I'm off to the War--whee!

[dreamflower]

I'll be leaving in a few minutes to drive up to Gulf Wars. The plan for today is to make an early day of it--so I should check in again this evening. I'm hoping to spend some time at the Dungeon Scribe's Point today, and check out the merchants a bit. Tomorrow I am hoping that coneygoil is going to be able to go with me.

By the way, I see the announcements for the GMAs are up now, and the speeches--I'd like to congratulate all the winners, especially grey_wonderer for "The Trouble with Jam", *bounce*bounce*grin*! (Loved your Pippin's acceptance speech...)

I'm going to have nice Middle-earthy music to listen to all the way up there! I hope everyone has a nice day!

How does everyone like my hat icon danachan made for me?

I was wondering what that icon was but it looks very nice! Have a lovely time dear.

*hugses*

Yes, that's one of my "funny hats", LOL!

Have fun at the Wars! And oh yes, GW's Pippin's speech was a howl.

[dreamflower]

I did! And I'll be going up again in a few hours for Friday!

I do like that icon. I'm trying to figure out exactly what sort of hat it is though.

[dreamflower]

It's a fifteenth century style of hat sometimes called an "escoffion". It was loads of fun to make, but it's not especially comfortable to wear, as it has a rather heavy wire support. But it looks good with my houppelande (a fifteenth century style of dress), so I sometimes wear it for special occasions like court.

Thank you. I, er, Pippin worked very hard on that speech. He was a pretty good sport about the whole thing. hehehe

I was thrilled that your story, "Hobbit Aid" got an award too. That one deserves all of the awards that it wins. It is so very emotional on so many levels.

Have a great time at "Gulf Wars"!

I thought he was a good sport, anyway. I'm so sorry he didn't get to keep his rat, though. Perhaps it's for the best. I can't imagine that his mother and sisters would have been very happy at his choice of pet.

I'm glad that "Hobbit Aid" got runner-up. I am still not sure of what to make of the story myself, but if it helps keep attention focussed on what's going on here, that is all for the best.

Had a great time in the "Dungeon" (Scribe's Point) yesterday. I hope the weather is cooperative today.
