Any SCAers out there?

The Honorable Lady Catherine de Gray, current Bard of the West (for two more weeks) here! I live in the beautiful Province of Golden Rivers (Sacramento, CA) in the glorious Principality of Cynagua, in the first, the mother, the cradle of Kingdoms, the West! I have the honor of camping with the renowed Haus von Schwetzingen and am extremely active with various officer positions and autocrating. Can't wait to have surgery so I'll be able to keep up with myself! Going to my initial Orientation with the bariatric team in South San Francisco in a couple weeks, going to bust my buns to get my 10% lost and get in to surgery! Luckily, there are several other wonderful ladies in my Kingdom (my Laurel included) who have had the surgery done and I have a great support network for who to ask the endless questions (what did you eat at events at first, just how far can you take in a cotehardie, can I wear your garb when you're done, etc). Planning on taking the summer easy after I step down as Bard, lounge around in loose Arabic clothing, drink my protein shakes and dream about all the new garb my Lord will get to buy me next year, heh. ~ Catherine

This is kind of interesting! I am current in the process of building a new suit of scale mail to handle my current size, and since I am going to have the surgery on 1/18/2006. I will be very interesting in seeing how much I have to trim in order to get my armor to fit again. It think it is going to be very to compete again!

Greetings from Lady Geneveive de Lironcourt (mka Jenn) from the Barony of Elfsea in the Stellar Kingdom of Ansteorra.

So glad to find an SCA-esque forum!

The past few months have been interesting for me as I've been traveling A LOT as entourage for TRM's Hfran and Elizabeta.  This coming weekend is my one weekend off before their final court at Coronation the first weekend of November.

It has been SOOOOOO hard to not go crazy making new garb.  I'm a 14th century Cote junkie and they are not really good for 'altering' past about 40#.  Before this year and begining my WLJ I didn't own anything else except cotes and Persian M.E. dance wear.  But I've made a few Vikings now and I'm sticking with them until my weight stablizes.

Good luck!

He! He! I just joined today. I was suprised to see a post about SCAers (even if it is an old one). I've made many harum pants and afraid to buy. Most of the pretty clothes that are AZ appropriate are too small.       I am a Pyrate by day and was a belly-dancer by night. I can't fit in my dancing clothes anymore. Oh well.
