Catsup V – Autumn War
I took some time off and flew up to An Tir for Autumn War. Which was in early August. Don’t ask.
I had a great time. I got to see some old friends (Dagar!) and met interesting people. I miss events like this where 1000+ folks show up at this old hay meadow and turn it into a medieval city for the weekend. Events in Trimaris are much smaller and usually are at sites with air-conditioned cabins and flush toilets. This adds weight to my plan to eventually retire in An Tir. (Thanks again Daniel and Cet)
One of the best parts of the weekend was that my brother came up from Corvallis for the event with my niece and nephew. No one from my family has ever shown any interest in the SCA but he was planning on going camping that weekend anyway…. My brother went online and found some patterns and made some garb for the kids that really looked good. Overall, I had a great time with them (and I don’t get to see very often) and I think they had a good time too. My niece really liked archery though my nephew was kind of unimpressed about the whole thing…except for going wading in the creek. Hey, he’s only five.
Okay, more later. Some songs again eventually I hope.
