Edith and I trundled off today to Autumn Collegium in Beau Fleuve, at a site that is about as far as you can get from home and still be in the Barony (travel time: approximately an hour). For me, at least, it was a very relaxing day. I taught my socks class, which now has [...]
I keep going back and forth between being glad I’m taking a year off from Pennsic this year (we’re going to help out with our new niece instead) and sad that I’m going to miss it.
Have fun, kill many!
Interrupted? Anyway… Pax was our only chance to camp this summer, since we’re not going to Pennsic. Somehow we had never managed to get to Pax over the last three years despite it being only an hour away.
So we headed out Friday afternoon, got all set up and did some visiting on Friday night before [...]
For the second year in a row, the Canton of Beau Fleuve has hosted spring Coronation – this year, though, the new Royals are from our own Barony! So we went, of course, because I love Coronations – almost as much as I love Crown Tournaments.
It was a very fun day. I entered the Kingdom [...]
Jokes were made that Caleb did a really good job taming the ice dragon this year… though it didn’t last long, as it snowed this morning.
But that’s beside the point. I really don’t get why this even wipes me out so much, but it does. We all had a lot of fun; Mistress Mahin came [...]
Saturday morning we piled six of us into Irene’s truck to go to the College of Three Ravens in Thescorre. I was on the reserve list to teach my hosen class, fully expecting to be asked to step in for a cancelled class. As it turned out, I wasn’t. I went to [...]
I’m on the “reserve list” to teach my hosen class at C3R on the 28th… if you’re interested, even if I don’t end up stepping into a slot, find me and I’ll be happy to let you have a handout!
That was the name of our event today… we had quite a good time. Matatias fenced, I taught my hosen class (which I had forgotten that I very cleverly titled “Socks Don’t Have to Be Knit” – way more fun than “Cut Hosen for Men and Women”), we all went to a beginning dance class [...]
We trotted off to Summer’s End this morning and had an enjoyable day. I picked up my blades for the first time in close to a year, and while my legs and lungs are in the best shape they’ve ever been, my bladework is … pathetic at best. But hey, I didn’t lose out in [...]
We went, we warred, we got sunburned and ate lots of cobbler and ice cream and drank more than our share of Raven (and came home with another bottle). I didn’t fence at all, but M did, and quite well (he took second in the EK Tourney and also fought in the field battle, woods [...]
