Someone Roman This Way Comes => CANCELLED
Lady Laelia sends her regrets that the Roman garb Q&A session “Someone Roman This Way Comes” on Saturday July 7 is cancelled. The lack of electricity at her home since the Mid-Atlantic storm rolled through last Friday has compromised her ability to prepare for class.
For those of you who sent RSVPs, she offers individual consults at her home before Pennsic if your schedules line up with hers. Please contact her at Laelia dot info at gmail dot com to schedule a time to meet with her.
Are you all counting down the days to Pennsic? I know I am!
