I will be attending this event, and was wondering if I would be joined by any others at this spectacular event. The castle siege at Gulf wars is unlike any other I have fought before. You can actually scale the walls!
Gulf Wars 2007...

Not really ready or prepared, but ...

Should you need a place to camp and a warm meal, Kitemitsu would gladly accomodate you Otagiri-sama. I have extra tents, sleeping bags, chairs, a welcome campfire, and a nice bottle of Sake should you need. The doors of Kyuden Kitemitsu stand open.
It is a beautiful event site. Plenty of shade, and clean air. Great people and atmosphere, and the battles are enough to keep any Bushi quenched in the honor of many a bloody death.
I implore all of those who have not yet been afforded the priviledge to attend Gulf Wars to make time one year and check it out.

A very generous offer, Kitemitsu-dono.
I hope to experience that hospitality first hand.
We'll see how the wheel of fortune turns ...

I will be there =) but alas this persona will be staying at home the thought of dragging my uchigi and hakama through the Mississippi dirt and/or mud doesnt sound very appealing at the moment hehe. I may take ONE set of Japanese stuff though, we'll see how much room is in the tubs. I'll be in the Ansteorra encampment SOMEWHERE with the Barony of the Eldern Hills. My middle eastern persona will be the one out and about the most. I would LOVE to get the chance to meet up with some of you!!

There are not very many asian personas at Gulf Wars, so I can understand your desire to dress differently. I have noticed a distinct difference in the appreciation and acceptance towards asian personas since I have moved to the East coast. But all in all, nothing too burdening. It would be an absolute pleasure to run in to any fellow Tousando members. I will be camping with the Consortium of Meridies. I'm easy to spot on the battlefield as well as I am often among the tallest out there. A 7 Foot tall Bushi is a rare sight indeed.  I invite all to seek out my camp and enjoy a delightful cup of Sake at my expense. -Kitemitsu Takeda |

I have noticed a distinct difference in the appreciation and acceptance towards asian personas since I have moved to the East coast. But all in all, nothing too burdening. I really have no problems with my area of the kingdom in reguards to my Japanese persona, in fact I generally have received good feedback on it and the fact Im portraying in a correct manner. I just also dance, and there are alot of interesting m.e. dance classes being offered at GW, so it just made more sense for my Middle Eastern persona to do most of the attendance =) I actually in general tend to hear more negative tones about us "bellydancers" in reguards to the sca, sure there are plenty of the burningman types out there, but there are those of us that do what research is possiable on it as well. |

 I'll probably arrive mid-day Monday and take off that night (and maybe one or two other nights) to visit my mom down in Pescaloga. This means that Lilies, Pennsic, and GWW are now all on my schedule for the year. The Grand Melee Grand Tour 2007! |
