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
