From myfanwy at nauticom.net Mon Sep 1 23:32:08 2008 From: myfanwy at nauticom.net (myfanwy at nauticom.net) Date: Mon, 1 Sep 2008 23:32:08 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [SCA-BMDL] CMU activities fair? Message-ID: <50713.209.195.147.252.1220326328.squirrel@webmail.nauticom.net> Greetings from Myfanwy! I haven't really heard anything more about the CMU activities fair on Wednesday. I'm still willing to show up if it's actually happening, but AFAIK I'm the only one (and I'm *not* a Cour d'Or person, nor am I on the Cour d'Or mailing list). I will try to make it down there with the spinning wheel, if it sounds like it's actually happening and there will be people there to get the table and such. Wednesday is really hectic for me, and I will be on the go much of the day -- if the demo is actually happening I will make sure I have stuff with me in the car the whole day (I've got a meeting Downtown with an attorney in the morning, and then have to duck out of there in time to get to physical therapy in the North Hills by 12:45). The demo is in two days, so I really need to know something by tomorrow night at the latest.

Hi everyone, I am Sir Dmitriy, just moved here from the West to attend grad school at CMU. I officially reserved a table for SCA at the activity fair (technically it's for student groups only, so only current students can register). The catch is that I have lectures until 5, so I can't be there to check in -- someone else will need to do that between 3:30 and 4:45. I haven't heard yet if anyone has volunteered to do this, or who's organizing the demo, etc. There will be limited room there, just a table (which we might have to share). So no fighting/fencing/dancing. If someone is in charge of putting things like that together, let me know how I can help. I've sent the detailed instructions from the university regarding checking in, etc, to Her Excellency Ariella, let me know if they need to go out to a wider list. -Dmitriy On Mon, Sep 1, 2008 at 11:32 PM, wrote: > Greetings from Myfanwy! > I haven't really heard anything more about the CMU activities fair on > Wednesday.

Huff" -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey Spencer, I've come across a couple of things which I thought SCA club might be interested in but wanted to run them by you to see if you agreed. The first is a project I am working on with the Posner Center where I am recording people reading 16 of Shakespeare's Sonnets. The reason I think SCA might be interested is that my project has opportunities for historical performance with relatively little commitment (about 3 hours and non memorization). The second is a project I am almost certain SCA would be interested in, and that is the Madrigal Dinner on December 6. I spoke with Anne Witchner (the organizer) today and she was very interested in SCA doing some demonstrations, whether of sword play, courtly manners or whatnot. It's also a fun end to the school year and a great event. What do you think?

The CMU activities fair, though we recognize it's great importance, has not traditionally been something us working folk can attend. I'm cc'ing myself and Byron about this since he is off at 3pm today (we just found this out yesterday - he's working the early shift), but he's already at work with no garb etc. If you can contribute any time (such as walk over and pull up the local website or SCA website on your laptop assuming CMU campus has wireless), it would be wonderful. If there's a limited check-in that you miss and Byron can't do it, then that's okay.

Please check-in early (as early as 3:30 pm) for the Activities Fair at the Student Activities table, which will be marked with balloons. Your organization will receive instruction and the table assignment at the check-in table. If your organization has not checked in by 4:45p.m., your table may be forfeited and given to an organization on the waiting list. I would like to remind you that you will not have access to electrical outlets and you may not bring a generator. If you choose to bring a battery-operated stereo, we ask that the volume not interfere with the conversations happening at neighboring tables. Please review the Activities Fair website at http://www.cmu.edu/studentactivities/ActivitiesFair/ to review expectations and tips on how to have a successful Activities Fair. If you noted a request to be near another organization, we will do our best to match groups' requests. If you are willing to split a table, please inform me as soon as possible. Our office would like to include as many or our recognized groups as possible. Please note that there can be no changes to table arrangements past Friday, August 29, 2008. Thank you for your participation and I wish you a successful start to the spring semester. If your organization has any questions, please feel free to contact me.

From my prior college recruting experience, that nets about 4-5 people who show up to a meeting, 2-3 who show up to more than one, and 1 or maybe 2 who actually stick around for a while (*raises hand...*). A few of the folks we talked to went to events or had friends who did back in their hometown and/or undergrad school, so those have a slightly better retention rate. -Dmitriy On Thu, Sep 4, 2008 at 1:12 PM, L.J.

