Fencing Blues.
We got the word Thursday evening: The church we hold our fencing practice wants us out. We must find a new location to play. This is a bit of a downer, but the annoying thing is how they justified the ejection. Basicly they've been taking any security incident: open doors, alarms going off, and blaming it on us. Found a door open? Must have been those fencers! My personal favorite was when we obviously set off an alarm, while we weren't there.
If they had just said "we need the space, you will need to find a new place". We would have understood. This was limp justification. Lovely Christian behavior.
The same night of the announcement, one of my fencing blades broke. This isn't some epee, this was an Alchem rapier blade. Ah well, it lasted almost 2 years, but the general feeling is that these things are not supposed to break at all. In any case I have ordered a replacement blade. Hopefully I'll have my clunky brute blade back in operation soon.
