[Steppes] SCA at SMU [Rapier]

[Jay Rudin]

I'm sure we can get something done, but it won't be this weekend.  This 
weekend is Queen's Champion, the ultimate fencing event, and that's where 
we'll be.

If they're willing to travel to Oklahoma to see it, it's a great chance to 
introduce them to rapier fighting and the SCA.  Otherwise,we'll see you 
when we get back.
