Memorial Day Weekend
So I went to my first non-sanctioned SCA event (Or hell, first event all together outside of a fair) called The Gathering, and I had a blast!
Actually, the weekend started off kind of iffy. The GF and I had never been to anything like this. We got there Friday afternoon - and setup was.. iffy. After being yelled, and lectured at through an entire setup process (said friend was overtired), we finally got it done.
Then, after setup was done, the GF and I where led to meet a few folks, before our host went on without us as it was too hot to walk briskly through the entire site. A little while later, I went to find another friend through a groups encampment who we where supposed to be 'there' with? Gave me the evil eye, every time I came though. So! We said to HELL with it, and started wandering on our own. It's a good thing we did!
Lets say, that the highlight of the weekend, was winding up in a great Kilt, and parading through with the Jacobite Guard - who've fully adopted me into their numbers, now.
Ooooh, and the photo opportunities.. It's going to take me days, weeks to get through all of these images - but I'll have them posted on my dA as I make it through! For now? Here's one my favorites from the Saturday night fire-play show.
Enjoy!!
