Wow, what a neat experience! Will you (plural) be writing this up so others can try this without starting from scratch?
I certainly hope so -- I've pledged myself to helping on this end, although I think everyone needs some more recovery time before taking the next step (and we haven't entirely finished processing the post-mortem).
I was surprised to learn that glasses are carried away to be refilled, instead of the butler (or staff) bringing pitchers to the tables when a refill is needed.
This was primarily an intersection of the decision not to have people bring their own feast gear (since we couldn't very well require ownership of a 15th c. drinking vessel as a prerequisite for attending) and not having enough glasses among the admittedly staggering amount of 15th c. reproduction drinking vessels lent by the various feast staff. It wasn't an ideal solution, but unlike the spoons issue, making our own wasn't a practical option either.
