gotta do this survey

For the CW guys.. or I guess any period...

1st) What was your first event?
Uh, a little one down the the Napa Valley, a good ten years ago now.

2nd) What unit do you portray?
I'm a floater. I tend to go out with the people I know, and the most authentic group I can find... when they're around, I tend to go out with the 2nd US Regulars,

3rd) Do you have a First Person Impression?
Not really. Depends on what questions the public asks me.

4th) Are you a Hardcore, Mainstream, or a Farb Reenactor?
Definately hardcore...

5th) What Sutlers do you get your equipment from?
Wambaugh, Skillet Licker, Childes, etc...

6th) What type of tent do you use for events?
What's a tent?

7th) How often do you take hits?
Eh, an authentic number - Usually one, early on, and then I do a screaming wounded impression for the remainder of the battle before finally giving up the ghost, depending on where hit...

8th) If you answered yes to 7 what was the best hit you have taken?
Well I did a great shell shock impression a couple years back that still stands out in my mind - right by the public too. I had a ton of people ask if I was really ok...

9th) Do you carry your good in a cooler, or do you use your haversack?
Who uses a fucking cooler?

10th) Does the weather determine whether you go to an event or not?
Only pansys do that...

11th) Have you ever done an event in rain?
Many...

12th) What type of weapon do you use?
'47 Springfield - it's the only weapon to use ;-)

13th) Have you ever done a Living History?
I very much prefer those, there just aren't very many at all out here in Cali

14th) How many years have you been reenacting?
About 10 now... gads, no wonder I'm burnt out

15th) Did you start out reenacting as a company drummer?
THANKFULLY NO.
I carried a flag.

16th) Have you ever marched in a parade?
Dozens.

17th) Do you go into action wearing a full kit (kapsack/blanket roll, haversack, canteen, etc.)?
All the time. Who leaves kit behind to be raided by runners? The only time I don't wear marching kit is during battalion dress parade.

18th) Have you ever gone Polyester Hunting?
There's way more farb out there than just polyester...

19th) Can you sew your own garments?
Yeah, I'm pretty good with a needle and thread, and a hand crank...
