I think I'm still in shock...
May. 9th, 2005 07:04 amSo, weekend of much happenings. Though it seemed that even though we all enjoyed ourselves much of us were grumpy but I think it was the elevation and the stress of preparing for a long weekend.
So, Friday we got onsite about 6pm and got setup quite quickly with the help of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
snotblossom and Varr, though the wind made us all think about playing parachute like in grade school. We kept the high wind ropes on for once. Then we settled in to chat with people and wait for ed's vigil to start. That was a couple of hours late but that gave us time to get scrolls ready and make sure we had a game plan for the next day. Unfortunately we figured out that the enclosure for richey's was too small, so we'll have scribe_ari cut us a new one. Dude, the southern scribbles ROCK!!! yep...thanks to all of you guys for your hard work. So, sat around for a while and about 2 am we got to see ed. I was really, really tired by then but we had a good talk. Mina and Bjorn stayed with us in the pavillion all weekend and we tried to make them as comfortable as we could (we didn't pack extra blankets) but it was good cause we are Rus an have many, many coats. Woke up at 5:30 just after Ed's vigil ice bathe and then back to bed for a few hours. We all got going pretty slow. But court wasn't until 10:30 so it worked out. We sat through court with lots of goodness...
Tonis got offered his laurel, many of us got cyphers and candy. Then we had a break for lunch. I made sure to get coffee, which helped a lot with my mood. So, addicted to the bean, its awful. We made lunch for Bjorn and mina and then headed back to court. Ed's Knighting ceremony was very memorable.snotblossom made us all cry with her speech and everything was beautiful. Then is was time to switch hats, so to speak. And it was very cool to see the transition. Then Ed and Asa's court started and it was also a lot of fun. Course, right now I don't remember much of it but the horsemen looked great, Roland was spectacular in his Polish kit and it was good. I'll remember more once I upload the pictures. Then we left and I took a nap. Woke up just in time for feast. Good food and good entertainment during the Bard of the Sun competition. The I was tired and kinda grumpy. Not even sure why. Mel was off doing Horsey things and I decided to go to Mini-Maeve's party with the Agni crewe. I got home after a good time and 3 very strong rum and cokes about midnight to find that mel/mina/bjorn were already asleep. I thought that rather odd.
I settled in and woke up before everybody about 7:30 and I was able to scrounge coffee. Then Varr let mina and me get showers (oh, so good) and we then got ready for court. I sat up with Bertana on her blanket cause mel was standing court in his polish. Many good folks got their AOA's. Then ed called us up for the Serviante Del Sol and spoke to everyone about the fact that this order was important because they served the kingdom and kep everything running smoothly. Then he dismissed the order all except me. So, there I sat like a deer in the head lights as they bestowed upon me a Light of Atenveldt. The medallion was an original carved by King Amayot and given to Dame Katherine of Catehall who carried it for 20 years and then passed it on to Alex to give to me. Since we all call her mom, it was fitting that she could give her daughter it on mother's day. I was crying, I was shakey. Dude. I ended up poking Yehuda with one of my brooches and was just overwhelmed. Then court ended and I was sitting there all weird. I put my scroll away and then gathered some money cause eating sounded like a good plan. I went with Ari and Alex and then sat with Senach and nikia. Wow, still kinda shockey. I just kept petting the medallion. Weird. Then I had a good chat with my good reeve and Lady Nikia. Then it was off to the calendar meeting and then I got to watch a bit of the fighting. Mel placed 5th in the bear pit and then 4th in the tourney. Then he did rounds with Duke Uther.torgolomue and cosimo took Queen and King's Champion. Then after a short court we packed up with the help of a lot of folks, had dinner in Bisbee with bertana, mingo/tati and Jack's squire whose name escapes me. Then home.
So, monday is here. We go through final walk thru today after work, I'm gonna get a pedicure before scribble and then we get to finish the scrolls for A&S. Should be a busy night. But I'm sure we'll all do fine.
