We're no longer active in SCA, but I would like to meet you some day. We're in Wisconsin, if you ever come up this way, stop by. We can throw our own little war, as my Master is teaching our boys sword fighting. One time they were having a series of duals, or 2 on one, and this was all ok until I joined in, and my dog Cinder took exception to him attacking me. She leaped on him and planted her feet in a sensitive spot, which knocked him out of combat.
