Kalamazoo is an academic conference, and geared to the academic
researcher. It is not a re-enactment event. However, quite a few
re-enactors who are interested in scholarly research in medieval studies
do go there, with the understanding that they are there as
students/scholars. The conference is hard to get to and expensive, but if
this is up your alley, it is a heady and rewarding experience.
The $125 registration fee is not that expensive. I know I've paid quite
a bit more than that to go to some conferences in other fields of study.
It's a bit daunting to pay for the hotel room and travel expenses, but
really, it's not as bad as all that, especially if you partner with
someone else for the hotel room.
And if I was in Kalamazoo or within a few hours of there that weekend,
I'd go. Just looking through the list of sessions, I'd have a hard time
deciding which sessions to attend, but I'd go. The "Old Clothes, New
Tools" sessions are rather enticing, but there are a host of others I'd
love to attend also.
