And, following the lead of everyone starting with
kfitzwarin, and which I found in
dr_zrfq journal as well...here's my instantiation of the Pennsic meme:
Where I'm camping and where to *really* find me: I'll be camping in my merchanting space, which is 191B. Oddly this isnt on the map, just as I am not listed in the merchant book, but i will be there, trust me. 191 B is kind of near the end of Plunder lane. Since I am a merchant I spend most of my time in my booth. I have previously camped with Bhakail, and might be there sometimes.
There are a couple of merchants I tend to be around a lot -- White Wolf and the Phoenix (a/k/a Megan and
herveus), Poison Pen Press (they get most of my money every year), Neverland Designs, Thorny Rose, Auntie Arwen's Spices, and anyone who makes garb suitable for a sideless surcoat.. I can occasionally be spotted drooling at armor and late period clothing.
Other than that? I am usually running around making sure my friends eat and drink enough. I eat breakfast most mornings at the omelet place, drink Splenda sweetened lemon shakes, eat way too many sweet potato fries, and try to volunteer a shift or two at Chirurgeons.
Arrival and departure: I should be arriving early Monday the 7th. (Anyone want to help me set up my pavillion?) I am not leaving until Sunday (the 20th).
Fun things I'm planning to do: I mostly hang around my booth and wait for friends to come by. If I have coverage for my booth I plan on attending the classes. Shopping is , of course, a necessity. I did mention the Splenda lemon shakes and the sweet potato fries, right?
Why you should come to my booth: In addition to the wonderful merchandise, I am bringing a large amount of food, and both alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks for my friends. Please help me finish these off so I don't have to take them home. Remember, I don't go to many parties, because I usually find out about them the next morning, or i get lost going to them... help bring the party to the directionally challenged merchant!
In case someone doesn't know...: The business name is Fabric Dragon. The SCA name is Kirsten Dystel. The mundane name is Kirsten Houseknecht.
