Wanna be in a movie? - 12th C. characters needed THIS WEEKEND

Yes, I know it is short notice... but a link to the original casting call was posted to the Malagentia and Stonemarche email lists in mid-Sept.

I got a call from one of the main people involved in this yesterday and they seem pretty short on people.  If you're interested definitely contact them.

September's casting call with contact info:

A write-up on the film from last year's filming:

They especially need people who have garb and armor and can swing a sword safely from the sound of things.

Filming is THIS Sunday, 7 October and probably next Sunday as well.

Period Tent Wanted (Repost)

I'm looking for a used tent to camp in.  Specifically, I'd prefer either a French Double Bell or Square Marquis.  And it needs to be a reltively small one.  It doesn't need to be in perfect condition or even include the poles, but it would need to be usable and relatively water tight.  This will be for just me and perhaps one other person.  An awning would be a bonus but is not necessary.

If your family has outgrown your small tent, I'd love to take the old one off your hands. 

I know of plenty of good places for new tents, but I'm on a budget and I'm not sure how long it'll be before I need to upgrade to a larger tent... so better to look for a used one.

Pricing is negotiable as long as it's less than the one I'm drooling over at TentSmiths'.  I can arrainge a pickup at Midsummers (In Stonemarche) or pretty much anywhere in Stonemarch or the adjoining territories.  If you know of anyone getting rid of their tent, please feel free to pass this along.

Thanks,

Brian of Stonemarche

Fighter/Fencer Combined Practice in Nashua?

Greetings,

For those of you not on the Yahoo Group and might be interested, I am trying to put together a combined fighter practice (unofficial at this point) in the Nashua area.  There seems to be support for it, but I need to know who might be interested and what days/times are best.  I'm available weekdays after 6 and weekends when nothing else is going on.

As for location, I'm looking at a public place.  My first choice if we don't get told we can't is the Welcome Center off Exit 6.  It has a building to warm up in, running water, and rest room facilities as well as a lit and mostly unused parking lot.  Other choices would be Greeley or Mines Falls parks but they do close at dusk, so we'd probably be limited to weekends there.

Any thoughts?  Ideas?  Anyone think I'm having delusions of grandeur?

Yours in Service,

Brian of Stonemarche

I've made a community here on LJ to publicize completed plans to assist our fellow SCAdians in times of crisis. Please take a look at sca_crisisplans

Please note, this is not intended as a forum for formulating plans, rather it is a site where all of the details of a completed plan can be posted in one place and at one time. Hopefully this will make it easier for people to decide how to participate and will reduce duplication of effort.

Posted in my personal journal, and in as many other SCA related places as I can. If it doesn't belong here, feel free to delete it. If you like the idea, pass it on to others.

Unofficial SCA Fencing Practice in Nashua

It's spring and that means we can mooch some outdoor practice space in
Nashua again!

On Wednesday Evenings, once again I will be willing to do an unofficial
practice in Nashua, NH. Again, it would be at the same time and place as
the local Realms of Wonder LARP fighter practice. (www.realmsnet.net)

The location is the Stellos Stadium parking lot right next to the
Commuter Parking area.

Directions:
 From Rt. 3 (F. E. Everett Turnpike) take exit 5 West ( Rt. 111 to
Hollis and Pepperrell). This will put you on NH Rt. 111 West. Take a
quick Right towards the Nashua Police Station (look for the blue lights
or the signs for the police department)
on to Panther Dr. about 100 feet on to Rt. 111. (If you miss it, turn
right at the lights on to Riverside St. or make a U-turn and follow the
directions from Hollis & Pepperell.) At the Stop Sign, turn LEFT. Take
your first Right and bear left to the parking lot. It's big, open, and
flat so you should see people whacking eachother with boff weapons.

 From Rt. 111 Hollis/Pepperell: Take Rt. 111 East towards Nashua. A
few hundred yards before Rt. 3 is a traffic light. Take a Left here on
to Riverside St. The parking lot is the first thing you'll get to on
your left.

If you need more instructions, just look on your favorite mapping web
site for Panther Dr. and you'll be in the neighborhood.

I'll usually be there around 6-7pm or whenever I get out of work (as
soon as I get a new job). Practice goes till it's too dark to safely
fight or the weather gets bad or we all get bored.

If you don't see anyone you know or are put off by the fantasy stuff
going on around you, just look for me or ask for Brian.  Most people
there know me.  If you start getting suited up, I'll come over and say
hello.

Unofficial Fencing Practice in Nashua

For any of you who may have missed the announcements in the Stonemarche Yahoo group and the NH_Rapiers group...

Once more, I'm happy to announce unofficial fencing practice will take
place in Nashua tonight and every Tuesday evening for the forseeable future from 5pm to 8pm in the back room of Dania's Entertainment Center on Main St. (Directions under the cut)

If you don't know where that is, it's where Headlines used to be, right
across from CVS Pharmacy. (Please do not park in CVS' parking lot!)

The staff at Dania's encourages us to buy bottled water from the front
bar and to stick around for drinks or sodas after we are done fighting.
They also have pool tables if anyone wants to rent the balls.

OT:
After practice is Emergence, Nashua's first and only Goth themed club
night. It starts at 8pm right after practice and the cover is $5. See
http://www.emergenceclub.com for details.

I hope to see everyone there. Please bring any extra equipment you may
have and if you are completely new, come along any way and we'll try to
hook you up.

Experienced fencers are also needed, as we seem to have a few new-comers.... and I'm not even close to being ready to teach properly...
