<DIV>Do we have to dress a certain way for the event? I didn't read anything about being dressed in a certain way. I don't even know what Purim is, I figured it would give me a chance to learn something new, and it just sounded interesting. I also wanted to go because it will give me a chance to do something, anything. As long as it doesn't envolve me thinking about, well, anything. Now I'm not sure about going because I don't have anything to wear. And I was bringing my mom, and now she won't have anything to wear. Maybe I'll just say we are Chinese Jews, or Jewish Chinese, or maybe we'll just stay home.</DIV></DIV>

What's even more curious is the exceptional <BR>> number of non-Jews who are coming. Something similar <BR>> happened with the Vetr Things and Mongol events, <BR>> supposedly small niche events that had lots of <BR>> non-target event goers show up. <BR>> <BR>> [Disclaimer: This is very much NOT A BAD THING just <BR>> extremely odd from the autocrat's point of view.] <BR>> <BR>> So why is this happening? Why do you (non-Jews with <BR>> Purim, non-Viking types with the Vetr Things, <BR>> non-Mongols with the Mongol event) come to these <BR>> events? What makes them more/less/differently <BR>> attractive then a s
tandard SCA event with fencing, <BR>> fighting, thrown weapon, A&S display and sit down <BR>> feasts <BR>> <BR>> As if those aren't enough questions, what kind of <BR>> events would you like to see in this barony and why? <BR>> <BR>> Hrefna <BR>> <BR>> ---------------------------------------------------------- <BR>> And this above all to thine own self be true. <BR>> - Shakespeare, "Hamlet" <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> ________________________________________________________________________________ <BR>> ____ <BR>> Never miss an email again! <BR>> Yahoo!
