Well, I know one place you can shop your heart out...but it is the same
weekend as garb wars...although, since you live in town, you can do both.
And they don't care if we descend upon them in garb. So we can have the best
of all our worlds in a weekend.

The Mid-Atlantic Traditional Classic will be held May 14-16 at the Baltimore
Bowman archery range.  Its off of harford rd. Let me know if you need
directions or want to go. That is where I will be doing my shopping. There
