Under the Redcoat 2010

Jul 04, 2010 03:00

I've been asked by several people if I'm going to do my customary trip writeup...which, I was considering not doing, but enough people have asked that I think maybe it might actually get read ( Read more... )

Dorkface. I didn't fall asleep until almost six. A.m.

Very nice - Emily survived (head cook) and we're already plotting for Brandywine! Thanks so much for your help at the mess, you and Mike and Tyler were such a great help! Please do come back and serve agian next year..... Which, by the way, I named the Drums Frederick (he was red) and Patrick (he was the black on). I have way too much fun in that kitchen!

I'm so glad we could be helpful! I would have hated to be more of a burden than a help. Thanks for the opportunity, too...it's one of the cooler "period" things I've ever done at a reenactment, and if I'm at UTR next year, I'll be there! :) I was wondering if anyone had named the fishies...I tagged them as Mike & Tyler when I put the photos on Facebook. ;D

Oh dear. Can you walk at this point?

ktlovely July 4 2010, 19:39:52 UTC

I can walk now! I recovered fine after I switched permanently to modern shoes...although now I am shedding large pieces of skin off my left foot where the blisters & bleeding were. (Sorry, that's kind of gross...)

Glad you had fun! Sorry your feet hurt! It sounds painful! I'm terrible with the heat too, so I'm glad you survived! :-)

Thankfully, the foot-pain isn't my primary memory! In fact, this is definitely one event where I pretty much remember the good stuff...not so much the heat or shoe issues. :D I feel like I almost handled the temps better than the guys at some points, but then they were wearing long sleeves. The shorter sleeves of 18th century are AWESOME in the heat!

Your poor feet! But I'm SO glad you didn't suffer from the heat, and had such a good time. I love the pictures!

Sooo much fun! Almost as fun has been watching my feet shed like little snakes as they recuperate. :P But it was an awesome event!
