dreamflowerI had a really nice weekend! I am now the herald for our local Barony in our SCA group!!
Our little one day free event was held at the new home of our Baron/Baroness. It's an old house, and they've done a *lot* of work on it, and it's really cool. They've decorated the front room to look like a 500 year old pub. It's located well inland, but in spite of that the property lost a lot of trees so they call it "Broken Oaks", LOL! The event was called "NUTS to Katrina", and was very laid back--there was a small tourney, with only four fighters, a games competition, and several classes on things like weaving and so forth. Mostly I spent time talking to friends I had not seen in a while.
I hope to post pictures in a few days.
Yesterday was resting up, although we did go out for lunch at Subway, got gas, and went to Barnes & Noble. I bought a pantograph kit in the remaindered book section, and ordered two books that they don't carry.
Today I have a ton of laundry--including the Baronial Herald's Tabard--which is really, really *hot*. *wheew!*
One more note: as the new herald reading out the names of the winners of competitions, the SCA name of the one who won the Live Weapons (that is, throwing spears, knives and axes at a target) was "Drogo".
I really had to bite my tongue to keep from saying something about Frodo's father!!
