Article on the aging SCA membership

[callistotoni]

Apparently this is not just a Western problem. I think the idea of posting on Craigs List is interesting. My gut feel is that, around here, there would be a fear of such a posting (a la "We want to stay safe by not inviting any crazy-types"). But people have to know the SCA is an option, so is it so dangerous to publicize? Or do we believe that "Those that want to find the SCA will"?

WORD. (Aside from the fact that I am not a member.)

Is this just the West? I don't know. But it feels very insular, & the utter lack of a reliable, up-to-date, useful, friendly, interactive online network sure doesn't help.

Not just there. I've tried more than once to find out about the local SCA with very little luck. I even talked to some members in person at the Ren Faire and didn't find out much useful information.

I think Trystan knows this, but for those of you who don't, I'm in Illinois.
