I'm sorry that you had to meet a stand-offish group.  In Caid (southern
California + Hawaii + New Zealand) the people tend to be rather friendly and
outgoing (like, we're all mellow on the west coast, man :->).  Perhaps you met
a splinter group, whose own goals may be different than those of the SCA as a
whole.

After all, one of our goals is to invite new people to join in the fun, the
dream if you will, since it is much more fun and educational with more people
who have the same goals.
