I wish superstitions worked
because then I could improve likelihoods of good things just by not walking under ladders or shooting magpies or something. Much easier than all this slap dash business with guessing motives and unexpected consequences

Are they a niche species of bird that live in libraries or sutin?

is this that horrible phenomenon where fat women squeeze in to corsets that are far too small for them,
and end up with that unfortunate look where flesh seems to sort of, spill out of every gap in fabric. Like a ballon wrapped in rubber bands being inflated?

cool
worth doing, someone I know does it. Buy in bottles of mead (Moniak) alongside the beers and things and you will do a roaring trade. Larpers drink A LOT.

Oh and points for getting your staff to dress up, the one that comes to the big events has them all in monk habits

I might consider it.
What do they drink? Am I going to have to sort out gas and coolers and all sorts of shit for lager, or can i rock up with a few barrels of decent beer and some old scrumpy and just flog it?
( Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Mon 10 Sep 2012, 17:31, Reply)

add mead to that
and that would probably do. I know some do things on tap and the like, but it depends on the system/what they are used to. larp events range from small ones of a 100 or so to the Gathering which has a few thousand

Mead tastes horrible.

( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Mon 10 Sep 2012, 17:35, Reply)

then you are drinking the wrong mead

there are many types
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Mon 10 Sep 2012, 17:37, Reply)

Whichever ones I have had on the past have always tasted too sweet.

( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Mon 10 Sep 2012, 17:39, Reply)

those are the most common ones
usually you get them on christmas markets. Moniak is much drier and makes you drunk and giggly very quickly

look, cavy, i hate to break it to you,
but mead really is shit.
( Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Mon 10 Sep 2012, 17:50, Reply)

i was going to post a long thing about how mead is made these days,
and anything you get either bottled, or that has a use by date is not mead. but then my browser crashed due to all the fat corset porn i'm wanking over and now i can't be bothered.
