laurel - part I

I told gwacie:

We could play the reasie game. What do you want to hear about first? Ceremony? Food? Clothes? People? Wise advice?

She replied:

Start with the vigil :) Did you do a formal vigil? With a tent and things?

The question itself makes for an interesting bit of inter-kingdom anthropology: if I hadn't talked to sue_n_julia, I might not know what you mean

It's funny, I know you've always been an An Tir person, but somehow I expect that your one summer in the Cleftlands meant that you absorbed all of our Kingdom's customs by osmosis ;) heh. Wafers look great, heck, that whole spread looks great! Yay pictures! this is just what I wanted :)

For the rest of you An Tir-ians, in the Middle a peerage vigil usually involves the vigilant in a white dress or tunic in a tent, with the food outside. Anyone can show up and stand (or sit) in line to give the vigilant advice. I love going to vigils, it's like a captive audience for philosophizing about peerage and virtue and stuff! And there's also usually a guest book for folks to sign and write little words of wisdom for the new peer to read later once their head has stopped spinning. It's not the only way we do vigils, just the most common.

I so wish I could've been there to help! Everything looks so great! *squee!*

Someday I'm gonna come to Pennsic and actually cook.

You're tagged because I wrote about you breaking aelfgyfu's cup and then couldn't remember whether that happened during the vigil proper and deleted it :P

Aw this looks lovely. The lighting was very nice for your pictures, and the wafers look so pretty!

Stupid lack of vacation time and high plane fares. Hmf. Unreasonable husband saying can't go to An Tir -and- Pennsic -and- KWHSS. Meanie. Stupid Great Plains taking up all that space!

[ursule]

Clearly you should come out next year!

[ursule]

You know you wanna visit before we move north ;)

[ursule]

Thank you!

We will really, truly get together once I get back from Berkeley :)
