I will do my best to make an appearance on the 17th in one guise or another (though the daytime demands of real life will impose some limitations.)
Court Roleplay in SL
General Discussion
I had forgotten about that pickled liver of yours, Sir Mansur! In Antiquity, we used to use a previous iteration of the George Tavern, with an open street-front on the main dock, in the same way - with the luxury of dedicated bar staff, rather than barflies, in the role of greeters. That's how I became engaged myself: I wandered past, I was greeted and I was offered a drink and kind IC conversation. Finding that bar staff or barfly who's willing just to hang around for hours a day is the challenge, of course; the semi-scheduled Bath setup proved a useful way to fill part of the gap.

Lovely to be located by the sailable seaside! I will have to pop over to see how it looks in its new position.

I hope the old goats found a good new home, or at least a competent butcher.
End of Summer Vacation in Bath
Communty News & Events
Our weekend in Bath was lovely, and our guests added a good deal to the general enjoyment. I must apologize for missing the morning coffee hosted in the hotel garden by La Rocca Sorrentina although my friend the Marchioness of Hertford tells me that discussion was, as always, scintillating. Lady Hertford, of course, is quite pleased that she had His Royal Highness's arm through most of the ball, and that she has a most desirable new acquaintance, Song, the lady of Sir Mansur Marawi of the Larl Valley. The music of Maestro Horus Cedrus, of course, was an important part of the ball's success.
I am told that the equestrian community was invigorated by their forest ride, and that the spa afternoon at Bath's famous baths was delightful.
We may be inviting all of you back to Bath on the evening of Oct. 27th and day of Oct. 28th, when Hallowe'en events (not quite part of Bath's RL history, but a good deal of fun) are being planned. Children in particular are encouraged to come for trick-and-treating, but adults will also find much to enjoy.

Renaissance Hunt in September
General Discussion
I want to recommend the Shops of Mountain Rose minihunt. They've elected to showcase not the Renaissance period in Europe, but rather Aztec civilization in Mexico right before the Renaissance Spanish arrived. It makes good historical sense from the perspective of theme - Riches of the Renaissance - because of course, the surge in riches experienced by Spain, Portugal, France, and the United Kingdom during the last century of the Renaissance were in no small part the early fruits of colonization and conquest in the New World.
Mountain Rose has created a little Aztec city that clearly benefits from research, really a delight for the historically-minded to explore even if you aren't interested in hunting per se.
Renaissance Hunt in September
General Discussion
Perryn Peterson is soliciting participant merchants (and communities) for this fall's Renaissance Hunt. This historically-themed hunt is an excellent chance to showcase your estate and RP, especially if you and your group have the energy and time to create a selection of prizes for a minihunt.
This year's theme is "Riches of the Renaissance" - lots of room for invention, if you delve back into the history underpinning your SL historical build!

And the SLURL for the launch, and the exhibit which will be there for an extended period, is http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Antiquity%20Texas/203/132/2002
In addition to the Victoria Room, you will find five additional rooms holding the Antiquity Crown Jewels of several courts and periods, and an additional exhibit of wedding portraits (and therefore clothes) through the four centuries prior to Victoria.
