Criticism is the only known antidote to error.  David Brin

What a nation has done, a nation can aspire to.
Dr. Jerry Pournelle

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as "bad luck."
---Robert Anson Heinlein

There is going to be a shoot there that weekend?  Will we also have a booth there?  I found the reenactors at the Raid at Martin's Station last weekend were quite open to Appleseed.
For Liberty, each Freeman Strives
As its a Gift of God
And for it willing yield their Lives
And Seal it with their Blood

Thrice happy they who thus resign
Into the peacefull Grave
Much better there, in Death Confin'd
Than a Surviving Slave

This Motto may adorn their Tombs,
(Let tyrants come and view)
"We rather seek these silent Rooms
Than live as Slaves to You"

Lemuel Haynes, 1775

No shoot, large (@500) re-enactors gathering with 35,000 people drifting through over the weekend all next to the George Rogers Clark Memorial.

Let's just say the crowd should be pre-disposed to a good Story...

All,

Here's the updated schedule, Yellowhousejake will be giving all 3 strikes of the match twice each day - 10-11 and 2:30-3:30.  We'll also have a shady spot all day for folks to come by and talk about the program. The Rendezvous typically has 10,000 plus attendees each day so YHJ has a large potential audience.
