DOUBLOONS
DONATIONS. There are just never enough beads or doubloons, are there ?
Pax,
Marius