Guild heads and officers please bring an > example of what you do and be prepared to talk briefly. Please can we do this differently this year? We have a lot of officers and guilds. I think we've been overwhelming, or boring, most of the new people who show up at our September meetings. Our recruitment hasn't been very good; let's ask ourselves why that might be. No college student (our primary target at this meeting) is interested in heraldic commenting meetings, children's activities, and getting (or writing people in for) awards. None will be interested *at the first meeting* in becoming chirurgeons, running lists, writing articles for the newsletter, and so on. (Yes, we have newcomers to the barony who are not new to the SCA; they already know how to navigate.) I urge the officers and guild heads collectively to focus on the things that matter to SCA newcomers *now*; we have all year to fill in the rest if we don't chase them away on Wednesday. I think we should focus on the things newcomers can do *right now* -- fighting, dance, guild meetings at which beginner-level teaching will happen *this month*, etc. The more participatory, the better. Nothing is more boring than an hour of "hi, I'm the [office], I do [thing you can't do yet or don't care about], it's really great because [pitch], come talk to me after the meeting". Besides, the less time we spend lecturing, the more time we have to actually meet and talk individually with the folks who are checking us out. That's got to be more productive than anything any of us could say to the whole group, right?

Some are already taken care of (e.g. we do not have a Chancellor Minor to talk about kids' activities) but it is a good idea not to clutter the announcements with calls for anyone interested in being the Barony MOL, for example. Helewys, do you have some flyers (and electronic advertising) that can be used this coming week to publicize the meeting? We had talked about that last year and getting more newcomers there would be important.

I didn't mean to imply that no one should make announcements; this is a business meeting too. But there's a big difference between "the MOL is calling for a successor" and "I'm going to spend the next 3-5 minutes telling you what an MOL does". And, just to be clear, I picked MOL out of a hat; I'm not talking about any individual officer here. If we can pick just a few offices/guilds to focus on, the ones that will be most of interest to newcomers, and get through the routine business as efficiently as possible, I think we'll all win.

I agree with She'erah's suggestion. In the past, a slide show of baronial activities was sometimes shown after the business part of the meeting. Would it be possible to arrange for a laptop and maybe have someone run through Darter's web page of Pennsic photos for 10 minutes or so? My schedule will not permit me to create something to bring this month. I would be happy to put something together for October if desired. Could flyers and maybe a ride coordinator for Archers to the Wald, scheduled for Sept. 27, be handed out? I will bring or send some costuming books and invite people to look at them after meeting. If established costumers are willing to attend, we can have a weekend sewing circle on campus, maybe Sunday September 28th or Saturday October 4 - whichever the attending newcomers would prefer.

Last year, you could watch the newcomers' eyes glaze over and see them start to fidget 20 minutes in. Each newcomer is probably interested in one, maybe two activities to start. Yet, the way the meeting was run, we bored them with information they aren't interested in. Since we're in Porter 100, maybe we could list the active guilds and practices on the board along with contact info and other relevant info. Something like: Fencing Practice - Sundays, Washington Blvd. Rides and loaner equipment available Call Charles at # etc. And then say something at during that meeting like "The contacts or their representatives will be in front of the hall after the meeting for newcomers to talk to." That way newcomers can focus in what they are interested in now without being subjected to 40 minutes of information that doesn't matter to them. And as Ts'vee'a pointed out there is an event in three weeks, we should focus on that as upcoming activity that people would be interested. It's something active and fun. We're dealing with college students, primarily freshman who are probably overwhelmed with the amount of school work they are facing. They are looking for a fun activity to help de-stress. A group that is focusing on research and more book-work will be a turn off. To get them hooked, we need to focus on the social activities we offer. If we do that, then the research interests will come later.

Short (5 - 10 minutes) demonstrations of some of our more popular social activities. We could have a fencing and heavy demonstration, a short simple English Country dance, a short performance by the choir or ii Genesii. We could also set up a table or two for A&S display, in the middle of the hall as folks walk in so that it can be seen right away, get them hooked when they walk in the door! Guilds and other activities can be represented on the A&S table, so that if someone is interested in something we can point them in the right direction. Unfortunately, I don't have time between now and next Wednesday to make flyers and post them up. Clemente and I are celebrating our 8th anniversary this weekend and the beginning of my week (Monday and Tuesday) are quite full with work and other things. If anyone is willing to do this, please let me know. I have a budget for photocopies so it doesn't have to be out of your pocket either. Don't look at the time stamp either, I can't sleep right now.

