Well, I was never into the heavy fighting. We had a talented fencer who was try to train us all, but I mostly went to hang out with friends and the nighttime drinking, gypsies dancing around the fires, and the night time swimming.

I got out before the fencing became popular, and they had all the rules banged out, but I was a fencer outside the SCA...kinda. I had a group of friends who were more into the live steel fighting, so we used minimal protection and used the No.5 fencing blades. We slowly graduated to Starfires, during which time I began choreographing smaller sword fights (for the University's Madrigal Dinner). This eventually led to choreographing and directing an act for a local Ren Faire, which led to the unofficial creation (with another friend and the Drama department's costumer) of a Ren Faire production company. Between the three of us, we were able to do everything from the writing to the fighting...and had several shows in our "repetoire". It was fun while it lasted (about five years), but two of us went our separate ways in the real world.
We never partied like at SCA events, but we did have our fun. The few we actually camped out at, yeah, there were some incidents, and they did involve belly dancing...it sucks getting old!
Holding until you get back , Captain.

Or, worse yet, is played at your birthday by your father who insists on leading all the actions to a group of distinctly underwhelmed children who all blame you.
