callistotoniA lunchtime post and inquiry. ;-)

ppfuf and learnteach's 14th C cook playdate (see http://ppfuf.livejournal.com/26862.html), I'm organizing a little 14th C playspace. My question is this: What do people want this to include? Possibliites might be any combination of the following:
-- It's a tournament, after all, and that's pretty darn 14th C. We could work with this: Ladies gallery, fighter/consort support, 14th C pagentry central, ???- just brainstorming here.
-- Storytelling, a la The Decameron or the Canterbury Tales. Pick a story and tell it in your own fashion. Read outloud to the cooks.
----I've wanted to talk about Patient Griselda, the last tale in the Decameron. Group discussion? Could tell the tale on the site and then talk about people's reactions, as well as how it was recieved in period.
-- Music? I'm clueless on this score, but could ask around (you know who you are, you really do...)
-- Games. Not as much documentation available as with the 16th C, but there is some. Cards are introduced very late in the century, BTW.
-- Virtue discussion, possibly on What is the Virtue Most Applicable to both Cooks and Fighters? ;-)
-- Book Day of Sharing: Assuming the weather's good, bring your 14th C appropriate books to let people look at for the day, kinda like we did at that Collegium a few years back.
Any other ideas?
I'm thinking I'll set up the new 14 x 14 sunshade, but not camp, myself.
