Okay, I have to address the obvious and stupid question:

Why would a group of historical perfectionists choose a title like "Society of Creative Acronyms"?

no, I'm not joining the SCA. Closest I've done to that is learning how to use a sword. And to help out retread, The REn fest, or resesaince festival is just that. They have jousting, magic shows, comedy shows, smithing, glass blowing, jugglers, craft shops, and loads of food. The SCA is a group of people who go to this and many other type events and dress in period. This will be my first time to the one in texas. Been to the one here in louisiana twice. Hell, the one here starts on Nov. 4th so if I got nothin better to do I might go again. Oh, and gabe, don't mention this to lee. He ain't comin. We didn't want to tell him because whenever we go anywhere with him it's like being shaperoned by your dad. Dude's a big fuddie-duddie. Remember when we all went bowling and he just sat there and watched?

I tell you what, I won't tell him if you cobbers actually make plans to come over for that BattleTech weekend we talked about a few months back. Of course, nothing is saying we can't all meet up at the Festival in Hammond some time next month. OH, and since this is your first time, take a lot of pictures and have fun at the Mud Pit. That is a gret show and I think you'll enjoy it.

Well, an anachronism is anything that's out of place for the time period.  Medieval in a modern setting qualifies.

At least, that's how it was explained to me.

I'd be down with going to the one in hamond. It starts on the 4th of next month. Problem is it would have to be on a weekend I'm off and that's usually when we roleplay. Maybe I can get the whole group to go on a saturday

Ah, we are such creatures of roll-playing habit are we not? Just let me know. Oh and don't get too excited about the jousting in Houtson. It really is the worste display I've ever seen. The rest of the fest is fun, though. Say hi to the Centaur if he's there this year. He usually hangs out near the adventurer's area by the pirates.

man, had a great time. Took 3 rolls of film. I really need to invest in a camera like my friend, Kelly has. She has a card on it that can hold over 600 photos. So while I was changing film she was snapping away. Plus it also has a really cool zoom feature. My shots of the jousting look far out while hers look really good. The first day was walking around, playing a few games, shopping, and watching the jousting. We were all beat after that. We didn't even feel like going anywhere to get food. We just went down the street to the gas station to get some stuff. What was really cool was that there wa a bus that broguth us to the fair and back that night when it was over. Yesterday we went back and cought a few shows before the rain really started coming down. Stupid tropical depression. We saw Dead Bob, kind of a ventriliquist. Lots of audiance oarticipation and really funny. Then we walked over to the glass blowing demo. Talk about something cool to watch. After that we went and watched a group of 3 guys who put on a comedic version of romeo and juliet called romeo and juliet 2.0. Those guys were really good too. After that we grabbed some food and hit a couple more shops. The food there is excelent btw. We wound up leaving at around 3. I rode with Kelly so we got home a little after 9. The other 3 that were with us stopped in baton rouge to grab food so they got back about an hour or so later. I'll try and post some pics when I get them developed.
