Andrea wants me to join y'all for sushi on Friday night -- but it's going to be totally dependent on my getting through traffic from Westwood to San Pedro in a reasonable amount of time.

... Andrea's planning on bringing my wedge-tent and poles out with y'all -- you'll need the stakes, a mallet, a couple of dry-wall screws and a power drill (maybe not the last two items 'cuz we MIGHT be able to get those taken care of on Wednesday). It can go up in less than 30 minutes with just ONE person doing it - two or more and it becomes cake-n-pie to set up.

The Blackshire's main tent is NOT going out, so you don't have to worry at all about helping set up that monster. No telling WHEN Brian and Company are going to be arriving or if they'll be bringing out things like pikes or cassocks for the rest of the group (*maybe they'll be bringing cassocks* ... doubt very much they'll have pikes)

I'm thinking Blackshire's will *just* be setting out an array of personal tents and people will bring out whatever weapons they've got... which means mostly swords.

I've got rapiers, long-swords, a halberd, and my breastplate & helm in terms of display / demonstration items.

Wait for Mike Cravens before you start setting up 'cuz he's the one in charge of the layout for St. Mike's... If you *really* feel like being helpful, I'm sure he'd love to get a hand or two to help set up his area.
