milord Mikal,
    what in the world is Bardic Costume? I also (like the troupe of Fools)
cannot attend - but would love to know what this one was about.

I tend to work the idiot end of the Bardic spectrum and once had to council
a newcomer not to wear their proposed persons'a costume. They were going to
be an early-period German fool, and I felt our group was not yet ready for
nudity, enlivened with excrement!

will there be a web page? perhaps hosted out of Columbia Missouri, so you
won't have been all that wrong!
