Event Reporty, paviliony stuff
Jul. 15th, 2004 12:45 pmGot there late Thursday, set up, (without our babysitter, who ended up not showing up until well after my class on Friday) settled in, went to sleep about 4 am.
Got up early Friday so Chris could compete in Knife Axe and Spear, but he was so tired from setup that he did poorly (he almost never loses...), dressed in my Middle Eastern, and went to hang out with Galiana for a bit near the consult table in the lovely wintry hall. Wanted to do Charter Painting, but didn't have time before my class. Went and changed into my Red Rayon Bliaut for the purpose of looking like I know what I'm teaching.
( I taught my class, and I SURVIVED! )
The rest of Friday is something of a Blur, as our sitter didn't get there until court had already started so I was watching FX until after she set up. I do know that we ate, I hung out with Galiana some more, and I bought a hat. There were some offsite errands to replace the flat airless air mattress we were unable to sleep on and purchase a cheap sunshade, some sunscreen, some OFF, candles, tiki fuel, ice...
We went to bed early as we were TIRED. Missed all the Friday partying and pomp.
Saturday, I got up, made coffee and tea for camp, set out breakfasty things, and wandered around camp until everyone woke up. As this took FOREVER, I ended up not doing Charter painting at all. First I went to be a helpful flnuky at the consult table, where I colored submission forms and remembered why I don't like furs. Ended up watching FX for 4.5 hours by myself when I was supposed to be doing Charter Painting because my sitter ran off for longer than a half hour :P
I ran into Duke Kein as he was driving around site trying to locate someone eh was supposed to take to his squire's funeral and got to see his beautiful little son. I hadn't seen Kein in almost 4 years, and he's the person here in Ansteorra who is responsible for getting me back into the SCA, back when I worked for him. Gotta get his and Bronwyn's emails!
Stopped by Charter Painting as she was packing up and picked up blank charters plus an envelope of 'unfinished' charters to touch up, left happy.
There was food, drama, and a lot of partying that night. I saw lots of people I hadn't seen in ages. I became intoxicated at the Porto Party ;)
Sunday, we packed up and went home. Discovered that I need to do some pavilion maintenance.
