The SCA fair was fantastic. My expectations were met or exceeded on every front. Granted, they had been lowered somewhat by the meek showing the chesterville event got, but the Osgood medieval festival was an undoubtably successful. There must have been a couple hundred people present, and while they weren't all dressed up like a full SCA fair, a surprising amount were anyways. I found myself more than a little sad I had decided I wouldn't need my shield and sword that day, they would have fit right in.
In terms of building the armor set there's even more good news. We managed to run into the owner of the south tower armoring guild and had a chat with him. I'd have included it in our video, but we were regrettably too caught up in the conversation to remember to bring out the camera. He's willing to sell us a helmet far better than I thought we'd find for under $200, no shipping fees required. Given it's the biggest hurdle we've had for compiling an armor set due to the necessity of quality I couldn't be more happy that we found a local group to help us out.
Finally the video itself will be going up in short order. I want it done by Tuesday, but we'll have to see how that goes. It's also the day we intend to go pay the South Tower guys a visit, so we may be busy or distracted. We pulled in a bunch of good footage though, so it's inevitably going to show up soon. I'm dedicated to making the videos come more regular now, and damned if I'll fail so quickly. Keep an eye out.
