Then it moved up to Devor. By the lake and that was really nice too. could still tell that the modern world was close by but the sacrifice for the spot on the lake where it was cool was ok. That was a nice trade. Life was STILL filled with debauchery and wonderous letcfhery.

Then it moved to the other side of the lake and that was the start of a long road down hill. No shade, NC-17 behaivior was reined in and was even tried to be hearded like sheep into a small stage on the lake. And when that didn't work Fair folk started loosing their jobs and not being invited back to faire till somewhere along the way I figured out that the prodistants took over (not in actuallity but in methodology) and I pretty much stopped going to the big faire. The prices are high, the reason I liked to go is being hammered on and pushed out of faire. Its being made into another midevil times. If I had wanted to go to midevil times I would drive to Vegas. So that was pretty much that. I was JUST starting to really get into it when it fell apart and turned into a PG thing and lost its attraction. Now its a place for whiny baby's and children of all ages to come and gawk at the freak show and that's not what I wanted to go to fair for. I came in cosutme so that I could play and do Schtick with those that worked there. It's just not as much fun anymore.

Shortly after my first trip to faire I was introduced to this: The Society for Creative Anachronism

Ann Olsen (Olson?) (and I've lost contact with her years ago and would like to re-establsih contact with her). We were all under 18 at the time and fought with shop goggles and pink fome and duct tape coverd PVC weapons. There were only 2 suits of armor in what was a shire a the time but has now evolved into the Barony of Navahiem.

From there I joined the army and went to Germany to play there where I spent a lot of time doing a lot of SCA stuff. Dracenvalt was not a kingdome then I think it was still a principality then (88 to 90). Then I went to the Citidel of the Southern pass and realy got started on my persona and what I wanted to do in the SCA.

Mehangle Daffidd O'r Aran is my full SCA name. While I was in Outlands I fenced and got pretty good at it, as well as did hearaldry and archery.

The Adrian Empire
Northern CA. Renissance Faire
Crossroads Renaissance Festival Of Palm Springs
Rolling Thunder
Steel Thunder

I am conserned about thunder and what is happening to it. I used to be a thriving Midevil group and now its numbers and support (at least its 'pressence' on the web) seem to be dwindling.

UPDATE ON THUNDER!! I have found them (or more they found me) again and things are starting up and moving along. Soon as the web site is up I'll post it here.:)
