My daughter, Miriam Giant Slayer, was an Undergrad at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. They have an annual Sci/Fi,Fantasy,Anime,Geeky stuff convention and in March of 2014 she was on the staff... so she posted on our local FB page for folks to come up and help... of course the Family FitzRobert couldn't resist.
My Lord Husband, Ronan FitzRobert and I drove up to Troy NY for him to Fence & Fight, and me to Chatelaine. Baron Don Jean Xavier Boullaine and his Lady wife Baroness Gianetta also went up for the same reason... They were socially close with Miriam, and wanted to help her.
We spent the day fencing, schmoozing, helping folk try on chain mail and helm, heft weapons, hit a pell... Ronan also made an "Emergency Brisket" for Miriam (which she and her friends enjoyed for the next 2 days) and we had fun demonstrating our hobby to a bunch of our Target Audience... college kids and local Geeks/Nerds... we helped to Recruit for the local group (Anglespur) with no net gain for an Dubhaigeiann...except good will.... and a daughter's smile for her parents.
Totally Worth It.
