| | Disinformation :: The Society For Creative Anachronism |
 | | The Society for Creative Anachronism moniker itself was the creation of feminist writer, activist, and neo-pagan Marion Zimmer Bradley, who came up with it about a month later when she needed to fill in a blank on a form to reserve Joaquin Miller Park in Oakland for the group's second event. |
 | | The Society, after all, was more than a physical outlet for the creative energies and unfulfilled ideations of a generation of young misfits: It was also a way to impress chicks with one's physical prowess, the perfect antidote to the stereotype of the bespectacled, Spock-grokking sci-fi nerd. |
 | | SCA members are also a ubiquitous presence on the neo-medieval, fantasy roleplaying, Renaissance Faire, and gothic subcultures, which, it can be argued, the group helped to inspire. |
