Keeping the Hours at War

This is a fascinating project that was done in Ansteorra: "brothers" in habits observing the canonical hours at an SCA event from Matins to Compline. I think that with a bit of tweaking this would be a wonderful thing to do for a day at either GWW or Estrella.

I've got a ton of brown linen, and patterns; is anyone interested?

Very, very cool. I did something similar in concept (though not nearly so well researched or involved in practice) when I went to Pennsic. I immersed myself in the mentality of the mendicant, tonsured myself, and treated the trip as a pilgrimage. I got a lot out of the experience, and learned a valuable lesson on silly haircuts in the process.
