So, can someone who went to KWCS in Kansas this weekend tell us how it went?
I had fun. I thought it was worth the entrance fee (and the two hour drive) , and I learned something in every class. There was a bit of a crush at registration, and somehow I missed the costume show after lunch (they started on time, who expected that?) I thought there was a good selection of vendors, a lot better quality merchandise than I recall seeing at any SCA event from back when I was playing regularly.
Let's see, I took a men's medieval wear class and Kass McGann's Irish class Saturday, missed Marc Carlson's shoe class as a result :(. Sat in a good class on early Spanish men's wear, and one on Russian women's clothing and then there was the long drive home.
Sunday it was the Historic Replicas class, and somehow I missed the German clothing class after that, and went to another early Spanish one. The pleatwork embroidery lecture that afternoon was pretty well researched, I thought, some real interesting material. The last two hours were kind of a bust, I didn't think much of either class, so I won't mention what they were. Likely the teachers were as tired as I was.
I bought some buttons and some silk for the stash. Anyone know where next years event is going to be? Dawn _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
