As in the past 2 years, we are having a cavalcade of houseguests making their way from Points East to Pennsic. This year is the Most Houseguests Ever – we will have 3 folks here tomorrow night, 2 more Saturday night, 3 a week from Friday, and… I think 4 on Saturday the 9th. Oh, [...]
I’m seeing “Pennsic Panic” posts & e-mails all over the intarwebz these days… only two weeks to land grab, after all!
There is no panic here. I have learned my lesson – I make huge lists of things that I have to get done before War and they get whittled and whittled and whittled and I [...]
BRT was yesterday… it wasn’t as hot as it was last year, thank goodness, and we were all entertained. I got to do some A&S demo-ing and remembered as I always did that my stuff just isn’t eye-catching in a demo setting. Oh well! There are lots of pictures here (it’s technically [...]
Shoshanna and I trekked (and I do mean trekked… I think it was the furthest I’ve ever traveled within my home group to get to an event. (OK, maybe I traveled further in Nordskogen, but I don’t remember for sure… M quibbled that TECHNICALLY WW was an “in barony” event, but he’s a quibbler.) The [...]
The kiddo and I did Ice Dragon solo again this year. Sadly, that means no fencing and no pent-ing for me. Next year I think we’ll work it so I can do some judging for the pent again – that was fun. We had a relaxing day, wandering, chatting, hearing stories. [...]
Somehow… we had never traveled out of kingdom to go to an event until this weekend! Well, living in the Hael, our closest neighbors are actually in Ealdormere, so this weekend we trucked to St. Catharines, Ontario to go to the Children’s Event. Shoshanna had a blast, though she was a bit on the young [...]
Baronial Investiture was today. Will and Kiersey are FREE! and Caleb didn’t follow my advice (I told him he should say “dear lord what have I done?” as soon as his butt hit the chair) but has been properly installed as Baron Rhydderich Hael.
The event was possibly the most relaxing I’ve been to in a [...]
Well, actually, I’ve been busy with modern concerns. But that’s neither here nor there.
M and I were made rapier marshals at Summer’s End. Hooray!
Textile guild is planning to make new Baronial banners (silk, appliquéd dragons, they will be AWESOME) for Investiture in December.
I was conned into displaying in the A&S display – really didn’t take much conning, actually. I displayed the split tunic and Matatias’ new blue hosen, which I had finished on Sunday evening. The feedback on both items was overwhelmingly positive, and I had a lot of interesting discussions about various aspects of [...]
Benadryl comas, migraines, a dead car, a trip to UHaul in Youngstown.
Other than that, a fun event. Relaxing, all things considered. I didn’t fence at all, showed the split tunic at the Artisan’s Forum but I had forgotten my documentation and didn’t have room to bring a dress form, so it pretty much went unnoticed. [...]
