Crown: Crown was a pretty pleasant event, marred only by Johanna being sick and missing her B-day party. :-( Spent most of the weekend working for TMs. The entertainment went off very well, and I got lots of complements (which is weird because I wasn't the one *doing* the entertaining...) Allergies and lack of sleep got to me by Saturday afternoon, though -- many thanks to madbaker for the Zantac (sp?), which got me through the rest of the day. And I can't say enough of how nice a person Her M is. My only regret is not getting to spend the time I would have liked talking to people that I like. :-)

England trip: Things are getting more real. When I came home Monday night my passport had arrived. Johanna tells me the plan is to leave Oct. 6 and come back on the 16th. Ticket-buying will happen pretty soon.

Brandee has been doing pretty well. She had turn outs both Friday and Saturday, and a training ride Sunday, so she did not suffer over crown weekend. :-) And I had a good (if hot) ride on Monday, which made me happy.

Trying to sort out all the SCA stuff I want to help with. Now there's horses at Purg, and I'm still on R&Y's court. Purg will, therefore, be busier for me than usual. A&S there's the Tavern and I want to have my pink venetian done for that so I can help. August 12th is the rapier event, which will be in Scotts Valley and not Ed Levin. I think we can still be the 16th-C-Courtiers-playing-at-being-greek-gods thing, but maybe not with so much of a water emphasis. Big publicity push for this event needs to start at A&S. Then there's the Masque at 12th Night. Need to set up some planning deadlines so the necessary props can be taken care of. Learnteach, I'll be contacting you soon to touch base.

That's enough for now, I suppose.

an aevent in Scotts Valley?

thats just so surreal. I grew up on Glenn Canyon Rd and went to Harbor High school....

dad still lives in Ben Lomond. I'd love to go to an event down there sometime, just for the mind bender of going to an event where I used to ride my pony in the redwoods....

:)

Hey, you may not have done the entertaining, but we wouldn't have had the opportunity if you hadn't organized it!

And it looks like I'm getting dragged kicking & screaming to A&S, thanks to the LBK. I need to make some nice cool linen dresses, or I'm not going to be a happy camper. Er, even if we are going to hotel it. :->

Hello, it's Rosie/Rosario from Tarnmist. If you're looking for inexpensive plane tickets British Air is having a sale that's SF to London for $299 round trip. They usually have really good deals if you're on their mailing list.

You sound really busy, let me know if you need help w/ anything. Also, Kathryn, Achmere, and I had contacted Ysa to talk to her about Purg and EQ a while ago. She had activated the insurance but hadn't let anyone know and we sent her all of Gwen's information. We also let her know how bad the site was for horsies so she's been trying to work something out with them so the site won't be so bad for Purg. I know this applies to yesterday's post but still.

I was sick not to be able to stay for the entertainment, especially the play. I'm sure you did a swell job coordinating it...

Girl, we have GOT to do another Sunday, or something.

So the rapier event is now happening in Scotts Valley? I was asked to get them some space at Ed Levin, and have been having a heck of a time getting into contact with the person at the park who books the events. So far I have called the person twice and left messages, and emailed them twice as well. I wish the autocrat would have let me know that they now have a site. :-(
