My lovely dearest Kat, sitting in front of the tent after setting it up
at Pennsic 35. We had a wonderful time! We have
many pictures.

While at Pennsic, we took a henna class. Here's what we did!
Henna is a method and material for making temporary tattoos. It's
an age-old technique of using a natural dye that wears off over days or weeks.
We have many pictures of our Pennsic trip.

In armor. I had just bought the shield slung on my back, and
the spaulders on my shoulders.

My brand new spaulders and shield. And the rest of my armor. :)

In armor, sporting my new spaulders and shield. I ran into
a fellow Crusader, a Templar who was out and about for the
day. We decided to get some pictures.
This poor fellow's face was pretty crunched up inside his helmet.
Looked as though he pretty well flattened his nose to fit into it.

A close-up of me, showing the new brass spiral knighthood chain.
It's laying across my Merc's Guild pin, which I finally discovered is quite easy to pin onto my coif.
I've worn the pin off and on over the years.

I managed to drag the
plate armor out to faire again. This time I was sporting
the brand new chainmail skirt I completed during the week
before this.

My plate armor made it to MDRF a second time, this time on
closing weekend. The chainmail skirt hung a little lower than
intended this time, but oh well. I need to do more work on it
anyway. Still need to get me some greaves and sabatons. And a
gorget that doesn't suck.

Another shot of me from the Saturday of MDRF closing weekend, in armor. I'm not posting all
of these in rapid succession out of vanity, but rather the fact that I like to have a
good record of my armor's evolution, and each shot seems to bring something different to it.
Photo taken by my co-worker, Alana. Wholly stolen from our company's intranet. :)

The teddy-bear surcoat lives again! Yes, my first time in many years to
participate in "The Day of Wrong"
This one doesn't wear as well, and of course, well, chainmail tends
to bunch up in certain areas and amplify your gut a bit.
The amusing thing is that many people would ask for my picture, and
compliment me on the armor, and THEN realize I was wearing teddy-bear
flannel.
Ah yes, the joys of being Sir Ted de Bear, Knight of the Order of Saint Theodore. lol!

Many of the knights in the jousting tournament. MDRF does have
a good jousting show. The Free Lancers are top notch!

This was a great scene from our 2006 visit to TRF (more pictures).
The knight got down on one knee and sang to the elderly woman. She just
sat and grinned... I think it made her day, beyond words...
