[Artemisia] TV shows - OT - Weirdo's

[Chuck Heisler Jr.]

Oh COME ON!!
   
  We ARE a bunch of weirdo's.  Just not in the MOST negative sense of the word.
   
  How NORMAL is it that I'm not comfortable camping unless I'm wearing brais?  Or that I drive around with my ARMOR in my trunk all the time.  I have more good medieval outfits than mundane outfits.  I have full Elizabethan, including ruff, but I don't own a suit. 
   
  Maybe YOU all don't consider that weird, but looking at it objectively, I'd say it was pretty odd at least.  :)   Don't tell me you all don't think that at least me and Therasia aren't more than a little strange.  Shoot, that list is long AND distinguished.
   
  Anyway . . . .

  I appreciate these comments, and I apologize if my original message sounded like I was trying to tell people that they could not participate if they chose to. I wrote my original message in haste, and realized that what I was trying to convey came across in another manner. 

My concern was that this production company has made a point of seeking out SCAdians. People that have dealt with them said that the production company intended to make the individual's SCA participation a main focus if they were on the show. And I really just did not want anyone to go into it unaware.

As I stated to someone who sent these same concerns to me off list - I really have no opinion if someone goes on a reality show and says "I participate in a medieval recreation group" or something to that effect. I have somewhat of an issue if that person goes on the show, and through their choosing or that of the producers of the show, and the SCA is portrayed as a bunch of wierdos or something similarly negative.

Again, my apologies for a poorly worded post. I sincerely only intended to look out for my fellow Artemisians and the reputation of the Society we all enjoy.

Take care,
Thea
