ianukFinally after 722 days our crown stepped down. We left Tucson with the boy after school let out and then drove to Prescott Valley for dinner at Brian's pub. It was good food and the pumpkin beer was the best I've ever had. They did a cinnamon and sugar rim on the glass...OMG. We stayed at the Holiday Inn per usual and they have updated their rooms since we were there last and that was nice. Got up and to site on Saturday on time and got the tent up between Mel and I and a hand from Tati and Mingo. Then it was like hurry up to do scroll things (drop off) and see people. Court was nice and it was there that I presented Wolgrim's scroll. Here is a picture of me lofting the 44.2 lbs of rune stone up while Wander read the scroll text.
It was very well received. I sent a picture to Wolgrim on the Discord and he was aghast. I let it sit at the A&S display with my 1 page of documentation, 1 page of bibliography pictures and the 1 page of transliteration.
I'm super proud of this project. Like super proud. This is my magnum opus right now.
Here is the full album of start to finish of the scroll (click the picture).
After that and chatting with folks at A&S I was kinda overwhelmed and sat in our shade and sewed trim on my tunic for the next day. It was relaxing and what I needed. Mel had fun fighting and didn't push and still made it into the top 12. Then it was a wait and chat and take things down before sunset court. It was nice, the weather was cool and the only real issue is that this is the off season so all of the local places close for food at 8pm and were booked by when we left site at 730. We made do with Sonic and headed back to the hotel for showers and an early bed. Benton was worn the eff out. He played hard all day long and when he woke up the next morning he was so sore. Poor kiddo. Growing is hard. The amount of people who couldn't believe how big he had gotten in the 19 months since they last saw him was funny. There were folks who hadn't seen him in longer since we had a lot of out of town guests from the outlands/artemesia. Got to see Nikki, Casca & Melissa, Cecilia, Bela, Gabe, Elanor Peregrine, Abby and Kaz, and Helga.
Sunday we slept in a bit and then got to site to hang out in teh shade. We did not set up the tent just set up under the trees which was just fine. Hung out with Olrun and Dominique while I tried to get my knitting project back on track (I failed), so I spun. We left site at 2pm after mel had his fill of fighting melee and then got stuck in traffic on the I17. It took us 3 hours to get down the mountain when it usually takes 1.5. Ugh. But we made it to Rudy's BBQ and had early dinner. Then it was a quick 1.5 hours home.
We were tired when we got home but unloaded all of the needed stuff and then it was an other early bedtime. All in all a good weekend. Now its time to pack for NOLA.
