stitchwhichI have sent out my 'reminder' about our event... I didn't spam every single list that might have a possible-atteendee on it but it feels as though I did. It is hard to find the right balance between promoting an event and turning off prospective attendees with constant in-your-face messaging. I hope I hit the right note.
here will be Hunker Hausen
There will be (non-regulation) dart tourneys
There will be a bar-brawl, rapier fighting, flowing beverages and overflowing food tables. There will be lovely flirtatious wenches to serve the men and handsome cabin boys (okay, men) to serve the ladies.
There will be Kubb (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kubb)
and Bocce ball http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bocce ,
and
Gambling card games such as
Gleek http://jducoeur.org/game-hist/game-recon-gleek.html
Laugh and lie Down http://jducoeur.org/game-hist/game-recon-laugh.html
Losing Loadum http://www.knauer.org/mike/sca/classes/Class_-_Losing_Loadum.pdf
Maw http://jan.ucc.nau.edu/~wew/Tattershall-tb/cards.html
and for the more impatient or luck-kissed, dice games such as
Hazard http://home.znet.com/savaskan/germans/hazard.html
Gluckhaus http://www.gothicgreenoak.co.uk/dice.html (scroll down)
Crown and Anchor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_and_Anchor
and of course, Shut the Box (need practise? play online here:
http://www.eyegrid.com/shutthebox/shutthebox.html)
All that and more is waiting for you at Marinus' Barnacled Bullfrog event, September 12th, in the lovely Planter's Clubhouse on a cliff overlooking the Elizabeth River. Come relax in an old-fashioned dance hall with sun-lit tables under wide windows and shadowed benches by the fireplace... and an expansive bar with a burly bartender overlooking it all.
Attendees will be given a pouch of money to 'spend' and 'bet' as they wish. The player with the most 'money' at the end of the event will win a prize. So will the (crowd acclaimed) owner of the "Best Soft Parrying weapon" (post-brawl), the "Best Wench" will sashay away with a little gift, the "Best Rogue" will have a little something to chortle over, and the winner of the darts tourney will head home with new equipment for their play.
This is a wet (very wet) site. If you are planning on indulging your love for fine spirits, please make sure you have a designated driver or ask the wenches/cabin boys to switch your beverage to something soft as the evening progresses*.
Food will be served liberally and tastily all day. Come join us!
