[SCA-Dance] Fw: KWDS report (What I Did on my Summer Vacation...)

[bfg1]

With a discussion on the KWDS site(s) planned for Pennsic and a potential
for a telecom, we should discuss what day we will have the discussion. My
put is for Monday or Tuesday of the 2nd week so that the most dancers are
present. For me, I may drive back home sometime during the 2nd week to prep
for upcoming meetings.

That was several years ago, maybe 6 years ago or more.

I think we can revisit the topic, especially when we have 4 places
expressing interest in hosting. Personally, I don't think "it does
draw from the whole known world" being a good excuse. When I was in
the Seattle KWDS, there were maybe a handful flying in from outside
the country (not counting Canada), similarly for the KWD in Texas. And
you see the same usual suspects at Pennsic and KWDS, and the same
subset of them at Terpischore or Crystal Ball (both yearly dance
events which draws people from outside their kingdom).

Either way, there is a lot to be gain for letting KWD be annual for 4
years, and then revisiting it to see if it needs to be once every two
years. We don't have to be set in one particular way or another.

I know if the next KWD is in Europe, I will be missing it. And having
missed the one in Canada, and the next one in Europe, that's 4 years
of no KWD for me, because of travel limitations. Having it annually
would mean I miss it every other year, instead of for 4 year stretches
at a time.

people said the expense and time commitment would be too great.  Since it
does draw from the whole Known World, a significant number of attendees pay
to fly in.  Since it uses three days, plus travel time, it uses up weekday
vacation time that could have been spend at Pennsic, etc., so people said
they didn't want to make that commitment every year.

event (here in Trimaris) and found it fairly easy to coordinate.  An extra
benifit of this is that you dont have to spen the time you are physically
together discussing when you could be dancing.

(even if my good cousins here don't know me from Adam's housecat) as a
couple of us here in southern Trimaris have been bouncing the idea of
bidding on a KWDS.  We haven't spoken to the others in the dance community
in our Kingdom - yet - and so I have been loathe to mention it previously on
this list.  I will admit, the prospect of looking to being able to do this 8
to 10 years from now is somewhat discouraging....   *Has* the idea of an
annual event been previously discussed?

further discussing the next KWDS bid here on the list and since Uracca can't
be there, you'd think that someone would be able to call her and put her on
speaker phone similar to a conference call. If we met on the middle Sat or
Sun, we could use my phone.
