[Steppes] playing persona

[letebts at earthlink.net]

Here! Here! Plaudits for Honorable Lady Ekatarina Iadorovna Kharlampieva and
Lord Jacques the Spink for their goals.

Perhaps those of us who work late (on nights of meetings) might want to pack
garb for the evening into the car before leaving for work and change later?

May I tell a story on myself when I first started playing?
I was told the politest way to be in a garbed crowd (my first event was a
12th Night!) was to curtsey to anyone with any kind of "gold" on their head.
By the end of the event, I felt as though I was another "Tigger!" ;-)
