August Vacation Part un
My August vacation beat out my July vacation, since I didn't have to stay home due to strained intercostal muscles. I know that's faint praise, but it'll improve from there.
Irish Fair is always a fair amount of volunteer work and a modicum of fun. My first volunteer gig was in the dance tent, so I got to perpetuate the awesomeness of social dance. As a bonus, certain people were mostly polite. Spare moments were spent at the Loma Mor table, since it seems to be separate this year. Got the cousins to sit with me for a bit, even.
Entertaining the family did prevent me from taking K's class on Sunday, however.
I got to hear Brian Miller's lumberjack songs. They were quite entertaining and instructional. I was hoping his song about being roped into a baseball game was somehow related, and we'd get to hear it. (no such luck)
Got to hear Altan, as I set up a portable stage. Really those are the two performances that stick out for me.
The other event that stands out is the fact that I actually entered two photos in the photo contest. I usually lack enough organization to do that. I later got schooled on what criteria they use for judging, since almost all the winners seemed to be of a whacking stately building. I don't necessarily consider that 'scenery.' Interesting.
After the scattering, there was tear-down/clean up. Until 10. I was tired. That is all.
