 Wow.  I'm trying to think of anything I do that would be salable and 
 period.  We'd been discussing a scheme to produce Roman Samian ware, 
 but that'd be too SCA-ish a time-frame to fit into a medieval village. 
 Cooking, perhaps?  I already tend toward open-fire cooking, as I 
 cooked the dinner for Da'ud's Islamic event over a charcoal fire. 
 (Not enough courses to really call a feast....)

 I'd show up for a week -- it actually sounds more like an extended 
 version of the ** Year Celebration.  I'd expect an explicit course 
 outline, as the teachers would also be SCA and I can't really imagine 
 the same thing every week.  Gee, it already sounds attractive....
