21st War of the Lilies

For those that don't know me too well, I do occasionally take time off from being an evil atheist out to thwart theists by pointing out their pseduoscientific nonsenese "theories" and engage in other hobbies. One of those hobbies is swordfighting as a member of the Society for Creative Anachronisms.

This hobby was the primary reason for my recent dry spell of posts (the secondary reason being there wasn't anything I felt like commenting on). Upon returning home from school, much of my time was spent preparing for the 21st War of the Lilies. I spent nearly 2 weeks at the sewing machine making myself a well dressed medieval gent. From there, I headed to the main event just north of Kansas City, for the main event. Five days were spent camping and on the field in armor in the midwest heat and humidity.

The friend that accompanied me took lots of pictures, and you can check out the whole gallery here. There's 153 pictures in there, so it might take awhile...
