SCA Questions ('cause I won't call it a meme)

SCA Questions from [livejournal.com profile] attack_laurel by way of [livejournal.com profile] chargirlgenius:
1. What is your SCA name? (You don't have to write the full name, just your first name if you want.)
Michel Wolffauer - both parts can be dated to 1510 in Germany.

2. What is your home kingdom?
East Kingdom

3. Have you ever lived in another kingdom? If so, where?
Nope!

4. Do you remember your first SCA event? When/what was it?
Vaguely. It was some time around 1989-1990. It was in southeast PA or southern NJ. I seem to recall something at Beaver College and a Crown Tourney somewhere, but I don't recall which was first or if they were in fact the same event. ([livejournal.com profile] binsteaj you were there - help!)
Wish that historian would get the event list on-line so I could look these up.

5. Do you have any awards? (You don't have to list them if you don't want)
Yes, a few.

6. Do you list them after your name in communications like e-mail?
Never. I will sometimes list an office or a role I have to provide context to my post/message.

7. Do you have a device?
Yes. Argent, a wolf rampant per fess gules and sable. (See icon).

8. Do you use it? On what?
Yep - I have an LJ icon with it for SCA related posts, and when I remember to bring it I usually put up a banner with it wherever I set up.

9. Are you on all the kingdom/society lists available to you, or do you avoid them?
I'm on most all of them (and then some) except that I never got into following rec.org.sca.

10. Do you keep your Pennsic/Estrella/Gulf Wars/etc. site tokens?
Yes - in a drawer currently.

11. Do you keep the favours you've been given by royalty/friends/Sos, etc.? Do You wear them all?
Yes - same drawer. I will wear a new favor for a few months, but then I tend to put it away.

12. Do you call your friends by their SCA names even when you're not at an event?
Some of them. Depends which name of theirs sticks best in my head.

13. Do you go out to dinner in garb after an event?
Not very often. I'm more likely to eat feast, or get changed before going out to eat.

14. Do you have all kinds of garb, or do you generally stick to one period?
I have mostly generic garb, but I wouldn't mind moving towards a single period. Just never put in the time to figure out what I need to do.

15. How many interests do you have within the SCA? What's your favourite?
Oh so many - games, brewing, archery, fencing, heraldry. I'd have to say that games are my favorite.

16. Do you have an SCA-oriented web site (to show off projects, keep dress diaries, etc.)?
Nope, not really.

17. Do you maintain a hairstyle that is more period style than modern? How about any other part of your appearance?
Heh. No, I don't think so.

18. Do you tell "No $###, there I was" stories? (Admit it.)
I do, but I usually have to be reminded about them somehow - I can't just bring them to mind.

19. Authenticity is Fun. Yes or no?
Yes. Or more accurately, it can be Fun - all depends on how you go about it and the environment in which you pursue it (supportive or not).

20. Is there one modern thing at events that really bugs you?
My shoes. Like my garb, I've not gotten around to figuring out what I need to do to get/have proper shoes.

Bonus Question! 21. Everyone has a shameful garb/accessory mistake hidden somewhere in their past. What's yours? (We're all friends here, we promise not to laugh. Much.)
Nope! No hidden mistakes - all mine are out in the open where everyone can see them.
