If we have the Gathering at GenCon, which is looking increasingly unlikely (is *anybody* else going?) I'll kind of miss the dressing-up feature. OTOH, it might be fun to have a masquerade without the constraints of historical accuracy. Meanwhile, in the ongoing saga of sightings of my "couch": http://www.phoenyx.net/gamers/files/mycouch.jpg That's my son climbing up on the pedestal next to the stranger in the off-center couch (and sunburn... this was yesterday (Sunday)... Saturday had been pretty sunny, and there were a lot of sunburns showing). I sort of like my implementation of the couch better: http://www.silverseams.com/renfaire/images/bodice.png -- Karen J.

Ah... now I could get into that as well. We're kind of funny about
this... we don't like to wear "fantasy" costumes to faires that are
specifically historical. No matter that many of the other costume wearers
wouldn't know historical accuracy if it bit them.

We've never taken pictures of the actual couch... probably isn't there
anymore anyway.

Yeah, and I'll bet nobody wearing a fox tail knows what "un queue de renard" *means* (well, besides the literal translation). But I still don't think anyone's going to GenCon. Either that, or no one's reading this subtopic... well, no, I see 73 names on the recipient list, so that can't be it. Of course, it could be that everyone's filtering their mail into a Gamers folder that they never check anymore...

I've got a sales flyer with a picture in it, but it's such a dark picture if I hadn't known to look for it I wouldn't have recognized it. -- Karen J.

I'm unlikely to be going to Gencon, since I'm on the wrong side of the Atlantic. Wasn't there an idea floated to have a Phoenyx gathering on the right hand side of the Atlantic at one point -- Tim Hall, http://www.kalyr.com Read my blog! http://www.kalyr.com/weblog ---------------------------------------------------------------- GAMERS Home Page: http://www.phoenyx.net/gamers/
