After meeting with my partner Angela, I feel as though I am on the right track as far as my idea. She thinks it would be a very entertaining thing to shoot, and I tend to agree. From an outsiders point of view, the people who are involved in the CMU organization of LARP (Dagorhir) seem like really interesting individuals.
Actually getting photos is going to be the challenging part to all of this. I have to get in contact with someone in the group. I’ve emailed the RSO president and also a member who seems really into it via Facebook. His facebook name is his LARP name and his profile picture is him in costume so I think that is a good sign.
I hope to get started on this project in the very near future, I’d like to have a couple photos by next week.

The $507,500 contract shouldn’t be satisfying enough for Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Doug Fister next season.
Fister, who returned from the 15-day disabled list Monday, is making less money than a majority of the Tigers pitching staff.
He deserves better and should get it next season when his deal expires.

The injury-plagued Red Wings called up three members of the Grand Rapids Griffins Monday after suffering another setback in a 2-1 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks.
Forward Chris Connor, defenseman Doug Janik and goaltender Jordan Pearce will suit up to fill the gaps in the Wings lineup following recent injuries.
Starting netminder Jimmy Howard (lower-body) and defenseman Jakub Kindl (upper-body) both left early in the game Sunday and neither returned.
Coach Mike Babcock said Kindl was sore prior to the game and shouldn’t have played, though his injury should be day-to-day.
Following the 2-1 loss, Howard said he didn’t think his injury was too severe in an interview with the Detroit News.
“All I can tell you is it’s a lower-body injury and I’m day to day,” Howard said. “I don’t think it’s too serious. I’ll get it looked at tomorrow morning and go from there.”

Mike Commodore’s trade-deadline departure will make room for rookie-defenseman Brendan Smith on the Detroit Red Wing depth chart.
Commodore was sent to the Tampa Bay Lightning Monday for a 2013 7th-round draft pick. He recorded two points in his 17 appearances with the Wings.
“I played 17 games, was a healthy scratch for 30 games, that’s not going to cut it,” Commodore said. “It would have been nice to see this thing through here. It’s a good team here, they got as good a chance to win as anybody else, but this is probably better for me. I get an opportunity. I never really got an opportunity here.”
With Jonathan Ericsson benched for a month with a wrist injury and defensemen Nicklas Lidstrom and Kyle Quincey suffering day-to-day injuries, Smith will get a chance to prove his worth.
The rookie recorded 10 goals and 22 assists in his 47 games with the Grand Rapids Griffins this season. Earlier in the season he appeared in three games in a Red Wings uniform, tallying three assists.
“I was in Grand Rapids a couple of times this week,” Holland said in a Freep story. “Brendan Smith was on the all-rookie team last year in the American league. He’s got 10 goals. Obviously a tremendous college career.”
