helblondeCome to Esfenn's Ye Grande Evente, the Esfenn First Sword Tournament and Feast of Fine Arts!
September 6, 2008
Los Cerritos Community Center in Fremont, CA
There is no site fee!
The feast is $15; tickets must be puchased in advance. We'll have tickets at Purg :)
Armor inspection is at 10am and the tournament starts shortly after. Sir Geoffrey Scott is the current First Sword and he wants to pack as much fighting into the day as possible. It's going to be an all-melee day. We will alternate tournament melees with our usual fabulous prize melees. Remember, first sword melees must be fought with some sort of sword or sword combo.
At 2:00, the hall opens for set up. Shortly after, people not engrossed in the fighting are welcome to come in and enjoy period games and fun. Some games will be provided, but feel free to bring your own. Dancing may begin as soon as people are willing and able. A table will be set up for people to display their artistic efforts. Please bring what you have been working on.
After the tournament, fighters are invited to retire to a nearby shire member's house for showers!
The feast starts at 5:00. Branwen will be cooking a literature-inspired meal. Some highlights are: pork with mustard sauce, onion soup, home-baked bread, rabbit, apple fritters, and venison. Want to help? The kitchen and servers will need an extra hand or three.
Between courses, many fantastic singers will be performing: the Bard of the Mists, the Treblemakers, Vittoria, and many others. We will also have much dancing throughout the evening. Master Vincent atte Woodgate will be our dance master. There will be an open floor during parts of the evening for people who wish to share a performance piece.
falzalot, who and what am I forgetting?

Date: 2008-08-14 07:42 pm (UTC)One snag, though -- I have to work that day, and while I am planning to sneak out early so I can make it to site before the feast starts, I may be trapped into staying a full day (until 5 pm), so there's a chance I won't make it to site until 5:30. This would make me very sad (and more than a little annoyed), but I wanted to give you a heads-up so you could plan accordingly. And that probably means I should not be scheduled as one of the first performers. :-/
Also, how long do you want my bit to be (ballpark)?
Thanks so much!
boo, work!
Date: 2008-08-15 04:49 am (UTC)I'll slot you in for a later performance. 15-20 minutes would be great, though you could go longer if you were inspired ;)

Date: 2008-08-15 04:58 am (UTC)For one of the pieces I want to teach the song to the audience, so it could very well go longer if people are into it. :-)
