Sounds amusing. I think there has been discussion here off and on of 
putting on an event to which attendees would be encouraged to wear 
clothing like people wore to the first couple years of SCA events and 
to serve food like what was cooked way back then. It's good for a 
laugh, to think about, for those of us who weren't there. But i doubt 
such an event will ever take place here, where it all started

There's so much that one could do on the theme of "The --- in 
Hollywood". For example there are those quite enjoyable Brother 
Caedfael TV mysteries in which nearly everyone appears to be wearing 
burlap. Not to mention the various dance sequences or sword fighting 
sequences... (and how every blade, no matter how thin, goes 
sha-CHING! as it comes out of a scabbard of any material)
