How time flies
Twenty-two years ago today I autocratted my first SCA event. I had been in the SCA for 4 months.
Actually, it was a co-autocrat position with the person who got me into the SCA. She had never autocratted either. We didn't even know we needed a marshal for the tourney!
The feast was pre-cooked. We cooked it at another person's house since we were both freshmen living in dorms with no kitchen.
The event had @30 people there, which was a reasonably decent size for local events back then. Now it's small if there are fewer than 100.
