Anyone else heading to Pennsic this year?

(For those who don't know about it, it's the Society for Creative Anachronism's largest event, which starts this coming weekend and lasts for 2 weeks, at a campground near Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania).

I'm taking my two boys from Aug. 2 until the 10th. I'd love to get together with any other Rangers who will be there.

One of these days we'll have to give that a try. Sadly not this year though.

I don't suppose you've a good lead on a maker of period-style camp furniture though?
Preferably in the Northeast US to save on shipping?

Anything you'd particularly recommend to look for or stay away from?

My camp furniture comes from two sources: stuff that I made, which is rather inelegant, but functional, and stuff I scavenge from the Goodwill store.

I'll take photos of my camp and post them here. I have a new (used) Cabela enormous canvas wall tent, but don't have the time to build a frame for it this year, so it will be a modern tent and a mini-"Viking" tent made out of a 10'x12' tarp.
