While there weren’t a huge number of folks at practice today, it was better than last week.

At this point it looks like one of the faires that has been a regular job for us since 2002 is not going to happen this fall.
This is very sad as it is a fun faire
I personally am unhappy about this as it was going to fall on my 50th birthday and I was looking forward to sword fighting in front of a large audience on my 50th 1200 miles from home.
But, such is life.

So, without this show to plan, practice and prepare for, folks goofed around a bit more than normal.

adorabrightmoon spent a lot of time practicing for her flaming arrows. Apparently the target works best with

morgan_lafaye working as a counterweight. I don’t know why.

The problem is arrows fly in a very different manner where there is a big wad of Kevlar tied to the front of them.

So, this takes a lot of practice.

perrin_o_ravnos and

blue_micha tried to remember the rapier fight they used to do.

Our sword teacher said it was the best fight our group ever did and the kind of thing all of us should be doing.
But, it’s been 2 years and they couldn’t remember it. Somewhere we’ve got it written down and on video. We’ll have to bring that next week.

By the time all this was done, the fire arrows were ready.
