This was the Crown Tournament to find the heirs for King Johann and Queen Malinda von hohen-Staffen.
The feast mentioned was a BBQ from Colorado Springs that was finger licking good!
There was a bluegrass festival going on at the same time in the enormous park, and sounds of it could be heard gently carried on the breeze.
One of the oddest things was that there was a huge UFO sighting on Friday evening, just at dusk. It was even mentioned in the local newspaper. We all thought it would have been so funny if alien's first contact with planet earth was a bluegrass concert and the SCA!
I still thank Nick de Kane for autocrating such a great event with such memorable and unusual entertainment.
Duchess Malinda van hohen Kester aka von hohen Staffen
For a moment I pictured BBQ and bluegrass, and pictured us getting their dinner, and the banjo players wondering "what the heck?" about a fancy Laurel-masterpiece feast.
That's the event when Sigmund Traeskaeg was made a Master of Arms. He died just a few years later. His mundane name is Marty, and our #2 son is named after him. And Sigmund played bluegrass, but not that weekend.
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.
Cut and paste the bad copy, edit it the way you want it, and post that. Go back and delete the one you don't want. A moderator will come by and delete the "this post was deleted" note.
