first event packing since 12th Night
Oct. 8th, 2020 10:31 pmThis weekend is the SCA event A tailors story, or there will be cheese. It would have been Drachenwald Crown, but they had to cancel that because it is not a good year for international travel. But the cook had already been doing lots of pre-event prep, such as smoking cheese and reindeer, etc. So they decided that since Sweden's laws permit gatherings of up to 50 people, we could hold an event for 40 people.
I am really looking forward to it, and spent this evening packing. Taking care to fold my costumes just exactly perfectly before putting them into the chest. Brushing the sheepskins before putting them into the bag. That kind of attention to detail (and filling in a Trello card with a check list for every container that I will bring.
Since I don't have a car of my own anymore my friend Ellinor, who used to borrow my car when she needed one, said that I was welcome to borrow hers. Therefore she came over tonight, and we had a cup of tea (black currant leaves from our garden) and I fed her a pumpkin bread roll. Then I loaded Villiam's sewing machine (which lives here, since this is where he does his sewing) into the car, drove her home, then stopped by the local grocery store/post office to pick up the new humidifiers I had ordered (the old ones had, sadly, died, and it is getting to the time of the year where they are essential). Then I went to Villiam's, gave him his sewing machine, which Phire will be borrowing this weekend for their build-your-own-poi workshop, and put his sleeping bag etc. into the car.
Tomorrow I will get some work done during the day and load the car. Then I will meet Villiam at Phire practice at 17:00, where I will do a little acroyoga with Johan, and then Villiam and I will drive south. Google says 2.25 hours to the site from here, so we will be later than site opening (18:00), but not that late, I would think.
Really looking forward to it!
