<div>well, i wanted to come to purim because she'era was cooking and it would be new unique food, but i didn't get off my butt in time and i missed the pre-reg (never thinking it would be full!) <br>maybe people come to these events because they are so specific that they sound like they will be small and intimate and some people prefer a small event to a big overwhelming thing like blackstone, icedragon, or warpractice.... people who like to spend time with people rather than doing many many things might be the ones who prefer these niche events OR maybe it's just niche events have fewer activities and so offer more time to relax?

<div>or, it could be that a niche event offers a chance to learn about something you don't know ANYTHING about and we are all knowledge sluts.... ;)</div>

<br>out. 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 standard 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.
