A couple years ago he had it out after midnight for the big party on 
the Eric. Some of us complained and he turned it off. There was then 
acrimonious discussion on the West list. Those of us who thought that 
a very loud, gas motor was inappropriate at an SCA event, at least 
after 10 PM, were told: (a.) clearly we were not fun, and (b.) since 
the current King had requested it, no one could complain because "the 
king's word is law". On the other hand i have not heard it since then 
and i'm usually camped near the Eric.

Perhaps he only brings to to special events - i don't go to wars very 
often, and haven't been to Estrella in a couple years.

I don't mind a variety of blender drinks, but it's usually too darn 
cold at night here for me to want to drink one. Even if it's in the 
90s during the day, it's usually in the 40s, or low 50s at best, at 
night. Brrr. I want blender drinks when it's over 80.

On the other hand, i'm just not that into alcohol and only have a few 
sips if there are toasts to people at a Saturday night dinner.
