[Sca-cooks] Pennsic Question

[Kirsten Houseknecht]

i havent noticed it being that fringe elementy.....
i mean you get some, sure.. but  the majority of folks on site were medieval
or renn dressed........

first week you do get a bit more .uh. slacker garb, you know.. just arrived
at camp and threw on the T tunic stuff, but not even that much.
ok, ok, you DO get the hordes of fantasy belly dancers, but it tends to go
up in proportion to the thermometer....
