Since this has come up in conversation - twice - in the last 24 hours, I am recycling my post (http://dubhease.livejournal.com/8191.html) from 2004 ( Read more... )

Pikeman's Pleasure

dubhease Jun 07, 2009 16:23

Was Pikeman's a good event? Yes. Was it the best Pikeman's Pleasure that I've ever attended? No. Am I glad that I went to Pikeman's? Yes. I think, I might give it a 7.5/10 ( Read more... )

I spoke too soon about Pikeman's. I emailed Daffyd about reserving feast and never heard back. I figured he was a busy guy and no news was good news. Gabrielle emailed him last night and got put first on the waiting list. Then, good friend that she is, she emailed him back to ask why he never replied to me ( Read more... )

I emailed Daffyd about getting on the feast reservation list. (I know - the only real reservation is a paid one, but I never remember to mail cheques in time. If I could pay online with my Mastercard like Pennsic, I'd pay in advance more often ( Read more... )

Autocrats

I am going to Autocrat's Day Off. The baroness called me today. I had had an idea for Practicum 2010 to do a course for beginning bards - that would include some tips, but mostly involve them trying things (because in life, and especially bardic, we learn by doing).

I got to recite my poem again today.

Dandelion Festival

It was my first Dandelion Festival. The date used to float around and it always worked out that it was on a weekend when I had other plans or it was too close to Pikeman's. While being on the long weekend was inconvenient to some people, it actually worked out for me ... and I was so glad I went ( Read more... )

SCA stuff outside of the SCA

dubhease Apr 20, 2009 13:58

I don't know how people handle well meaning outsiders who find out you are interested in something and then try to encourage you to go to some non-SCA variant of that activity. I know people who say it helped them (like a friend who took a mundane archery course) and people who say that it doesn't (cooking and sewing tend to be the two oft-cited ( Read more... )

Feast decisions

dubhease Apr 09, 2009 13:15

I'm just wondering when other people decide it's worth it to pay for feast and when not?

If there are 10 or 12 dishes, how many of them should you be able to eat before it's worth the money?
