This year, the theme is "Robin Hood Movies," which encompasses everything from Errol Flynn (green tights, big teeth, badly choreographed fight scenes and singing), to Kevin Costner (grim, grungy, Not-So-Merry Men), to Mel Brooks (like the Errol Flynn version but with lots of sight gags). Planned Fighting Activities: Silly Weapons Heavy Tourney (Party Arms) "Escort Maid Marion" Fencing Tourney Other Planned Activities: Hostess Subtleties Best (Tackiest) Costume Contest Maid Marion Beauty Pageant "Robin Hood Movie Poster" Photo Posing Best Impression of Sean Connery as King Richard Silly Games (to be determined by Autocrat staff) Site Fee: Suggested Donation of $5 to cover cost of light lunch. So bring your sense of humor, green tights, and very tall conical hats with scarves attached to the tops to Tacky Tourney, and be swept up in the grandeur and excitement of a Middle Ages that never was--the Hollywood version of Robin Hood! Directions: from SR 520: Take SR 520 to the Montlake exit. Turn north on Montlake (toward UW). Cross the drawbridge and turn left at the first traffic light onto Pacific St (across from Husky Stadium). Move into the left lane and turn into the emergency entrance of the UW Medical Center. Continue as below. Directions: from I-5: Take the 45th Street exit heading east. Turn right on 15th. Follow the directions to the UW Medical Center, parking lot S10. Continue as below. For both directions: look for lot S10, which is the lot just past the booth. Park in the lot. In the middle of the far side of the parking lot there is a path that heads downhill; walk down that path to where it meets a road. The park is directly behind the EEU Gym. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- badger@nwlink.com * Brander (Badger) Roullett * branderr@microsoft.com Homepage: http://www.nwlink.com/~badger In the SCA I am known as.... Lord Frederick Badger of Amberhaven | Squire to Viscount Sir Nicholaus Red Tree Pursuivant, Madrone | Champion, College of Saint Bunstable "When the water of a place is bad it is safest to drink none that has not been filtered through either the berry of a grape, or else a tub of malt. These are the most reliable filters yet invented." -- Samuel Butler (1835-1902) .
