Dance!
Yesterday we attended "Midwinter's Revel," an event hosted by Lochmere (Lothian, MD). There was a fun bag game, in which people got bags full of trinkets, and traded for items they liked, w/o knowing the values of the items until the end of the game. There was feasting throughout the day, not really by the schedule provided, but quite tasty. The room was pretty crowded, so I pretty much stayed put in my seat at the table, because, after staying up way too late (first @
dexlira's gamenight, then getting stuff ready for the event - I crashed out around 3am) & getting up early, I was tired and after awhile developed a headache (that eventually went away with Excedrin & Diet Coke - we drove to a nearby gas station & were amused by the men tripping over themselves to open doors for us).
After all the feasting, and court, there was DANCING!!!
We danced Black Allemande, Gathering Peascods, Rufty Tufty, Black Nag, a simple pavanne (my least favorite type), and, more importantly, found out that our neighbor to the east (Barony of Storvik) hosts dance practice Monday nights (8-10pm), alongside their weekly fighter practice! So
kimbyrle and I are going, whee!!!
I'm still trying to encourage Roxbury Mill people to come out Wednesday nights, but haven't had much success yet.
