The late spring and summer passed by really quite quickly. Most of my free time was spent settling into the house or planning the wedding. I didn't really feel unpacked until late June, then our big SCA event was in early July ( Read more... )

Well, the Twentieth Anniversary of Warriors and Warlords (Northshield's big summer event, for you outlanders) has been laid to rest. Due to some unusual circumstances, I had been pulled in to serve again as autocrat - usually it's a two year stint, but I got to reprise the role after a one year break when the senior autocrat precipitously moved to ( Read more... )

So, last night I was going to go to bed at midnight - for honest and truly. I was BEAT and a little weepy and it seemed the best plan. But I stopped to do just one more thing and got in my groove. I next looked up when the birds were singing outside and it was 5AM. Ooops. Well, I figured, four hours of sleep, then off to a morning obligation, then ( Read more... )

It always amazes me how quickly Warriors and Warlords flies by when one is in a staff position! After six years as Baroness and two as Autocrat, I'm not sure how next year will go - it will be so odd to have the ability to choose my own schedule. Very strange...

Anyway - this year! Due to the Fourth of July being Monday, the set-up week was ( Read more... )

It's been awhile since I posted. Things are going reasonably well, just very, very busy.

( WW )

Usually I am a "reply within an hour, maybe three" sort of girl. Since WW, I have been trying to dig out and triaging as I go. Work is crazy. Home is crazy. Pennsic prep is crazy. If you emailed/called me and I did not get back to you, my apologies, I'm working on it! Please ping me if a question was urgent and I failed to tag it as such.

Thank you to the 100 people who filled out the survey regarding this year's WW. Some of your comments echoed things we had already considered, others were new ideas we will have to consider carefully for next year. A summary of some of the more common suggestions/comments ( Read more... )

Sooo... last week there was this thing... some of you might have heard about it... actually, 760 of y'all showed up for it. ;) It kept me sort of busy this spring and then I've been mysteriously tired this whole week, but I still wanted to do my recap.

Hi everyone!

I created a short survey to get some feedback about WW. While this is for my own use in planning for next year and suggestions will not necessarily be implemented, please stop by and let me know what you thought about this year's WW.

So... Yeah... Life has been full of teh crazy...

On the SCA-front, I am in hardcore pull-the-details-together mode for Warriors and Warlords. Three weeks and counting! I am sort of a control freak and so I am doing the scheduling/site booklet as part of being autocrat, which makes me more comfortable with the process, but much, much busier. It ( Read more... )
