SCA @ UVa

Now that the little matter of the election is over, life, and medieval life goes on. With Eastern Standard Time reestablished, we now move the Isenfir/UVa practice to the lower level of the Scott Stadium parking garage. Better light, protection from some of the weather, easy parking. What that location does not have is good positioning for recruitment. People don't casually walk by and discover us there. So please, tell your friends, and be sure to come yourselves!

• Kelby from Prechain has become a regular, and is discovering the wonders of a fight practice where actual teaching happens.
• Philip and Aethelwolf are reliable and a great help with the new fighters.
• I'm there every week.
• Landi has put gear on a few times and is getting more regular!
• Aloisius recently told me he wants to emphasize armored combat over rapier.
• Cartallo has made some non-commital noises that suggest we might see him now and then.
• Danny, Andrew, and Sev are all close to authorizing, and Jordan is catching up fast for only having made a few practices.

So we're definitely getting there! Even with school or life keeping Charles, Eric and Timm from fighting, this practice is definitely reaching critical mass. Maybe soon, even Karhu will armor up. Rapier is going great too, but that's not my place to report on.

But Caleb just delivered Eleanor's new helmet. Come see it!

Aside from personnel, I'm sad that it seems my idea for a polearm isn't legal. If I do understand the rules now, a laminated weapon isn't going to be very attractive in performance or appearance. Maybe I can figure out one that is. And I still have Val's Chopper....

Come on out! The weather should be good this week. Sunday, there's some sort of sewing get together planned for at UVa. And then the Isenfir Games Tourney and Demo next week.
