[Regia-NA] Marylanders

November.

   Very cool.  And it may not have been stock footage for the 
Arthur show, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it show up 
again as stock footage.  Let us know the next time you're on 
the screen (large or small).  Actually, I think there was 
mention on some mailing list I'm on (maybe this one) about 
the filming. 

   If you taped "Secrets of the Viking Warriors" you can see 
some footage of Regia -- we're the ones in the historically 
informed clothing -- along with footage (stock and otherwise) 
of furry re-enactors from somewhere else. At least they 
didn't have horns on their helmets.  Also, on Battlefield 
Detectives "Who Got Lucky at Hastings", prominent among the 
Regians you'll see Bill Tate (Leifr) playing William the 
Lucky Bastard ... I mean, William the Norman Oppressor ... 
uhhhh ... For those who don't know, Bill is the head of the 
Danelaw, the southeastern US Regia group that I'm in and Russ 
just defected from. (But we still love ya, Russ.)  

   Danelaw includes Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and 
Florida -- the perfect area to wear wool! Our focus is Anglo-
Danish, 9-10c. 
 
   I've been on the longship thrice. The most recent time, 
about 10 years ago, when I was in the band Connemara, you 
kidnapped us after a concert under the lighthouse (on 
Solomon's Island?).  The first two times, it was the 
old "longship", and we ran aground both times.  (Thank you, 
Sean Ruabarua! <cue flashback music>) And was it you (with 
Atli) I ran into at the Colonial Maritime Conference in St 
Mary's City, lo these many years ago?  "Cutting edge 
Colonial," said Atli, and "the scary thing is, they take us 
seriously."
