scribe,and a fighter...</DIV></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV><FONT size=2 face="Arial, sans-serif">
<DIV>A herald, a scribe, and a fighter walk into a symposium.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>No it is not a joke, but a coming event. On July 31, the Barony of
Wiesenfeuer will host the FREE 2010 Ansteorran Heraldic and Scribal Symposium in
Oklahoma City. (Because the event is FREE, no NMS fee is collected.
Bring a newcomer and a friend and introduce the SCA.) At this writing
there are 42 hours of class, practicum, and even structured game. (Plus
time for fighter practice.)</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face="Calibri, sans-serif"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>Please be aware that the event is not just for heralds and scribes.
Fighter practice, for both chivalric and rapier, will be held through the day
(as long as fighters want to fight). There are classes on the schedule
which are as relevant to non-heralds as to new heralds. Classes on period
naming practice, tracking your submissions, introduction to designing arms, list
heraldry, beginning charter painting, charter design, beginning calligraphy,
etc. Even classes on how to recognize which coronet goes with which rank
and how to address the person wearing it.</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face="Calibri, sans-serif"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>And there are more advanced classes for heralds and scribes. Advanced
scribal techniques, court ceremony design, etc.</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face="Calibri, sans-serif"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>If you wanted to attend but your spouse or significant other was not very
interested, tell them to pack their armor bag and they are coming with
you! Would you like to travel up but your spouse or significant other is
not really interested in heraldic or scribal or fighting? Oklahoma City
offers, for example, the Cowboy Hall of Fame, the Frontier City amusement park,
and White Water Bay for swimmers. And if you have not visited the Oklahoma
City Bombing National Memorial, then you have missed a very moving experience
and reminder. There could be plenty to do if they come with you.</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face="Calibri, sans-serif"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>Please visit the event web site, <A
href="http://herald.ansteorra.org/ahss/"><FONT
color=#0000ff><U>http://herald.ansteorra.org/ahss/</U></FONT></A>, to review
classes and site and event information. Class schedule will post this
evening.</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face="Calibri, sans-serif"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>There is no feast and no lunch. Site is adjacent to a restaurant and
hotel row and the event takes an hour and a half break for midday food. A
list of nearby hotels will be posted soon.</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face="Calibri, sans-serif"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>The event is a dress for medieval success event. Unless you are
fighting, we are indoors and air conditioned. Be aware that many of the
scribal classes involve hands on practice, so be careful of dripping paint on
your best clothes.</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face="Calibri, sans-serif"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>If you have questions, please contact the Event Steward at the email
address (<A href="mailto:st.amaranth@yahoo.com"><FONT
