[Cynnabar] Last-Minute Demo Request - NEXT WEEK

[Martha Krieg via Barony]

I responded directly to Rachael Hoffenblum, and went over to the daycamp 
for about 2 hours. Took almost all my Western European garb, from Viking 
through Elizabethan; arrived dressed in sideless surcoat, showed the 
rest of the things. Passed around the pieces of the Elizabethan, which 
of course made them want me to put it on. So I used the sideless surcoat 
outfit as the shift, omitted the corset (for lack of time), and popped 
everything else on...  Also had a drop spindle and my lace pillow with me.

There is a nine-men's morris board on line that I printed, together with 
the rules, and I made a grid of 48x48 Excel spreadsheet cells. Printed 
on two colors of paper, gave each girl a strip of each color and let 
them tear them apart for the tokens (a tiny plastic bag to take both 
colors home means they could play at home, too). Everybody learned, some 
even got as far as flying!

Didn't get to the music I had brought on the iPad, but they are in a 
former car dealership and the acoustics are absolutely awful, so not too 
much loss.

Thought it went over well for just me, and something I put together in 
just a couple of days.
