Fight Practice July 22

Hello,
Weather permitting, fight practice will be held on July 22, from 2 till 6 PM, at the Washington Blvd site. Loaner armor will be available.
This will be our last chance to sharpen our skills before Pennsic, so I hope to see many of you there.

Youth Practice this Sunday

Hi Everyone!!!! Mistress Airanna will be the youth marshal this Sunday. Practice will start at 2pm at Washington Blvd. This is the last practice before war. We will then be taking a break and start practices back up on Aug 19th at 2pm at Washington Blvd. Sorry I will not be there this Sunday but I hope to see everyone at war!

Please remember if you need armor or weapons for war to contact me.

A and S — Upcoming Schedule

Greetings all!

Pennsic is looming, do you think you’ll have questions or need information? Just might need a contact, just in case? Contact me via text (as I will have no internetz when I am on site), and I am happy to help!

I urge all of you to take as many classes as you can. This a great way to learn, and it’s free!

Anyway, here’s what’s up with Barony A&S in the near future:

Jul 22 – No A&S : Personal Pre-Pennsic Panic Day!
Jul 29 – No A&S : Attend classes! Visit bardic circles! Do fun!
Aug 5 – No A&S : Save handouts! Take notes! Make stuff!
Aug 12 – No A&S : Post-Pennsic fall down go boom.

Aug 19 – Pennsic Tale Telling! Bring your handouts, stories, and notes, and share the fun of Pennsic with all of us; everyone is welcome even if you didn’t go to the war. Living vicariously is perfectly period!

I will post a reminder after Pennsic, this list is for your planning pleasure!

It's the Art-Signal! Quick, to the Science-Mobile!
Arts & Sciences Meeting

See you at the War!

Demo — August 30 — Save the Date!

Dear friends —

Save the date! I know everyone is super busy with Pennsic prep, but I wanted to let everyone know that we were invited to demo at the Children’s Museum Medieval Maker night on Thursday, August 30, from 6:30 to 9:30.

This is a 21 + event, so no clearances are required. They are looking for 20-25 demonstrators, and are looking for fiber artists (weavers, nalbinders, knitters, dyers, enbroiderers, and all the rest), calligraphers, illuminators, equestrians, fighters, fencers, siege engineers, musicians, singers, dancers, royalty – you name it!

i Genesii has been the first to step up, they will be running a play date and getting spectators involved! Who else will be there?

We had several makeshop demos with them, and they really like working with the SCA. They are very flexible and accommodating, so if you want to be a part of it, let me know!

More details to follow. It will be awesome!

Barony Meeting and Garb Swap – TODAY

Good morning, Barony!

Today is supposed to be hot and a bit humid, but not overwhelming. It’s exactly the kind of day that would be perfect for joining your friends at the Washington Blvd practice site for a Barony Meeting, Garb Swap, A&S Meeting, Instrumental Jam Session (bring your Crumhorn!), and Beginner Pennsic Class.

With so much going on, you’re pretty much guaranteed to find something that you’d enjoy!

Things get started at 1:00 p.m. and end around 3:00 p.m.

The Garb Swap will run by the usual rules — Newcomers first then everyone else. We are also being asked to bring an item to donate to Paladin’s Pantry or CareBox Pittsburgh.. This is not a sale, this is a giveaway.

The A&S Meeting is a bring-a-project session. Bring a project, a chair, and yourself. Spend some time with other artisans and enjoy the day. Water will be provided so you can refill your water bottles.

You are invited to bring your crumhorns, recorders, lutes, strings, etc. and join Master Remus in a medieval jam session.

Immediately following the Barony Meeting, there will be a class for new Pennsic-goers called “So, it’s your first Pennsic” being held by Lord Yoshi and Lord Ronin. This is a valuable class that will give you a better idea of what to expect and what kinds of things you can do at Pennsic. Even if you’re not able to attend this year and would like to get an idea of what Pennsic is like, this class would also be useful for you.

Please join us for the Meeting and all of the other activities planned for today. There is a Facebook Event for this here.

We can’t wait to see you there!!

A and S — Garb Swap — Sunday, July 15

No, A&S will not “be” the garb swap, but because it is such a fun and exciting and distracting time, there will be no formal class this Sunday. I will be there as usual, weaving or fingerlooping, so feel free to join me. I will have all the stuff needed to braid.

Location: Washington Blvd martial practice site
Address: Allegheny River Blvd and Washington Blvd
Directions: http://www.debatablelands.org/martial/fight_directions.php
Time: 1:00 PM.  Weather permitting!

Standard disclaimers here:

We are now accessible to our less mobile friends, have free parking, and a pet-friendly site. Yay!

However, keep in mind that you should bring everything you need for your comfort including a *chair*, a beverage or snack, bug spray, sunscreen, hat, cabana boy, rain boots, scuba suit, etc., etc., etc. Also, the site has a porta-john and no running water should you wish to make appropriate preparation.

I will have a table and a jug of water so that you can refill your water bottles or mugs.

If you need assistance or have questions, please call or text me at 724-759-3333.

Thank you for asking! These meetings are free and there is no materials charge, as we are generously supported by the Barony and the teachers themselves.

See you on Sunday!
