Sep 2008 update
We're back! Kirsten and Scott are back from the SCA's Pennsic War. If you've never attended, this event is best described as a medieval tent village of 12,000 people that pops up like Brigadoon for 2 weeks and then disappears again. It is kinda like a cross between a Renaissance Faire, a Highland Games, and a medieval war re-enactment, with some Burning Man, and a Scouting Jamboree thrown in for fun. Scott's annual concert went well, sales were good, weather was great and the kids were well behaved.
Scott also has a new CD available under his "Efenwealt Wystle" stage name. Songs from the Sock Drawer is a mix of medieval, renaissance, celtic, filk, SCA, and Harry Potter stuff. It has a nice balance of happy, serious, and goofy songs. Listening samples available at http://www.soundclick.com/efenwealtwystle
Now, on to the real news:
