The Barony was well represented at our demo at PAX Unplugged this past weekend. Several members came out to support us and spend some time playing medieval games with the general public. While PAX doesn’t release official counts, last year’s estimates put the total attendance around 15-20,000 people, so we definitely got the word out there in a big way. Several SCAdians from around the world stopped by the booth and thanked us for being there, and we got an official shoutout from the SCA social media liaison on Twitter and Facebook, as well as a tweet from the PAX Unplugged official Twitter feed!
We had some great conversations with people who seemed interested in seeing what the SCA is all about, a lot of whom hail from surrounding kingdoms. Unfortunately there’s no way to tell how many of them decide to reach out to their local group, but I gave them my card and told them to email me so I can forward them to their chatelaine, so hopefully I get a couple contacts that way. We also gave out several paper game boards with contact information and our website on them, which a lot of people seemed to appreciate.
The lead coordinator for the show floor came by and gave us the unofficial invite back, saying he was so glad to see us represented and to see people at our booth pretty solidly the whole weekend! I took several notes about things to improve on, so next year we can have an even stronger presence. I couldn’t possibly have pulled the weekend off without the help of my Lord Cailin, Maistir Mael Eoin, His Excellency Aurddeilen, Lady Maryna, Lord Bryan, Lady Solveig, Lady Marie, Lord Istvan (and S!), Scholastica, Zach Hocker, and everyone who stopped by to say hi throughout the weekend!
