Tue, January 8, 2008 - 10:09 AMIf I showed up at a party in a loincloth, the party would be over very, very quickly. 12,000 people fleeing Cooper's Lake in terror.

Thu, January 10, 2008 - 7:31 PMThere haven't been any movies to emulate yet this year. I say we return to our roots and have a "Holy Grail" themed party.

Re: new party themes...
Fri, January 11, 2008 - 5:39 AMHate to say it, but MPATHG (1975) is way after the origin of the SCA, not to mention Pennsic.
Now, "Vikings" (1958) or "Ivanhoe" (1952) would be good themes under that criteria. -

Re: new party themes...
Fri, January 11, 2008 - 6:12 PMMight as well play "Pin the Tail on the Tuchux"
or
"Come as your own hostage" -

Re: new party themes...
Sat, January 12, 2008 - 10:02 AMhow about a "bring your own hostage" party? there are folks interesting enough to want to be traded around. if a hostage is traded unwillingly, they get compensated in some way (beer, chocolate)? if you don't bring a hostage, you don't get in.
another way to play this would be as a fund-raiser, in the manner of a slave auction. but that's been done so many times, it's more fun to call it "bring your own hostage" -and ugly people look better by torch/beer light.

Sat, January 12, 2008 - 9:58 AMi believe loincloth counts as "men without pants..." doesn't it? and as your friend mentions, there are many people we just don't want to see in loincloths. (see, for example, The Classic)

Re: new party themes...
Sat, January 12, 2008 - 7:08 PMI tried to talk our camp into hosting a king of the gypsies party. Anyone who wished to compete to be king or queen of the gypsies would bring wine, food, and or entertainment to share with all the other guests. We'd then reward the most generous contestant the title until the following year.
I also thought a carnival procession around Pennsic at dusk would be fun. Various camps could make floats which they would pull or carry. We'd eventually wend our way back to camp and the party would begin in earnest. Basically the biggest most ornate amoeba you have ever seen. -

I know that Monty Python doesn't pre-date Pennsic or the SCA. However, I think that it's close enough to Pennsic I (1972) to be from the same era, and it does pre-date the current incarnation of Pennsic at Cooper's Lake, (Pennsic VI).
I think it would be a blast either way.
Besides, it's probably more historically accurate than "Vikings".
(Before you even say it, I know that MPATHG is loosely based on the Aurthur "legend" and so isn't historical at all)

Re: new party themes...
Sun, January 13, 2008 - 9:05 AMSo was MPATHG derivative of Pennsic, since it came after? (Some say "Knightriders" - 1981 was about SCA {and the MSR spinoff}, but when asked, the director (G. Romero) said it was not.)
That would make Bravefart derivative (especially since everything but the story line has been exposed as bunk) and others as well.
Still, I love a good story.
Maybe what we need is a "Predict the next Legendary Plotline or Story" party?
(The "I'm so BLONDE!" parties are SOOOO-uninspiring these days. Anybody can get loaded. Can you do it with unforgettable style and elagance? "You're so drunk that I LOOK GOOD?") -

Sun, January 13, 2008 - 8:44 AMClearly, the old tale of the true "King of the Gypsies" is unknown to you...
It all began when the elders of the town found a Gypsy camp on the road right outside of town. "You must leave!" they commanded...
That's how it all began.
(Besides that, everybody knows that Gypsies don't float. They're landless landsmen, the original "hydromatic mountaineers", just shiftless hillbillies.)

Tue, February 5, 2008 - 1:53 PMi like it !!!
and i like the idea of a dress as a god/goddess party... : )
how about a come as a household god? in the olden days we used to believe in household gods that would take care of things like making the bread rise or making sure that cheeses set, or making sure the fermentation of alcohol is working out...
its just like the idea that fey creatures look after flowers...
we still do believe in these things... we just don't usually think of them in currant terms...
i still have those gremlins hanging about... : )
