next European Textile Forum--you know you want to go!

They have finally announced the details for this year's European Textile Forum, which will be held at an Experimental Archaeology Laboratory near Mayen, Germany the first week of September. Given how many other long-distance things I have already planned to miss this summer due to time and budget constraints I suspect I won't get to this one, either. However, if it is 1/4 as much fun as the two Textile forums I have made it to (and I suspect it will be) then I can strongly recommend it to any of you who are interested in Medieval textiles, either from a reenactment viewpoint, or from an archaeological viewpoint--this is the place where scientists and hobbyists get together to share their research and enjoy doing textile related activities together.
