POPULAR DEMAND - Baron Gavin's Tacky Garb Contest.<BR><BR>Everyone has had a
great deal of fun with this in the past and I encourage<BR>everyone who comes to
Gothic Wars to participate in or at least attend this<BR>unusually dressed
endeavor. Prizes will be awarded in four categories:<BR><BR>1) Best
all-done-on-site-at-the-War<BR>This does not mean that you come up with a cool
idea, bring all the stuff,<BR>and then put it together at the war.
This means you come up with the idea<BR>and find the stuff at the war. For
example: a pair of late period German<BR>pants worn backwards with a turban made
out of thongs that you borrowed<BR>from all the girls in your encampment, worn
with Nike sneakers, and your<BR>bull riding belt buckle.<BR><BR>2) Best
under-15<BR>Participants in this category must be under the age of 15.<BR><BR>3)
Most creative interpretation of "Tacky Garb"<BR>For example: making a tunic out
of duck tape - sticky side out. (Man would<BR>that be tacky.)<BR><BR>4) "It's so
bad even Gavin wouldn't wear that"<BR>For example: late period puff and slash in
gold and purple lame. (Thank you<BR>Kern.)<BR><BR>The rules for this competition
are --- all costumes must have a PG rating.<BR><BR>Contest will be held 30
minutes after Sunday evening court at the metal<BR>pavilion. Remember -
what makes this fun is that you are only limited by<BR>your own
imagination. Have fun, be creative, and come be silly at
Gothic.<BR><BR>See you at the War<BR>Baron Gavin<BR>Ultimate Judge of all things
Tacky.</FONT><BR><BR></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
