[Sca-cooks] SCA article in Chicago Tribune

[Samrah]

Greetings Lord Vincenzo Martino Mazza, 
 
All good points in your post, but in specific you mention a "Lord Alexander".  As I have never been to Pensic (several Outlandishes, countless Estrellas, all Great Westerns save one--hospital stay, but no Pensic), can you give me a bit more info on Lord Alexander?  Where was he from, approximate age, more complete name or household affiliation?  I have met a couple out here in CAID, and they are probably not the same guy, but one has travelled extensively.
 
The press release kit sounds wonderful.  Any further info you would like to pass along would be greatly appreciated.  (My love has just stepped up as seneschal for our local Shire.)
 
Thanks.  
 
Ever in Service to the Dream,
Samrah
 
PS.  It doesn't take 6 months out here to authorize for heavy weapons.  Open book test, 10 minute authorization process.  Inner fiber tape on weapons is also no longer required.  So there are definite differences between Kingdoms.

"weapons ... are covered with duct tape" -- FALSE; 
should have been, "weapons ... are wrapped in fiber tape 
and covered with duct tape" and mentioned safety

no mention of the training needed (IIRC, 6 months) to 
become authorized as heavy weapons or light weapons 
fighters

I don't know how many of you have attended Lord Alexander's 
Pennsic class on "Media Contacts with the SCA". 

One of the things he emphasizes is that we should _always_ 
have a 'press kit' (actually several copies) ready to give 
out at each event. That way we can provide members of the 
press with accurate information.
