Then you would have loved the play that was presented at Pennsic many 
years back...I think the playwright was one Goldwyn of Britain from the 
Eastrealm..."Mistress Laurel Seamchecker explains it all at You".  It 
was a scream...had a cast of characters created from caricatures of 
types we all know and love in the SCA.  And, of course, Mistress Laurel 
Seamchecker was your basic Authenticity Police type!
