yes, she is one of mine.
and I am glad you ran into her blog as My wife keeps forgetting to send me the link! and I have as yet to read from it. She is from new Hampshire and a law student. she sews and is a general all around good person with talents and a old new england work ethic, her boyfriend who just compleated Law school and is currently working at General Dynamics is also a member, tween the two they ahve added a new younger dimension to the 15th along with an other young couple who are attending university here in Farmington....Good kids all and something to give me a modicum of hope for the future.......

New to the Experience
Hello! I'm the "mystery blogger" from the 15th Alabama. I started the blog because I wanted to share my re-enacting experiences with family and friends scattered throughout the states. I'm glad you like it. "Captain Chainfire" alerted me to your regards so I came over and joined the forum! I am trying to be as accurate as possible, but as this is my first season re-enacting if I get something wrong, please e-mail me and let me know, I can quickly fix it. I really do enjoy re-enacting and look forward to next season when I will be able to participate without having to worry about school! I am completely hooked and there are so many nice people that I have met! I wish I had started doing this sooner! You guys are awesome!
Welcome Kylah!
I have a Google Alerts search for Civil War reenacting and I think I discovered you there. Now I've got your feed showing up in my Reader. I enjoy your enthusiasm and observations. Keep up the good work!
I haven't done an event since the rain event of June 2006. But when I see others getting excited about reenacting then it makes me think I should look at the schedule and get back in the field.

No Way!
If I am putting wool on then I want to take that opportuity to get away from the family. Thank you very much! :)
Another year maybe. My daughter will be four and need less watching. Camping went very well two weeks ago. She even enjoyed the rain! So I figure next year I will be looking at getting back in the field.

guess I got it
guess I got it backwards..........
know how it is with the wee ones, charlene goes back and forth on wether she like it or not but she still dreams of the day that she might be able to use a "real" musket
(is that a real sword? is that a real tent? did you stay out here all night in that?)
will be looking for you in a year to either kill or get you in my side to kill for me....

Kill or be killed...

Is any one else blogging?
To everyone! Is anyone else blogging? I'm always looking for good civil war material. What about your favorite source of reenactor news? I can't stand browsing the forums and have stopped. But if someone was blogging the news that would be cool!

Ok how about a reenactor podcast?
I'm currently involved in two podcasts.
How about we start a MaineMilitia.com podcast? DO you have a headset and mic? Have you tried Skype?

I have a mic and I have a
I have a mic and I have a headset but they are not attached,,,,big question is how that sort of thing works on dialup....yep my computer is hooked to the great unwashed masses of computerdom not expecting dsl up my way until the year.....Never. cable doesnt come up my way. im lucky to have telephone the lines are so bad....
but im intrigued by this mass media modern communications will I need to learn morse code?
Seamus
Cogito sumere potum alterum
Very likey,
morse code may be required over dial-up. What about your long distance provider? Do you have unlimited minutes? Or a cell phone with free minutes after 9PM or on weekends? Cell phone would be nice then you can dial out on your computer while being online.
Tonight I'll try to write up more details for you Mike. It's possible to call out on a phone and connect to me in a way that I can record.

long distance? unlimited
long distance? unlimited minutes? cell phone? that whole tecnoinfrastructure that the Great Gov Baldy promised aint up here...Our cell phone is a poser mobile bought my minutes and there is little to no signal up here....I am afraid I am out of the running in the great mass media arms race, I have a brother and his wife who keep trying to get me involved in some online game and I checked out the site and if you arent on Broadband or dsl you just aint gonna do it. apparently someone forgot to bring the 21st century to this part of Maine, I am sure I am not alone...I will have to entice you up here with promised food and drink and you can tell me how inferior my computer is.....

Blogging
Blogging is fun and I really like seeing photos from other re-enactments. Plus, you get the stories that go with the photos. For example: I know that I've only been able to see Deb twice this year and I'm not sure if I'm going to see her again to get the full scoop on her Maryland trip so it's nice to hear her recount the story on her blog! It gives me, who has just wrapped up her first season, ideas for the next year!
