Attn. hadesgirl: Knowne World Costuming Symposium

[anotheranon]

Got this gem in my email box this evening:

Mark your calendar now for next year's Knowne World Costuming Symposium (SCA event)! It will be September 25-26, 2004 at the Four Points Sheraton in North Canton, Ohio (about 60 miles south of Cleveland).

Anyone interested? It's not like I'm not giving you MASSIVE prior warning...

This is technically a listing of this year's classes - the SCA plans these things WAYY in advance, but this is probably representative of what to expect next year. The N. Canton event already has a page (http://4th.com/sca/alderford/events/kwcs2004/), but there's not much there.

Re: the SCA - you've almost certainly ran into some SCAdians in your sci-fi con days as there seems to be a lot of crossover between the two groups. In SCA-geography, Ohio is part of the Midrealm (http://www.midrealm.org/), and you can probably find links there to your local subgroups etc.

Here at least Arts and Sciences seems to take a back seat to fighting (rapier, heavy combat, archery) and while the organization is one of the most open and friendly I've ever met, I just don't have the time or energy to really get much out of it! However, I'm willing to make exceptions for big arts/science events.

They do require that everyone wear "an attempt at medieval dress" to all events, but this is pretty easy to make/pull out of your own closet.
