Oh! And also!

Ivan's brother Jeff (or, I guess, Geoffrey) is coming to his first Pennsic this year and staying for five days. He got involved in the SCA mostly because of fencing and currently has exactly one set of garb. We're also hoping that perhaps he'll be able to meet a nice, annonomous, not-crazy girl at Pennsic.

We'll be providing his tent, and his food, but we tried yesterday to make him a list of other stuff he might need for a five day stay at Pennsic.

What are your standard suggestions for very-new people for their first Pennsic? What wisdom of yours (packing list related or general) can we share with him?

There is no ICOD show this year. Don't you have a servant you can have save you seats? The Pennsic shows are consistently amongst our best.

If I had a servant would I be cooking my own meals over an open fire? Life on campaign is rough when you've been taken along as a camp follwer by the Rus....
