[Stargate] HMNS Demo - April 26

[John Hirling]

Greetings all

We have been invited to hold a demo at the Houston Museum of Natural Science
during the Di Vinci Exhibit.  The date is April 26th and the time is 11:00
am - 3:00 pm.

Leonardo lived from 1452 - 1519.  That places his adult life concomitant
with Tudor England, Valois France, the Ottoman Empire, the Holy Roman
Empire, The Republics, Duchies and Kingdom in Italy (Di Vinci spent most of
his life in Milan, Venice, Rome and Bolona) and the Spain of Ferdinand and
Isabella.

Painting, garb, fiber arts, calligraphy, illumination, dance, madrigal and
other music, rapier, and late armor immediately come to mind as appropriate
to the demo.  I've probably missed something important.  Lady Ciarnat of
Firethorn and I (and anyone who cares to join us) will meet with the museum
representative this Thursday at 10:00 am.  We should have more information
by then.

Alas, this demo is opposite Bordermarch's Baronial.  Her Excellency as their
Titled Artisan will be attending that event as, I am sure many others
reading this intend.  This is, however, a wonderful opportunity to reach
people who are very likely to have an interest in what we do.  To TE
Santiago and Elizabeth and our good friends in Bordermarch, I beg your
understanding of the opportunity this provides for us and the request I make
to the local populaces to support this demo.

Please let me know (jhirling at gmail dot com) if you can attend and if
there are times that are most convenient for you.

Yours,
Ihon Vinson macFergus, OL
Baron of Stargate
