Greetings from Western MD! So glad to have found this forum and website, not sure how I've missed it all this time! About me- a Minnesota native, have lived in MN, MO, PA, MD; in college I lived in England for 9 months with a host family and went to school (best experience of my life!) and traveled all over the UK and Europe. I first loved Austen adaptation movies like '95 "Sense and Sensibility" and "Pride and Prejudice" and Regency Romance, and got more into the period through fashion and Austen novels. I love musical theater, I perform (sing) in local community and professional theater. I will be working on a project this summer at a local theater doing a companion live floor show in conjunction with a movie screening of "Emma" (not sure which version yet, hopefully the Kate Beckinsale one), singing songs from Paul Gordon's musical adaptation, which I was lucky enough to see twice last year in San Diego. There is not much Regency going on in my neck of the woods, but I hope to change that! I had a Jane Austen Birthday Tea hosted at a local B&B in December, and try to attend JASNA events within a few hours of me, in Pittsburgh and DC. I've attempted a few short stories for contests, would like to write more in the future, and love reading (mostly Regency era romance). I've found my mother ship!!

Greetings! This forum is really a treasure-trove of information; I've learned a great deal since stumbling upon it! Hopefully, there will very shortly be some events in your neck of the woods to satisfy your cravings for all things Regency. We've just formed the Regency Society of Virginia and we're in the process of organizing events that will be more convenient for our northern neighbors to attend. So glad that you found the forum! -uHf
