I am HOPING to go to Eigl's this year.  But July 4th is my oldest son's
birthday (yes, really!!) so most of the time that has not worked out for
us.  We went as a day-tripper once, and got drenched and came home.  My
biggest hurdle is that my husband is NOT excited about the SCA like I am.
At this point, about the only reason he would agree to going to a camping
event is if there was some chance that I could make some money there
selling my DK books, and there has been some controversy about how well
recieved the books would be.  SO!!!  I am back to the point of not knowing
if I am going to be able to attend ANY events this summer.  If I can't take
books for whatever reason (not having a pavillion, not being well recieved,
etc.) then most likely our family would not be in attendance.
That is basically what it comes down to for me.  As of yet, he has NEVER
agreed to camp overnight at an event.  We've attended as day-trippers at a
few events, but never camped.
