Friends and neighbors,

Tomorrow I'm taking my kids to a big karate tournament.  The dojo where they
study also offers a bit of kendo.  I'm sure the tourney will have a vendor
hall.  

It occurs to me (too late) that this might be a good venue for an SCA booth.
Many of our fighters have studied other martial arts, after all.  It
wouldn't have to be fancy.  Just lay out some nice arms and armor, and run a
90-second video over and over:

FULL CONTACT!! (big headline)

UN_SCRIPTED!!

1000 MAN TEAMS!!!

FEASTING!

DANCING!

RULE BY RIGHT OF ARMS
[video of Crown tourney/coronation]

..and so on.

Has anyone here ever done a demo at a martial arts tournament?  How did it
go?

Your servant,

Charles Fleming
