Pennsic 36 was fun and here is a bit of video to show how much fun it was.  The first part, about a minute long is of the Unbelted Champions War Point battle between the Midrealm and the East.  I appologize for the quality, as I did not have my tripod with me nor was I able to zoom in prior to lay on and get some good quality action.

Then there is 2 minutes worth of the Belted Champions War Point between the Midrealm and the East.  This part of the video is a bit better quality as I was able to zoom in on some of the action, which also means that you cannot see all the action all the time, but I hope I captured some of the best parts of it.  You might want to keep the audio down a bit as it is NOT good at all, you might even call it very bad!

Enjoy!

Oh and by the way, I was able to get a CD with video's from Duke Paul of Bellatrix school of training, so look for those soon.  Kith went to Pennsic for the very first time as well, so I cannot wait to get him on the line and hear what fun he had!

Viscount Sir Tristan and I finally get a chance to spar at Pennsic 36!  Having not fought much in the past year, I get smoked... with an under the leg shot, which I had never seen before.  Nice.

 

Oh and Kith was at Pennsic, so look for some good commentary soon.  I also ran into Duke Paul of Bellatrix and he was gracious enough to give to me a CD of his School of Bellatrix Training on it.  He has also given me permission to post some of it up here, so look for the videos soon.

As Pennsic is here and most of you are already probably there, I look forward to it as I do every year.  The gathering of kindred souls and meeting with friends, who it has been sometime since we had talked or met.  A magical time as always.

This year, however, a household brother of mine and a good friend will be unable to make it to Pennsic, even though he is only a few hours a way.  He is quite ill and having a hard time getting around.  Unfortunately he is also an artist or fortunately if you have heard him before.  He is a musician and makes is living off of teaching others how to play the guitar.  This means that if he is not able to teach, which he currently is not or he would be at Pennsic, then he is not making money. 

I ask all those that enjoy this podcast and listening to me rant sometimes, that please go and puchase a copy of his latest CD from here:

He goes by the name of Draco in the SCA and he is a very cool person, so please help him and his family out in their time of need and get some enjoyment out of his music while your at it.

See you all at Pennsic, I will be staying in Company of Outremer's camp in N17 along Chey Ping Way, which is between N16 and N17.  Look for the crosses, not the maltesse ones either.  I will only be there for about 3 days, from Monday-Wednesday probably.
