As one of those "haulers of stuff", sometimes as I am packing and
unpacking I'm thinking that I need to quit taking soo much stuff...then
after camp is set up I know why I do it. We oldtimers need the ambiamce
as much as the newcomers.
I agree with Jutta: I remember when it was like that in the SCA no
matter where you played. We need to make a pact to do more visiting and
mingling. Or maybe I mean pack...yeah, yeah, you know like a pack of
roaming Amazons...I remember those days too.
Just my two cents,
