Summary of Pennsic 39
Aug. 17th, 2010 12:02 pmHere is a quick summary -- I'll expound on the details in later entries.
* Arrived Saturday, Aug. 7, at 1 a.m. Got crash space on the floor of Dame Roxanne's tent, which was set up for my arrival. I'm assuming it got delivered to where it was supposed to go after it was taken down.
* Taught two sessions of my Battle of Grunwald class and one session of "Survey of Medieval Lithuania."
* Forgot one of my horizontal tent poles and had to spend the war with a 10-foot length of PVC pipe supporting one end of my tent. Thanks, Bumba!!
* Took a heraldry class to fulfill my annual requirement.
* Played in the bands for the Beginners' Ball and the Grand Ball.
* Was a kitchen helper for Lady Tirzah when we cooked for the encampment.
* Took Sfandra's class on Ukrainian bead netting, a.k.a. gerdany. Ooh, another way to make shiny, pretty necklaces!!
* Did not buy a single book this year. The Haunted Bookshop has carried a tome on Lithuanian goldsmithing, but given my current situation, it's hard to justify spending $100 on a book that's written in Lithuanian.
* Placed an ad in the Pennsic Independent to give Maugorn's career a boost -- and they spelled it "Maugron." Oops.
* Brought home a damp tent because of rainstorms around the end of War Week.
When I got home on Sunday night, I also had piles of soggy laundry because I had used my already-dirty laundry to mop up the puddles on the vinyl floor of my tent. So I spread the laundry out as best I could so that it wouldn't stink. The boy toy said he was going to do laundry yesterday, and so he did ... but he washed only the mundane clothes that were already in the laundry baskets, NOT the Pennsic stuff. And when I pointed out the urgency of cleaning the garb and towels and whatnot before mildew sets in, he said, "Hey, that stuff wasn't in the baskets!" Well, YEAH, I was trying to spread it out and prevent mildew, and the baskets were already filled to the brim! Grrr. Anyhow, this morning I refilled the now-empty baskets with dirty Pennsic stuff, and I hope he takes the hint.
Baroness Martelle made an excellent post about her to-do list for next year; perhaps I shall do the same.
