The Living History Podcast covered this topic back in Aug (2010) with a show entitled <a href="http://livinghistorypodcast.com/?p=207" rel="nofollow">Show Stoppers</a>.<br /><br />Additionally, they had the opportunity to give their impression of reenacting as a member of the public in <a href="http://livinghistorypodcast.com/?p=286" rel="nofollow">Being the Public</a> this past July. It's very interesting to be on the other side of the rope-line listen the public's impression. They are more critical of modern items than the self-apologizing reenactors think they are!Gobaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04756565158489264024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56451385109293718.post-48691887168135983292011-11-21T18:33:05.744-05:002011-11-21T18:33:05.744-05:00Thanks so much everyone.

I bring my phone with me to events, but it's off and in my tent during the day-I only check it at the end of the day, after the public has left. Everything else, except my camera, stays home.<br />I wish more people would understand that it IS a big deal to us when people do things like that. Sure, it's partially about sleeping under the stars and drinking with your friends, but there's a time and place for that, and it's not in the middle of an event. I play a male soldier, and I try to remain that way as long as I'm in uniform. I consider it an honor when someone calls me a guy-it means I'm doing my job right!<br /><br />Another great post, as usual!PvtSam75https://www.blogger.com/profile/00304945310687112481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56451385109293718.post-21702488183535575242011-11-20T23:36:37.345-05:002011-11-20T23:36:37.345-05:00Glad you got that off your chest, lol!

It's like somebody talking behind you in a movie theatre, and you can't get lost in the movie with that going on. Good for you for putting your foot down.<br /><br />And you always take such lovely photos! I'm sure your photography skills are intertwined with your knowledge of what looks authentic, so you are able to capture only the purest of scenes, which leads to amazingly authentic portrayals.<br /><br />-PamPam of Eastlake Victorianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18149348967860577425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56451385109293718.post-58619333187633724982011-11-20T22:42:45.207-05:002011-11-20T22:42:45.207-05:00Here, here!
