Greetings to the Tavern!
 
I just read a book called the Pox and the Covenant, by Tony Williams, about an 
epidemic that hit Boston in the early 1700's.  The population of Boston was 
about 11,000 at the time, and was the second-largest city in England or its 
colonies (behind London).  (BTW - good book, well-written, *extensive* 
bibliography)
 
Pennsic will have about 11,000 folks attending.  Not making a point about plague 
conditions, just about relative population.  :)
 
Kinda makes you go, "Hmmm..."
