Ha, ha, there's no escape for <em>you</em>, since we have a lot of conferring about JAMS to do. Is Martin Wieland or Sander going to come?<br>

Hey, should I dress up for the Archaeon? Just promise not to laugh at my initial efforts at something approximating accurate Roman woman's dress -- I haven't hand stitched, and it's not going to be wool or linen. Will I be lampooned and mocked out of the Archaeon if I show up wearing my first efforts?<br>

All right then, if I can make it (it's really a working vacation for me this time) I will bring the kit and will probably be able to work up the nerve to wear it for the first time in public...<br>

Salvete Omnes,<br>
Sure Jenny, you can come in anything you want.<br>
We’ve got so many people in costume one more won’t even be noticed.<br>
Except of course when she is wearing exceptionally beautiful dress.<br>
The other day we had a visitor dressed as a proper Celt.<br>
No wonder, he was a Celtic re-enactor.<br>
We did the only logical thing; we asked him to join the show, what else.<br>
<br>
Anyway here are the specifics for the dinner.<br>
For who were there before it’s the same place as last year.<br>

<br>
thank You for the pictures - what a nice society. It would be interesting if You could undertitle the pictures and tell us who is who (no official names of course, just the R.A.T.-names )<br>
<br>
The only one I can identify is the second man from left on the first photo, I think it is the same that on the new Archaeon photos is representing the late Roman guards man and is looking very, very serious.<br>

Guys, I'm sorry I couldn't be there to offer a bit of female companionship. Things are hard here at home. Glad you all had fun -- maybe I can make it next year.<br>

Tsk, Tsk...<br>
And not one of you dressed as a Roman!<br>
I remember when we have dinner at some Tarragona restaurant and we hang our swords from the clothes rack!<br>
