Hey Chris,

You or any of your group available to come down and demo on Friday before our Fayre? We are playing with the idea of holding a School Day show apart from the Fayre itself, and I want to make sure that we will have enough program material before I take it to the school districts.

Just let me know!

Cheers,

Lloyd-

I'll check to see who would be available and get back to you as soon as I can.

Everyone else-

I had to move the files to a different site, as my bandwidth was getting a bit chewed up. What that means is you will need to use IE to open the files up, Mozilla doesn't seem to care for Windows Media Player and secure connections.

Chris, you guys will never be insulted by watermelons again! The leg of lamb, on the other hand, may seek vengeance if he recovers from the surgeon's cauterization. Laughing Out Loud

I agree! Fruit salad was on the menu that night.

It looks like we're going to try and give it one more go this upcoming weekend, so I'll see if I can get some more footage. Hopefully I'll have my spiked mace back to show off too. *grumble, grumble, grumble*

Gallagher doesn't have anything on you guys. Big Grin I gave a similar demonstration in a high school speech class, but only had a sword then. My choice of victims was the same. Watermelon must be one of the most abused fruits.

Ok, we are a go for this upcoming Saturday at 6:00 at the Bristol Renaissance Faire for those of you that are local. For those that aren't, I'll try to get some more video this time around.

Any weapon requests? Big Grin

Hey Chris,

We will be there on Saturday. I will try and remember to bring the MT breastplate for you to beat up (we are now using the Crusader Great Helm (holes and all) for our Saracean Head cutting demos, so I need it until the October Show (when all of us will get a chance to do MAJOR damage on it Eek! ).

See you Saturday!

Cheers,

Sounds great Lloyd! Hopefully I'll have my mace back from A&A then in condition enough to hit a breastplate with!
