I'm a Civil War Reenactor, as is "Irish Sgt", a regular contributor to Mudcat.

There are a few Mideviel / SCA types in here as well; stay tuned!

One or two 'rennies' as well... Renaissance Faire performers, as it were.

I'm with a group doing a loose (VERY loose) version of sailors. Not too historically accurate, but we have fun. One or two others from my group run loose through the 'cat on occasion as well.

There was quite a good thread on this here a while back which may be worth resurrecting.

Another very old thread about the SCA lead to these immortal lines in Mucat:

Question: Are there any SCAdians out there who are going down for Pennsic this year on the site?

first response: I´m Scandinavian, but where´s Pennsic?

I take part in our museum's once a month living history day, re-enacting a square-rig sailor in the year 1901. Specifically, I serve as chanteyman during a sail raise, and then take part in a recreation of a "dogwatch," when sailors had some time to relax aboard ship, telling tales, singing, playing music. The dogwatch re-enactment doubles as a kids program, where the public is invited to sing along. Mudcatters Melani and Winters Wages are also involved in the day's happenings.

Well, I've done Ren Faire as a German mercenary, and just finished a run of Dickens Faire as a clipper ship captain. I'm also starting to get involved with the living history days at Hyde St. Pier that Chanteyranger mentioned.

I wouldn't call what I do even remotely "re-enactment" - but I'm involved in ren-faire and also a Victorian Christmas "thing"

Didn't mean to leave you out, BillR. I didn't know you were a Mudcatter until I read that. So, welcome to the Mudcat!

The ones I'm currently involved in are, in reverse chronological order;
Rifleman, VII Virginia Regiment, Revolutionary War
Longhunter, Virginia, Kentucky frontier, 1750's - 1815
Ranger, Preston's Augusta County Rangers, French & Indian War
Laborer/militiaman at the Citie of Henricus, Colony of Virginia, 1611 - 1622
Powhatan Indian, 1607 -1622
And, of course, music from 17th through the 19th centuries

Take care

Wolfgang: Better yet, there was an SCA chapter (out west, I believe), that was investigated by the FBI. Apparently our government thought they were the "Society for Creative ANARCHISM". I'm told that, once the mistake was cleared up, the investigating agents actually became SCAdians themselves.

I'm one of the musicians for a Rennaissance dance group here in the DC area.
