I did attend SCA for a few months.

But you wouldn't know it from this scene. The King looks like Elvis because... I thought it would be funny... even though it TOTALLY RUINS the bit about "being period." Oh, God. Why not put the Duke in Daisy Dukes too, and have Kath the Queen dressed up as Frank N. Furter?

Still, the preoccupation with "period" is accurate, which made me wonder who decided to call it a society for creative ANACHRONISM. The restless jockeying for position is fairly accurate too, at least in my experience, and it was why I didn't spend more time there.

It's really, um, convenient that Kath runs into two people who have heard about her and care about her status at an international convention, to say nothing of finding a pair of Thack glasses just in time to do her little demonstration.

And yet this is Kath's whole plan, to the degree it qualifies as a plan at all: take control of the Thack-drones as they threaten the order of things, then take all the credit. Have I mentioned yet that Rikk is better at thinking on his feet?
