[MR] pennsic independent

[M'lady Foxy]

I presonally thought this years war was more strained? then past altogether ...not sure if was war point thing or what but people seemed rude (had crutches knock out from under me 2 times at midnight madness ... needed a shield wall).. people seemed to have left earlier and strange feeling that the whole attendance numbers were fudged by the amount of empty camps.....anyone else feel this way?
