redfishieI have a lot to update on; mostly weekend stuff. more on that later- for now something that came up while on the phone with a couple of friends about the fencing edict in the SCA (which basically states all tourneys that the king is at will be schlaegers only 'cause they're just so darn cool.)
There are serious implications for me on this since I'm not schlaeger qual'd and a good chunk of the events I'm going to be will be RPs and hence schlaeger only tourneys.
It basically means that I won't be fighting in any tourneys anytime soon. There *may* be side areas with pick-ups for epees, but there's no guarentee on this and a lot of the fencers who do both will probably be in the tourneys....so I'll have a smaller group to fence with in general. So I may not be able to fence much at these events...making me less likely to go to events :(
..and I really can't just go and pick up schlaeger...there's a reason why it's a seperate form and a seperate qual. The way schlagers move is different. I can't reliably get to a practice to work on it. I can work on other quals at home (but schlaeger isn't one of those) and I also don't feel like spending the $$$ for a schlaeger + better breast protection + a better gorget right now. so not happy.
lots more to say but i need to get going...
