Master Kelan McBride of Arainn originally found out about the SCA from a friend at work after his lady and he had attended the Renaissance Pleasure Faire in Southern California (Devore, just north of San Bernardino). The friend said, “If you liked that, come and see what I do. We do the same kind of thing year round.” His first SCA event was Estrella War VI in February 1990.
