Restart Amtgard in LA area attempt #2

Postby Beboman » Wed Sep 18, 2013 11:58 am

so on the recommendation of a few people i am again going to try and get amtgard going again in the LA area, I have been working with the school PCC to get permition to play out on the front yards to get some great publicity, the idea here is that ill take as many people as i can and go out and start playing, in the hopes people will see and want to walk up. the more people i have the better this will work. So anyone who has any suggestions on how i could also get things rolling again it will help a lot, try and do it better then last time.

there are not any in LA anymore, they all died, the closest one is in San Diego and as much as i love to swing swords around im not willing to get a ride 2h away just to do it each week. so this is my second try to get this going. im taking a new approach.

I believe Etah was asking about individual amtgarders who still live in the LA area. They are, presumably, not dead.

Just do it dude. Get 2 or 3 shields, make a dozen or so sticks, grab friend and go hit each other at a public park with plenty of visibility and foot traffic.

Don't even worry about paper work until later, when you have a few people that come out to the park reliably each week. You should also think about just using version 8 rules right away so your membership isn't confused by the change over next year.

the only issue is that the best place to do it is on a college campus and i need to get permition for that. which im almost done getting, as far as making a whole bunch of new swords and such, that takes money, so im working out a deal with my parents to somehow earn money from them so i can get the things i need. and if there is anything iv learned while watching others do this, you only get 1 first impression so i have to make sure its a good one, any conflict with the campus wouldn't look good.

If you need nice sword covers for your planets, and not socks or stockings, let us know, we may be able to mail you a dozen covers and Palmdale with "loaner" or something On them. Also check with Uranaga about Amtgard funds for reimbursing some of the relaunch costs.

Send me a picture of weapons ready for cover and if I have the fabric, I will only ask for postage. If you want a special color or pattern I'll ask for cost of materials.

Which chapter are you trying to restart? Crimson Sanctum or Eldritch Hills? I think you should try to base the sword covers off whichever park's colors.

Look on the bright side! It gives you a chance to get loaners together, contact old members, maybe make a few tabards, ya know, prepare.