I never went to that one, but had been to the one in Framingham, MA --ironically, we thought the food was generally better than the beer, although some of their seasonal stuff was interesting. Also went one time to their original location with the Carolingian Jongleurs, after our annual "get your busker's license so we can go sing medieval Christmas carols in the Harvard T station, and then go get hot chocolate with the money we make". Two things happened. The first was that they didn't normally *serve* hot chocolate (which made ordering interesting). The second was that they had a band the night we were there, who were really annoyed with us for singing in the corner booth while we were on break -- mostly, IIRC, because we were better than they were and got more positive feedback from the rest of the patrons! :-) Lady Myfanwy ferch Rhiannon Ruth Morrisson myfanwy at nauticom.net > Paul Placeway wrote: >> It's a sad month for good beer in Pittsburgh: John Harvard's Brew >> House in Monroeville has closed after 13 years in business. >> >> http://www.bizjournals.com/pittsburgh/stories/2008/09/01/daily7.html >> >> Genevieve and I found out the hard way: we tried to go there this >> evening for dinner, after successfully going there last week. >> >> At least The Church is still open. > > The place mentioned in the article: Rivertowne Pour House is quite good, > if a bit loud.

The book is a series of exercises to build up the inner Artist and to maximize your creativity. Since nearly everything is more fun with company, I wanted to see if anyone was interested in being part of an Artist's Way "Creative Cluster" and doing the exercises together. We can use my book for this so everyone doesn't have to run out and buy it. Right now I don't have a place/time, but was considering doing this somewhere on the East End, probably the Borders in Penn Circle. Once I have an idea of who is interested in participating, we can work together to find the best time/day/place. Please send email to jenn.strobel(at)gmail(dot)com to express your interest or to ask any questions.

If interested, please let me know BEFORE FRIDAY, Sept 19th. If it has not been claimed _before_ Friday (IE, Thursday at the latest) it will be taken to be scrapped.

Again, it is free. It is not the prettiest, but it works.

Below are supplemental announcements related to the event. We hope that you will forward this message far and wide, so that it will be of best service to all who may benefit. MARK THE DATE! November 7-10, 2008 at Crestfield Camp & Conference Center, Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania (15 minutes from Cooper's Lake). Updated announcements and class listings will be posted on our web page, www.cooksandbards.aethelmearc.org. RESERVATIONS. There is still ample cabin and feast space available, and we will continue to accept pre-registrations (based on postmark) until October 31. See the event web page for details. CALL FOR TEACHERS. We still have room for additional classes. Even if you are not yet sure that you want to offer a class, let us know what you might like to teach, and also let us know of any help you might need to make it possible (e.g., co-teachers, equipment, a kitchen or propane stove). Also, feel free to suggest that class that you always wanted to take! ALTERNATIVE ACCOMMODATIONS. The event does not permit tent camping, and the township does not permit sleeping in vehicles, but if you are unable to afford cabin spaces and would like to attend the event, let us know and we will try to find you crash space near the site. Please specify the number of crashers, smoking preference and any pet allergies. If you require handicapped accommodations on site, we ask that you send us your reservation early so that we may guarantee appropriate arrangements. CABINS/BATHROOMS. The brochure says that the cabins will have bathrooms. Unfortunately, we recently learned that the site did not get the funding they expected, and they never installed them. The good news is, each cluster of three cabins has its own heated bathhouse (with sinks, showers and plenty of flushies!) within a stone's throw. The bunk beds in the cabins have unsheeted mattresses, but you will need to bring pillows, blankets and any additional bedding necessary for your comfort. ALCOHOL. The site will be "discreetly damp." Period containers, no kegs, and we request that you pack your empties. Common sense applies, please: becoming drunk and disorderly will be cause for removal from the site. MERCHANTS. Merchants are welcome at Cooks & Bards at no extra fee! Please contact our merchant liaison at kwcb-merchants at andrew-dot-cmu-dot-edu. Non-merchants with items to sell are welcome to do so informally, and a table will be provided where you may place a sample of your wares (at your own risk) along with personal information (such as a photo) that will enable your customers to identify you on site. PROCEEDINGS. Even if you do not intend to teach, consider submitting articles, recipes or stand-alone class handouts for inclusion in the event proceedings, to kwcb-proceedings at andrew-dot-cmu-dot-edu. QUESTIONS. Ask 'em! We aim to please. kwcb-info at andrew-dot-cmu-dot-edu. JOIN US! And let the fun begin.

