C.L. Some of us are sighing for the OLDE DAYS- when people wore costumes to events, music was everywhere, and you couldn't wait to get to the event and hated to leave. When you returned home there was a culture shock at the return to the 20th century. I think not.
Some folk are just tired.
But if we don't make the effort to transmit the vibrancy of the New Middle Ages, we will have no right to complain if our Society degenerates into a pedestrian costume club. Furnishings inside are blazoned to the Nth degree or are simply in the owner's colors. Only period items are visible. Mundane chairs are covered with a fake fur throw or piece of brocade. Coolers are similarly disguised.
