Thinking of various sorts of weapons and dress reminded me of the group
which performed at the SF con we had back in October. They are a group
who do staged combats using close to real weapons (I don't think they're

having way too much fun (though plenty of sweat with it). The group
leader got started when she was doing some work on her house and
discovered a Japanese sword.
