I liked it enough that I finally figured out how do do it legitimately, and even get paid for it. This weekend I will be a paid demonstrator at the Lester River Rendezvous, in Duluth, MN. We will be doing our cannon drill. Two weeks after that I will be paid to demonstrate as both a blacksmith (a raging fire, under perfect controlbeing utilized to make cool stuff), and a cannoneer in a grenadier unit. What an awesome life!!

I just wish I had a pirate ship, so I could fire at least ten cannons at once.
