	* That fall, I was going to go to Sam Houston State University, and someone said they thought there was some SCA there. I had a t-shirt made up, a black tee with white, with “SCA” printed across the top, and a big golden astrolabe across the belly. I was actively looking - advertising! - promoting and looking for the SCA.		* That fall, I was going to go to Sam Houston State University, and someone said they thought there was some SCA there. I had a t-shirt made up, a black tee with white, with “SCA” printed across the top, and a big golden astrolabe across the belly. I was actively looking - advertising! - promoting and looking for the SCA.

	* Every weekend, we would go out to the Texas Renaissance Festival in garb with the rest of the shire and recruit. We were allowed to have a tiny little hut to store armor in. Later, they were allowed to build a larger building. There was kind of a symbiotic relationship between the Texas RenFaire. There was a liaison between the SCA and the faire - Telburne and Janet of House Morningstar - that we worked with. There was another lady who was very nice - Lady Melusine ~~Nightcroft~~ the Petite. Because we had such a close relationship, pretty much everyone who was anyone in Ansteorra was there. I'd say we had between 50 - 200 people at the RenFaire each weekend. We operated sort of like on-site security, and were good at helping out if some of the patrons got intoxicated. This went on through the eighties. (The SCA was permitted to run three events at the RenFaire site. We had a little village there. We did King of the Log, Fight The Knight, and Skittles - it became a form of fundraiser. In the compound, we would do arts and sciences demos and rapier combat. In one of the buildings that we built, there was crash space for folks to rest and also guard the items we had stashed there.)		* Every weekend, we would go out to the Texas Renaissance Festival in garb with the rest of the shire and recruit.

	* Back in those days, we were trying, well, anything. Building an experience out of whole cloth. Back then, you couldn't buy armor. Guys would go out and find carpet remnants, and cut holes out of it, and duct tape it around their bodies. Another fellow came up with basket armor, and used the metal bands to weave together to build armor. There were chrome hubcaps from European cars, turned into bucklers. People were so creative and brilliant, engineering things. There were Frisbee bucklers for fencing. I witnessed them making the first boffer dagger, and weapons that were for tavern fights, such as the turkey leg boffer, and the boffer tankard!		* Back in those days, we were trying, well, anything.

	* Towards the first part of 1980-ish, there was a fellow named ~~Dormouse~~, who was a student of Don Tivar Moondragon (1). I found him accidentally; his room mate was in my English class, and mentioned that his roommate had a sword... He had a swashbuckling persona. At the time, we needed three people to make a shire. I thought I'd go ahead and do the seneschal, and he could be Knight's Marshal. He had just acquired a girlfriend, and there was the room mate, too... Within about 6 months, I found a fellow and his girlfriend - Zorkon and Gwyn. Gwyn was originally from France, and had this wonderful culinary background. We decided to put a feast together! My studies were getting pretty heavy at the time, so I asked Dormouse to take Seneschal, and said I could take the job of Herald. He said he would do so. His roommate stepped up to Knight Marshal, and Zorkon helped. We got a huge trash can, filled it with wine and spices, and tossed several chickens in there. We marinated them for three days. We were going to cook them on a grill, with other items for feast. It started raining! So we hung a tarp over where the grill was, and where we were preparing things. I was quartering chickens there, in the rain, with a double sided Gerber knife. I think there was something like 50 to 75 people at that event, so we went through lots and lots of chicken. That's how I got the nickname of Chickenslayer! (1) Tivar, at that time, was in the process of developing the first handout for rapier combat in Ansteorra. Everything was pretty loose at that time - there wasn't a lot of tight rules, let me put it that way. Not a lot of Peerages. Everyone kind of mingled nicely. There was no wall between the peerages and the populace, just a tight camaraderie)		* Towards the first part of 1980-ish, there was a fellow named [[Hans Durrmast Von der Wanderlust]], who was a student of Don Tivar Moondragon (1).

	* In the early 1980s, there were so many wonderful songs being written and performed. There was so much cross pollination with the SciFi/Fantasy cons, so those songs were coming out of the filking communities. Performing during different courses at feast - the whole crowd would get involved. The after-hours parties were spectacular, too!		* In the early 1980s, there were so many wonderful songs being written and performed.
