So much for that idea

I have missed the deadline for GWW's class submissions to be published in their gate book.  Last year I submitted class proposals after the deadline and wasted time sitting around waiting for people not to show up to my classes. I will NOT do that again.

Collegium Caidis then. What I'm thinking of doing:

1. "Paint bucket" taiko
2. A waka workshop
3. An overview of period Japanese fashion and how to reproduce it for SCA use.

I'll write it up and get it in this weekend.

Happy tummy

 
Just had an excellent dinner at Kamakura with karisu_sama  and didjiman , who met me out at Alameda Point to shoot pictures beforehand. We split an order of  "essence of lobster" soup which had big chunks of lobster carcass floating among the tofu, cabbage and ginger and was to die for. I ordered the sashimi moriawase appetizer, a generous assortment of sashimi, including the BEST tako (octopus) I have ever had in my entire life. I couldn't finish my roll (crab tempura, avocado and cucumber) so there are two pieces downstairs in the fridge to be enjoyed for lunch tomorrow. We also split a 350 ml bottle of Ohyama sake (dry, very nice with our meal). As happened the last time, when I ate here with mamapduck, we were served a plum wine aperitif on the house with our bill. Kamakura is not inexpensive, but so worth the splurge!
