East Kingdom 12th Night is postponed

[liamstliam]

The school at which tomorrow's East Kingdom 12th Night event was to be held has informed the site coordinator the school will be closed down because of a forecast of a serious snow storm.

EK 12th Night will be held next Saturday, Jan. 17. There were no other viable options, and Their Majesties apologize in advance to al-Hafla and the Kingdom of Acre.

I would ask you not contact the event steward with any issues until next week. Things are very hectic right now.

We will have a week to make sure everything comes off as well as it can.

If you have any questions/comments/concerns, please contact me at liamstliam@gmail.com

I do not have posting access to the household list or the Ladies In Waiting list. Could someone pass it on, please?

Thank you,

Master Liam St. Liam
Major Domo to Their Majesties East

It's Twelfth Night, though, which people are often more willing to travel for.

You're also discounting people coming into town from away, though I don't know if they'd come from as far away as NY State.

I go to one con a year, and drive ten hours for it, so the idea of driving, what, four hours? for Twelfth Night isn't that foreign to me.

Whereas when I was in the SCA, I lived somewhere that had events nearly every month, so there was no need to drive four hours for anything. I guess it's all in what you're accustomed to.

Amusingly, when I finally got my AoA, I had to leave Arisia for a couple of hours to go pick it up, because someone had decided it was a good idea to have a kingdom-level event and a major convention in the same metro area on the same weekend.

You're preaching to the choir. I "grew up" in Quintavia and now live in Towers. I'll still go out to NYS for Hrim Schola when I can.

Maybe it's that I've never lived in the metro area where public transportation was an option. I've always had to get in the car to get where I wanted to go, so what's a few more hours?

Yeah, in Carolingia, I rarely had to drive more than half an hour for an event. It had to be something pretty special to get me to drive an hour or more.

I live in Drachenwald. Talk about driving/flying distances! :) (I previously lived in Atenveldt/Outlands, so I'm used to it. The difference here is that a passport is needed. :)

Keep in mind that, even when Carolingia was running events monthly (which it really doesn't any more), there were a lot of us travelling pretty substantial distances to out-Barony events on a regular basis. (Actually, I travelled a lot *more* on average back then, I think.)

It's all a matter of how deep you are: you can do SCA monthly (or so) just on a local basis, but more than that requires you to get out and about. And it's actually more fun that way -- you get to see how other people play the game, which gets more variety into it...
