I must say, medieval conference blogging is significantly stranger then the early modern conference blogging they do at BtR ...

ReplyDeleteThat's what I get for commenting before coffee.
Stranger, agreed. But more fun as well, we hope.
ReplyDeleteThe Tiny Shriner is a handsome little man. Too bad he can't hold his booze. I had a brief mental image of drinking him under the table like Karen Allen in Raiders. It was amusing.
