gurdymonkeyPre-reg and plane ticket are already done.
I fired off a check for 12 cubic feet of truck space this morning to the gentleman who is serving as our Pennsic teamster. Between that and what the airlines allow for checked and carry-on, I should be able to enjoy the war in relative comfort.
After a great deal of thought and some shopping via eBay, I acquired a cot that folds down very compactly into a case about 36" x 5" x 5" or so, similar to the one Emma has. It just makes much more sense to me than an air mattress. I've done Pennsic from ground level on an air mattress. Air mattresses leak. Air mattresses have to be pumped and periodically repumped. If it rains, your bedding is that much closer to the ground and more likely to get wet.

Spent this evening making up a handout with musical instrument and SCA resources for the Maker Faire, where I've agreed to demo hurdy gurdy and psaltery on Saturday. I also whipped up some "Got Gurdy?" business cards with the portrait from my Rose Leaf Scroll by Lady Danae Fitzroberts (see avatar) and modern contact info on it for the General Public. (I don't expect it to result in any paying gigs, but one never knows.) I should swing by Best Music tomorrow and pick up a new block of rosin, while I'm thinking of it.
Work has been weird with Nancy away in Puerta Vallarta, but Grace and I kicked ass on payroll day. Well, Grace kicked ass on the data entry end and I herded foremen. Despite the usual procession of spoiled union employees with dumb questions, emergency disciplinary lay-offs that need a check cut RIGHT NOW, the Safety Department's need to be babied through their habitual lack of organization and the discovery that I'd been cleaned out of new hire packets yet again without the culprit telling me the cupboard was empty, I think I managed to hold the fort pretty well. If tomorrow is as dead as I expect it to be, I should be able to work on assembling the new foremen's kits.

Date: 2007-05-18 04:23 pm (UTC)The real question is whether some well meaning member of the West Kingdom will set up my tent before my arrival with the doors aligned east-west?
Might be time to pick up new ridgepole lumber this summer.
