Hi Mey,
I saw you posted in the other thread from today, so I assume you saw my post there? Also, going to guess it was you posting on the Wavehaven Facebook group just a little bit ago. Most of Amtgard related communications is done on Facebook nowadays, so most of the forums here are rather stale now. The forums are still our best option for archiving important information (like Althings, BoD minutes, event information, etc.) so they continue on.
But just to reiterate for sake of completeness: Ashen Spire is still defunct, but Wavehaven still meets weekly unless there's a major event happening in CA. Saturdays at Brommer Street Park in Santa Cruz, from around noon to around two-to-three. We've got loaners and knowledgeable weapon crafters if you wanna come swing and talk foam. Your other options on this side of the Bay Area are Wyvern's Spur in Berkeley, Aureus Saltus in Martinez, and Belial Peaks in Brentwood.
With how hard it has appeared to be to get Ashen Spire re-functional, I feel like it might be best if, were you wanting to try and get Amtgard going again up in the Silicon Valley, you were to start from complete scratch. Trying to build upon previous members and resources has so-far resulted in no lasting success.
