Where: MIT, room 14N-304
When: Saturday the 9th of January, 2:00 pm until whenever
All are invited to the Mitgaard Library! Bring yourselves and your books (periodicals, fliers, postcards, etc of interest to SCAdians) to Mitgaard for a quiet day of reading other people's personal libraries, and sharing your own collection. You are invited to bring munchies; there is an adjoining kitchen for food. Please make sure you label all of your books with your name(s) before bringing them. The room is over the MIT Music Library, and next to the MIT Humanities and Science Libraries, and they all will be open during this time for more formal research. The autocrat is Lady Rouxandra Mihail.
The Castle at Mitgaard
Where: MIT, Walker Memorial (50-100), Morss Hall (first floor)
When: Monday, the 18th of January, Martin Luther King Day, 10am to 6pm
All of the Barony of Carolingia and all her Boroughs are invited to winter a day at Mitgaard; a blizzard has snowed us in and we must pass the time with those chores we have to prepare for the warmer days ahead. Bring your favorite projects to work on, or if you have a craft which you would like to learn, please contact the autocrat. Feel free also to bring games and indoor amusements. There will be some light refreshments.
This is not an official event, but please do come in garb. This event is something of an experiment, and while the modern tools of our crafts are welcome at this gathering, we would like something of the feel of an event to remain, in much the same way as a university or collegium manages to be an sca event. Unlike a university or collegium, there will be no formal classes, but should you wish to learn a certain craft, the autocrat would be glad to try to find someone who could instruct you at the Castle. Likewise, if you would enjoy teaching the craft you are planning on doing at the Castle, consider yourself invited to bring extra materials for others.
If you have any questions about what kinds of crafts are acceptable to the site, please see the autocrat. The site is not wheelchair accessible. Enclosed flames, but only enclosed flames, are permitted. The site is dry. There will not be changing rooms. The restrooms we have to share with the rest of the building; we will not be the only people in the building. There is no site fee, but an RSVP would be appreciated for head-count reasons. The autocrat is Lady Tibicen Blackmane, dagoura@athena.mit.edu.