Mostly, I would get a response out and return to my inbox to find two more added to the queue, waiting patiently, their little hands folded behind their backs. As I got to each one, I would lift it up and set it down in my lap. I would ask it what its name was and who had sent it, and then we would chat quietly for a while, comforting each other. Then I would kiss it on its forehead and send it back from whence it came.There was not one that was rude or thoughtless or crass or mean. Each one was sweet and thoughtful and a joy to spend a little time with. I only wish I could have offered more for them to bring back to their writers. Those of you who have written have shared your moments of memory, your fear, your pain, your sorrow. You've been vulnerable with me and offered me so many good thoughts and kind prayers to pass along that I've worked out a database system so that I can share them with the family without burying them in a pile of printed pages. I am very deeply touched with the emotion, fortitude, and gentleness you've displayed. Many of you offered to help in any way you can. This is the the very root of why SCA folk as a whole are so very very lovable. Once one person starts arranging tables, hefting gear, or cooking feast, others are quick to join in and help. The only problem is that there is little to nothing that anyone can do right now. Please believe me, if I thought that mobilizing a private army and moving the pyramids three feet to the left would help, I'd have my Egyptian kilt and whip on in a second. What I am going to need is help in the coming months. An event that takes a split second to happen has consequences that stretch out for years. Words like 'paperwork' and 'lawyer' and 'fees' come into play long after the horror of the first moment ceases to be fresh in the mind.If you are willing to help in the long run, or if you may be able to help in specific situations, or if you have professional knowledge that you would be willing to share in certain areas, I would love to hear from you. I would like to create a private list of people on whom I can call in the next year for advice or for help for Their Graces. If this sounds like something you'd like to do, please email me at dicea.deme at gmail dot com. This would be a private list that would be used only in organizing volunteers and helpers for Meirwen and Rowan. If that is not something that you are able or willing to do, that is perfectly okay. Right now, the good thoughts, the kind words, and the strong prayers you are all offering up freely are the things that we need and benefit from most. You are all amazing, loving, wonderful people and I am in awe of your generosity and willingness to share in the pain of others. Thank you for being who you are, each of you. I am honored beyond words to have witnessed your love and admiration.''When an archer is shooting for nothing he has all his skill. If he shoots for a brass buckle he is already nervous. If he shoots for a prize of gold he goes blind or sees two targets - he is out of his mind. His skill has not changed. But the prize divides him. He cares. He thinks more of winning than of shooting - and the need to win drains him of his power.' Chuang Tzu _________________________________________________________________ Get more out of the Web.

Please respond to her at dicea.deme at gmail dot com. Posted with permission from Dicea, Squire to Sir Morguhn Sheridan; "Last night and those parts of today when I was not actually driving, I've been responding to the emails that have come in response to our news announcements. Mostly, I would get a response out and return to my inbox to find two more added to the queue, waiting patiently, their little hands folded behind their backs. As I got to each one, I would lift it up and set it down in my lap. I would ask it what its name was and who had sent it, and then we would chat quietly for a while, comforting each other. Then I would kiss it on its forehead and send it back from whence it came.There was not one that was rude or thoughtless or crass or mean. Each one was sweet and thoughtful and a joy to spend a little time with. I only wish I could have offered more for them to bring back to their writers. Those of you who have written have shared your moments of memory, your fear, your pain, your sorrow. You've been vulnerable with me and offered me so many good thoughts and kind prayers to pass along that I've worked out a database system so that I can share them with the family without burying them in a pile of printed pages. I am very deeply touched with the emotion, fortitude, and gentleness you've displayed. Many of you offered to help in any way you can. This is the the very root of why SCA folk as a whole are so very very lovable. Once one person starts arranging tables, hefting gear, or cooking feast, others are quick to join in and help. The only problem is that there is little to nothing that anyone can do right now. Please believe me, if I thought that mobilizing a private army and moving the pyramids three feet to the left would help, I'd have my Egyptian kilt and whip on in a second. What I am going to need is help in the coming months. An event that takes a split second to happen has consequences that stretch out for years. Words like 'paperwork' and 'lawyer' and 'fees' come into play long after the horror of the first moment ceases to be fresh in the mind.If you are willing to help in the long run, or if you may be able to help in specific situations, or if you have professional knowledge that you would be willing to share in certain areas, I would love to hear from you. I would like to create a private list of people on whom I can call in the next year for advice or for help for Their Graces. If this sounds like something you'd like to do, please email me at dicea.deme at gmail dot com. This would be a private list that would be used only in organizing volunteers and helpers for Meirwen and Rowan. If that is not something that you are able or willing to do, that is perfectly okay. Right now, the good thoughts, the kind words, and the strong prayers you are all offering up freely are the things that we need and benefit from most. You are all amazing, loving, wonderful people and I am in awe of your generosity and willingness to share in the pain of others. Thank you for being who you are, each of you. I am honored beyond words to have witnessed your love and admiration. Dicea" Get more out of the Web. Learn 10 hidden secrets of Windows Live.

