[MR] are you in a play?

[Ryan Matthews]

My favorite was the time I walked into a Convenience
store just outside Slippery Rock in my mundanes
(wearing a Gulf Wars Tee), and spotted a bunch of
SCAdians who were obviously new (no accoutrements,
polysuede garb, etc.), walked up to them and asked
"Are you in a Play?" and tried to contain my amusement
while I waited for them to either formulate their
response or notice what I was wearing....unfortunately
I couldn't and when I started to snicker they noticed
the shirt. :-D
