M'Lady Softness,
I hope your knee (and the rest) is better and you will be able to attend the event again soon. Pennsic sounds and looks so wondrous, however, I don't know if I could stand the humidity you have there though. It must be more than a little frustrating for you. So near and yet so far. I love to see the photos

For anyone wondering, this is an almost all around view of what happens at a war. Pennsic is one of the biggest.
