My favorite story was about a SCA event at an Irish festival...they wished to announce the jousting event, but the lady refused to use the mike, saying it wasn't "period", but no one could hear her. Finally, the desperate sound man bowed and said, "Please speak into the magic stick, m'lady", and THEN she was perfectly happy to use the sound equipment. LOL
We play Civil War Reenactment Balls almost every weekend in the summer. There is always a few that complain about the caller not doing "period" dances, and same will come up to us and request "Ashoken Farewell"
LOL, isn't life grand? Enjoy it, and don't take any of it TOO seriously!
