Maybe next time.

Whenever I manage to do my eye some small injury (this time it was thrust upon the corner of an open cardboard box in my industrial freezer at work) I mean to take it like Odin, stating, "I sacrifice myself to myself!" Unfortunately, to date, it always comes out something more like, "SHIT MOTHERFUCK DAMN IT."

cursing, thegods

I have a bizarre image of you, toiling in the shadow of the railway tracks as you no doubt did often as a youth. You pause to wipe a speck of metal-dust from your eye, making a small, unconscious noise of annoyance, and the huge, overbearing father figure that towers over you barks, "Take it like Odin, boy!"

Possibly unrelatedly, Beltaine. Let me know what your deal is! There is some sort of Irish Street Faire that weekend in Phoenixville that may need attending.

It was exactly like that.

So. There should be a bonfire. May I invite some other people, or should it be a small affair? Or if there should be more people, should it then happen at my house? I don't want to overrun your family's house with my tribe. Let me know what day works best for you and your parents so I can get off from work and possibly let others do the same.

Friday looks best for us - the rest of the weekend is full of set building and play rehearsal. We can have a small bonfire here, certainly, and we also have a chimenea if we want something more contained. And any and all tribe that can get here and get home are absolutely welcome. If places to sleep are absolutely needed, we have many tents that we can scatter across the yard.

Which Friday? Most of us need two weeks' notice to get off from work.

In fairness, I suspect that while we may get the more impressive line recorded in the mythologies, Odin actually said something more like "I sacrifice myself to HOLY FUCKING SHIT OW OW OW OW"

I just bought May mead yesterday at a mead tasting. And traditional mead, and hybiscus (sp?) mead, and strawberry mead...I am all set for Beltane.

We are doing co-ed Beltane at TPUUF on 5/9 3-whenever. Not sure if the keepers of the maypole will be able to attend, if not, we'll have to do something field expedient. I need to send an email about it. But you and your friends are welcome to attend.

We doing a womyn-only blood mystery ritual on 5/2 at TPUUF from 7-10pm. Should be interesting.
