Grex Rialto Item 38: Hailings from a far and Distant Land!
Entered by wavestar on Wed Apr 14 16:09:51 UTC 1999:

Greetings, Fair Lords, Ladies, sirs and madams:
I bring you greetings from the Shire of Caer CAledon in the Kingdom of
Drachenwald, from across the sea.  I thought I might look around Rialto and
see what the lovely people here are up to... to my dismayed surprise, it does
seem possible that you are all dead!  But in case you aren't... a few words.
I'm the Herald of our incipient Shire, (I'm sure many of you know of our
sister Shire in Toronto, Canton of Skeldergate) and I'm just passing through
offering friend;y greeting!  Also, an invitation, to those of you crazy enough
to go on a heck of a roadtrip, to our Beltaine Feast and Fayre, in May 1, in
St Andrews, Scotland!
So, if there is any life left here... greetings, salutations and anything else
you can think of. 
Iscah Fraser Ciella dar'Thay al'Qamariya, soon to be Herald of Shire of
Caer Caledon in the Kingdom of Drachenwald.

(and any of those who recognise me as wavestar... hello and greetings, its
been far too long.)

Hi!
Neat to hear from you; I'm currently a Cinnabarbarian, but came from the East,
parent-Kingdom to Drachenwald, and am looking to move to Toronto- at least
for the summer.
You may or may not realize that this is the "rialto" (SCA) conference of Grex,
a volenteer-run computer conferencing system in Ann Arbor, Michigan.  There
is also the "Rialto"- started on use.net YEARS ago as the world-wide computer
discussion center for the SCA.  Which were you looking for?

I'm sorry my family cannot join your for your event, I know we'd love the
trip.  Another year, perhaps. <g>

Greetings and Salutations, Wavestar; I am Fiacha of Whyte Whey [that would
be Manhatten, in Ostgardr].  Indeed, not all the SCAdians are dead on Grex,
though few of us post, it seems.

Mneme!  You live!  I've missed you.  And the Fantasy conf is dead and dormant
and sorrowful.  Come back?

Being a grexian of old, I was looking for an found this one, Kami... and its
a pleasure to meet you both.  
Kami:  if you're in the Toronto area for any Skeldergate events past this
summer, I would ask you to take greetings to some friends of mine there.. but
this is all speculation and hypothesis.  
It is good to see life, however... little of it though there may be :)

I may or may not make it to any events, will mostly be doing kid stuff, horse
stuff, and hanging out with friends- some of whom are SCA, so it is
possible...  Where did you wind up?
And do you know anyone in the Toronto area who might have a summer- sublet
for us? :{

I'm confused.. I have wound up here.  I'm afraid I don't know anyone in
Toronto this summer.. wish I coul help... but my friends won't be there until
September
.  Good luck!

Kami -- I've been around, and in and out.  But I've tried to help the
Fantasy Conf revivify, with no good effect. :(  Can try again, I guess.

A pleasure as well, Wavestar.

Now, if I can only get rid of this cough, I might be able to have fun
today.

Bibity, bibity boo- begon cough and ah-choo!    There, josh- did it help? <g>

#9 of 18 by mneme on Wed May 12 14:19:03 1999:

Maybe a little; still coughing, but differently.

#10 of 18 by kami on Fri May 14 02:23:51 1999:

Uh oh...<g>
Feel better, dear.

#11 of 18 by mneme on Fri May 14 16:28:00 1999:

Am, actually.  Don't like colds that aren't 100% cleared up after 12 days.
Re-reading The Forgotten Beasts of Eld, but that's a different conference.
Speaking of which, I posted a message in fantasy; how 'bout you?  I'll match
you message for message; want forum to -live-.

#12 of 18 by kami on Sun May 16 02:24:57 1999:

Yeah,that's a while.
Haven't thought of anything for Juvenile Fantasy books yet.

#13 of 18 by mneme on Sun May 16 15:01:42 1999:

You'll come up with something, I trust you.
Or start up a new item or two; 28 items is pretty anemic.

Just found this conf by just crusing the web.  Seems things really 
haven't changed in Cynnabar at all.  Kinda seems like this used to be 
the Cynnabar discussion list in the past.  This has also provided me 
with a look into Cynnabars past.  Not that things have changed much :-)

Hope to me some of you folks sometimes!

Sorry to have vanished for a while... trust you are all well in Cynnabar, and
everywhere else you are. What is this fantasy conference you discuss? Tell
me more...
Forgotten Beasts of Eld, exellent book.  One of the few I brought over the
waters with me, in this last yew.. (well, okay, itsn' tnot that few... but
I can hardly live without books, now can I?)

The fantasy confernce we were discussing was the one on Grex, called, aptly,
"fantasy".  Like many of the conferences on grex, it has hit on hard times
recently, but has recently had a few "live" threads (mostly on Mckillip and
young adult books); we would be very glad indeed of new blood.

#17 of 18 by kami on Fri May 28 04:31:44 1999:

Luveday, I'd really like to lure more Cynnabarbarians back to Grex.  This
conference could be useful, and save bandwidth in email if minor debates go
on here- where we're not all quoting pages of agreement, etc.

#18 of 18 by luveday on Sat May 29 15:20:02 1999:

Maybe I'll post to the group abut this and see what happens.  I think 
this would be a great idea!