If people don't have plans already for tonight, you are invited to my house in Hampton Township at 7:00 p.m. to assist with making a variety of apple things. Some for Agincourt, some for personal consumption. What you get out of the deal is some apple sauce to take home and/or apple butter (which takes a day or so to make) at a later date. I will make snacks and pie making is part of the plan, so we will need some quality control :-) Please give me a call at home (412.486.0566) or on the cell (412.607.1461 - Ray's) to let me know that you're coming out.

Their Excellencies opened court and invited her Ladyship Gianna di Aurelio to attend them. They thanked her for all her hard work as Autocrat of the event, she in turn thanked all those who helped her accomplish the fine event that it had turned out to be, from the Cooks to the marshals, and all the other crews who helped to make the event. His Excellency then addressed the populace, he said that there had been a heavy weapons tournament that morning and that Lord Gabriel Hawkes had proven the victor in that tournament. His Excellency then presented Gabriel with an invitation to the upcoming Amethyst Tournament for his proven valor on the field. The Baron and Baroness then called for Lord Bovi Farmadr, They commended him for his fine metal working skills, and for his leather working skills, and his garb making, and for hosting so many arts and Sciences functions a this home, and for being named the newest companion of the Comet Azure-Argent, Scroll by Countess Aidan ni Lier. Their Excellencies saw that there were indeed more worthy gentles in the crowd and called forth Lady Madeliene de l'Este. They noted that she had been spending much time of late sitting at troll, and that They were very pleased by her service to the Canton of Steltonwald and the Barony-Marche as the Seschale of Steltonwald and so They awarded her a Comet Or, Scroll by Brianna of Steltonwald. Their Excellencies being wise, know that a court cannot happen without the skilled scribes that contribute the scrolls that commemorate awards givien, and this is indeed a high service, even more so is the thankless job of sending out scroll assignments. Their Excellencies invited Countess Aidan ni Lier into Their Court. They noted that this woman has served the barony for years as signet taking scroll assignments from Their Excellencies and distributing them to the scribes of the Barony, reminding Their Excellencies when when assignments are due, and insuring that scrolls are present at court when awards are given, additionally she had proven to be one of the most prolific scribes our barony has known, contributing personally more scrolls to the baronial courts than can be counted. For this Their Excellencies did produce a beautifully figured black scroll from Aidan's Apprentice THLady Gianna di Aurelio and so award her a Comet Azure-Argent for all that she does for the Barony. Lord Deryk the Archer asked for a moment of time in Their Excellencies' Court and was invited to come forth and address the populace. Deryk said that he could not do so alone and asked if he might invite another to join him. Their Excellencies encouraged him to do so, and Deryk invited Bethany Archer to join him before Their Excellencies. Deryk then drew a wooden box from his pouch and opened it for her, showing its contents of an emerald ring which he did offer her as a sign of their entrance into a handfasting. Bethany took the ring and agreed that she would be very pleased to proceed on this course and be handfasted to him. There being no further business, the court of Their Excellencies was closed.

Interesting. For those who are heraldically-challenged, comets are generally depicted as being estoiles (i.e., six-pointed stars with wavy arms) with tails.
