Aw, why not? We have been talking about our SCA-Cook's get-together
at Pennsic. It would have to be a hot tub feast, though. I start turning
various shades of blue in the Pennsic Swimming Hole if I stay in for
the length of a reasonable feast. Brrr. I feel I already know some of
you fairly well, even if I've never met you in person. This would just
a bit more revealing. :-) I'm sure it would become a part of all those
Pennsic stories that get told over and over.

But alas, I'm afraid finding all those nifty wooden hot tubs would be
rather difficult....
