Highlights from the Mar. 21 Commons

My silly humans lost their notes on the meeting, so I'm filling in for them.

I've been wanting to go to one of these event things for a long time, because I love meeting new humans (especially the ones with food), but the humans in charge keep saying No Dogs Allowed.  So here's my list of Reasons Why Dogs Should Be Allowed At SCA Events:

(10) Great way to meet babes.
(9) We never talk about computers.
(8) Some of us make wonderful costume accessories.
(7) We love washing dishes (slurp...)
(6) Dogs walking under (and on) tables picking up scraps add to the medieval feast ambience.
(5) When we fawn on people, we expect nothing in return.
(4) Roman persona dogs get to wear cool armor.
(3) "Sorry, I have to walk the dog" a good way to get out of boring meetings.
(2) Perfect footwarmers for chilly Pennsic evenings
and
(1) Us: cold wet noses; Them: short tunics and tights.

And, as always, the Webmaster and Chronicler of Ostgardr request articles, event reviews, photos, drawings, museum exhibitions, etc.
