Notes on Early History
AElflaed of Duckford here.
Years ago, Mark Lasie of Westminster and I set up a notebook with a page for every month and started taking notes on Outlands history. It wasn't a very efficient way to go, but it was something.
That can be done better here, in public, with links to online documentation of various events and people, and with easy access to adding memories, details and comments.
Louis-Philippe has a wiki, and entries there can be linked here too, and maybe posts from the Outlands-History list. Some of that history, though, is not date-specific.

This blog can be a quick repository of people's memories and trivia concerning specific times and events.

May of 1982 is when I went to my first SCA event, Grand Outlandish. The guy who got me into the SCA invited me to come camp with him and some of his friends. His name is Dave Grubs or Sir Dafydd the Silvertongue. I was camping with this small group of friends to whom I had been introduced. They were Duke Koris Natterhelm and his Lady, Duchess Leah Kasmira, Duke Deaton Claymore and his Lady Duchess Care, Duke Siegfried von Hoflichkeit and Sir Dafyyd. Needless to say, hanging with these folks at my first SCA event gave me an interesting perspective.
The location was awesome with tents sprawled about the campsite and there were a great many people in attendance, probably close to four hundred.
The event was full of firsts for me. I got to see my first King (Ameyot(sp), a Coronation, (Einrich and Myrby(sp), my first knighting (Walker of Orange), watch a belly dancer rolling coins with her stomach muscles at the fire, and got to fight in my first melee.
Unfortunately for me, the guy next to me in the shield wall was a lefty and the first blow he threw hit me in the elbow and I was done for the day.
I was hooked from that event on.
