My first contact with the SCA was in college when I went home for a
wedding and was taken along with some friends to a post revel "sort of
party thing". This included a bonfire with lots of alcohol passed
amongst the guests, skinning dipping, some guy dancing in a loin cloth,
and the people I knew being called by different names. 
That was in 1984.
Although I later knew lots of other people in the SCA (one of my
roommates, in fact), I didn't check the SCA out again until 1990. This
time approaching it from the scholastic side, where I felt much more
comfortable!
