Oh ho! We totally read the original Egils Saga in my college Old Norse class! Well, OK, excerpts of it. It's so very very long.

Have fun!

Awesome Nic! Can I call you 'Nic'? heh!

I didn't know you do SCA stuff! Awesome!

Are you going to Pennsic this year? I am!
Maybe I'll see you there! - Hopefully I'll be able to see you there!
Are you going to AC?

1. Cook - YAY I love cooking!!!
2. Camera - Yay! I have an old 35mm camera, I'm looking to buy a new digital camera before AC.
3. Take LOT of pictures! No film to develop in digital cameras YAY!
4. I need an out-rageous hat! :p
5. Always! especially when juggling! hehe!

"Nic" is fine.

I got into the SCA about three years ago (via my sisters-in-law). Most of my interest is in heraldry, currently. We don't tend to travel to a lot of events so, no, we won't be at Pennsic.

Juggling... Gotta remember to bring my beanbags and clubs in case I have time to practice!

Awww... I guess I'll never get to meet you irl - oh well. Maybe I'll get out to FC next year... maybe?

SCA always has downtime - I'm sure you'll find or make time for a little ball and stick action - LOL! Have fun!

I don't even know what it is o.o

But have fun :)

The SCA is a medieval recreation group. Less of the commercial-renfaire-sell-to-tourists atmosphere and more into research and personal experiences. So this event includes camping, classes, and a swordfighting tournament. (The society's "royalty" are determined through combat tournaments.) Everyone makes an attempt to dress appropriately (pre-1600). Some people even use only tents and camping supplies that are pre-1600. (Me, I'm not that obsessive about it. I'm more into it for the study and curiosity.)

Here's some random photos of the Egils event that I found on Flickr:

Viscount Sir Ambrose and I used to beat on each other regularly. I did an engine swap on his pick up truck back in the day.

Very interesting :)

That is my old SCA stomping grounds. I am a former Champion of the Egil's Ithrotir contest. You will have a wonderful time at that event! Say hello to Grainne Gello of Locksley if you see her for me. She will be head of Marshels.

Have fun!

Ah, excellent! I do remember that we talked a bit about SCA. (And with your impressive build, I could certainly see how you'd do well as a fighter!)

What is your society name, lest I be sending greetings from "Dusty"?

Ld. Rhun Rolfson....At your service.

I AM bringing a camera, charged up and with large memory card!

Said it before, I'll say it again: dang, that's a nice coat of arms!

Thanks. :) I'm quite pleased with how it turned out, too.
