An Tir Dearg

This would be awesome. I believe I will be here.

HAI I'll sure be there!

Hope you all can come up. I'll see if we can pull together some funds and get some pizzas and bottled water for the night.

What grade is Romeo in?

12th. He should also have a job by then. McDonalds has had him go get a work permit and health card. Don't know what kind of schedule he will have but hey, he won't need to ask for money no more! =)

Konradr

I keep forgetting the 'HAI' or was that suppose to be "Hail!" as in "Sieg Heil Barad'Dun!"

=)

Konradr

"hai", just poking fun at Akeria's post

If you're going to say "hi" like "hai" then you'll have to put a "y'awl" at the end of it. "Hai Y'awl!"

Konradr

Hai, this is pretty much a 'go'. Romeo wants to go and that makes it a graduation wish. The only thing I can see getting in the way is his new job. He graduates that day so maybe they won't schedule him to work. We'll see. Of course, I could go without him and just bring an effigy of hime for you guys to beat on. We'll see. Taco wants to go, so we'll see how many others I can carry with us.

Konradr

Awesome. It is always good to see you guys. I am looking forward to this.

Thanks for keeping us posted!

Sorry to have missed you at Yestare as well.

Drive safe when you come up.

It will be great to get together, if it happens. Looking forward to it.

Bump. Haven't got alot of interest from others, but practice was small this Saturday, I'll ask more next Saturday. But Romeo still wants to go and he wants to bring his girlfriend to impress her I guess. So it will at least be me, romeo and Taco, but I will check with more peeps next Saturday.

Konradr

PS: Tiberius, you still have that sword that my nephew left at WOR II ???

Of course I still have it; I'd never do you wrong!

Looking forward to having even just the four of you come up. Tell Romeo that if he wants to impress a girl he needs to firstly fight in shoes and secondly lose the tail!

I'll get to show off my new glaive to you guys, too. Finally, something else as tall as Taco.

Oh, and what do you think of a new kit / persona I'm coming up with: Eiríkr blóðøx. I'm going to ask one of our plastidip pros to make a viking shield, and then I'm going to really buckle down and make those axes I wanted to so long ago. My chain mail will work, but eventually I'll need to procure one of Fork's cheap spangenhelms.

Norse persona's are cool. Oddvar loves his dual axes. Another fighter has returned to the realm after doing some college in San Francisco. I don't know if you guys had met Dante. He's aggressive and was one of the original Black Lions (taco's unit) He wants to come up too.

Konradr

Cool, bring Dante along! The more the merrier.

The more I look into it, the less Eric Bloodaxe seems to be a good persona.

I'm thinking possibly more along the lines of Ulf the Brave, Hallbjorn Halftroll (Ulfsson), or Úlfr Bjálfason (Kveldulf - evening wolf).

Halftroll seems fitting, and his history as a hersir leaves plenty of wiggle room.

Heads up Reminder!

Vegas is coming up in 2 days!

Wear garb! Bring PASSING weapons!

Since I completely spaced announcing this at last week's practice, the pizza and gatorade are completely on me. My treat.

If you want to bring anything else to add, that's much appreciated.

I'm hoping we can have more numbers than Konradr's minivan can hold.....hint hint wink wink nudge nudge. (You know who you are!)

ALSO!

Isk informed me that we're going to have some media peeps come by to do a story on us.

Even more reason to garb up and show up!

nice work with the media coverage hope you guys have good attendance wish i could be there

We had a decent showing as did Barad'dun.

Good fighting all around, and it made me very happy to see our good friends and family again.

We'll post pics and a link to the news article when it comes up.

Thanks vegas guys!

We are missing you already, too. It went well and Sarah arched for a while. We invited her to be Deshi-Ko if she keeps fighting.

It was AWESOME to see our Vegas peeps up to visit! Just love fighting with you guys.

To echo what's already been said, it was really good seeing you guys again. Thanks for coming.

did any one find the article they wrote about us in the paper yet I looked and couldnt find it.

Not up yet.

I was hoping yesterday it would have, but being Sunday today, we'll just have to wait until Monday.

From the discussion with him, sounds like his editor may just put up pieces at will depending on how she feels or what sorts of stories have been run lately.

He did say it would be up before Wednesday though.

You know what really ticks me off? On this stgnews.com I read a story that St George has decided in their infinite wisdom to put up a freaking carousel in the town square park, to the tune of $300,000.00.

They "hope" it will pay for itself in 5 years and plan to sell rides for possibly $1, but are considering "passes". Who the hell's gonna buy a freaking carousel pass? It's not like its good at an amusement park that will get you on tons of cool rides. And what about all the vandalism its going to be subjected to? Or all the increased police work needed because nosy and annoying moms and dads are going to call 911 because teenagers are "hanging out" and being "suspicious".

Damn city could have given us a raise after 3 years, or given us actually useful insurance, but nope, they want a carousel and cut our insurance even more and literally yell at us and tell us how selfish we are at city meetings because we have the audacity to use it.

/rant.

+1 on St. George city council are idiots.

Also, the article is still not up yet. The more I work with reporters, the less I trust them. I have never yet had a reporter deliver on their promises for showing the article beforehand or being truly honest on the nature of their coverage. We'll see if these guys can at least deliver on the second point.

Yeah, how many times has it been now that someone offered to cover us, and has not come through?...3?
Did any of us know these people on a personal level?

And, I agree with the rant too Tiberius. That's super-stupid.

Frustrating.....

The reporter did lead on that it was up to his editor to get the articles posted, and the vibe I got was that he didn't feel it would be up "soon" (though he did specifically say it would be up before Wednesday) /he agreed with how she ran the show.

Maybe we'll have to submit our own news story and see if the papers will run it?

Iknow the reporters brother, I did the ren faire thing with him. I can mabe find out thru him a little more, mabe. I agree with the kids ride and that its a stupid idea. Why not a water park, that makes sense.

the article is on st george news.http://www.stgnews.com/archive/2011/06/22/merry-medieval-mayhem-at-nisson-park/,this is the link.

Thank for the link. I think that turned out really awesome. Also, I put it up in the Pictures and Videos forum on the Bel board: http://board.belegarth.com/viewtopic.php?f=149&t=38449

I thought it turned out quite nicely too. Glad it finally showed, :)
