I made the trip up to the Barony of Rivenstar (around Lafayette, Indiana) over the weekend to participate in what was, to the best of my knowledge the first ever Midrealm Equestrian Symposium. Let me just say the trip was well worth the long haul up that including being stuck in traffic for two hours along the way with horses in tow. There was literally something for everyone, from the most senior marshals to the very new beginning riders. Many thanks to the folks that got this wonderful event organized, ran it, and/or hosted it!
Having recently completed a move that has been three years in the process, I now have all my stuff finally together in one place for the first time in a long time. As I am getting things organized I have found several things that I just now longer have a need for or otherwise justneed to part with it. I am beginning with a few things that I am going to list on the Armor Archive and go from there.
A couple of big equestrian happenings in the next few weeks here in the Midrealm and I wanted to make sure everyone got the information about those events that needed them. Also a few other notes down in there somewhere. I will be sharing this information elsewhere as well so that everyone knows.
Kind of amazing to consider that a pound was used as a measure of money in the early 15th century, similar to the same as it is today in the British Islands. More interesting is the value comparatively speaking of a 15th century pound to one of the last few years, specifically 1999. Let me back up a bit first though and then move forward.
First my apologies for not getting something of this nature out sooner to everyone. I thought I had indicated for a few of these go on the web, but perhaps not. Anyway, I owe out about ten, maybe more like fifteen emails and I will be getting on that as soon as I finish this list (getting my thoughts coherent in this list helps me proceed). It is a calendar in process by the way, so it has my notes about things included and is in no way official until published in official media as required by the SCA rules and regulations. And for those wondering about my hide away location since Gulf Wars (and to a large extent even leading up to that), well I am getting married this Saturday and have been busy. It takes some amount of time going back and forth to a 3rd world former Soviet Republic and importing a woman that will put up with me and all my craziness – oh, I am suppose to believe Kansas City is not part of the former Soviet block… Anyway, check the Midrealm Equestrian Page for more updates soon!
