Not a real post, but a post-Event placeholder

Aug 30, 2009 09:15

Not a real entry at all. Yesterday was...well...interesting. Amazingly bad and yet a few good highlights. As events go I have seen better, I have seen worse. Same with actions of people. Ah well. Life goes on.

To this outsider, it seemed to go off fairly well.

Oh, the event was fine (save for a few snaggles which happened off and on throughout the day). It all has to do with personal issues and things going on in my life and with people around me and how I am perceiving things.

***hugs***

I didn't have a chance to stop and say hello yesterday. If there's something I did, allow me to apologize and make it up to you... and, regardless, if there's something I can reasonably do to help please let me know.

Not you. Its me. All about me. I'm just having difficulty handling some things right now.

I should have introduced you to my friend Katie, who was running a merchant booth (something Artefyce). Her day job is on staff at Turkey Run. Hopefully, she'll be coming out to more SCA events (she does have to work weekends frequently) but she had a good time. :)

I never went over to the merchants. Well, walked by them a few times, or at least the ones on the corner that I had to walk by to get from my tent to either Troll or the Hall. And since one of those was a friend I did stop and talk to her late afternoon.

I'll try to keep a look out at future events if she merchants.

Katie's a neat person (she works at the farm site sometimes, but most of the time works in the offices, I think -- btw, the offices aren't in trailers any more, they're in modular buildings, with a library and a laundry and a kitchen and stuff like that!) At Market Fairs, she portrays a Gypsy fortune-teller, but is just a straight-up 18th century farm-worker the rest of the time she's on site. So it was kind of funny to see her in the turban, etc., with kohl on her eyes, etc. -- and to recognize her in all that get-up too ;-)
She'd been in the SCA before she was at Turkey Run (so a flip-flop from your experience & mine, I s'pose) :-)
