- Unto the good folk of the Rialto from Landi Haraldsson, greetings!

-
- TI>> Inapposite analogy. The SCA is, in effect, one "locality", due to

- >> travel long distances, and (c) move around during life. Most SCA

- I'm going to have to agree with Tadhg on this one. (Sorry, Tadhg.
- I'll try not to do it too often. :-) Too many of my friends have
- moved (from Atlantia) to places like Caid, Midrealm or Outlands.
- The seneschal of my shire, and the seneschal of the soon-to-be
- incipient canton nearby, are both from Outlands. From where I sit,
- the SCA qualifies as one big locality. Besides, I'd really like to
- make it to Pennsic again, or one of the other big gatherings (is
- there going to be a Thirty Year Celebration?) and I'd like to be
- able to tell my friends to look for my banner without worrying
- about the possible dozen or so other banners with the same device...
