Well maybe next time

Despite all the earlier warnings and proposed schedules, on Friday my managers and I arrived at a schedule that will allow me to attend most if not all of Estrella.
I will be travelling very light, however, limited to two duffel bags.
I look forward to seeing those who attend.

Saionji: "Wake up." Jehanne: "What do you want NOW?" Saionji: "Did you pack my geta?" Jehanne: "They're in the shoe pile. Shoes go in last." Saionji: "The bloody monkey doesn't go in last." Jehanne: "The monkey doesn't go in the clothing trunk, he's in the handbasket." Saionji: "He's not THAT bad a monkey."
Saionji: "Wake up." Jehanne: "Shut up." Saionji: "My class notes aren't finished." Jehanne: "What the hell do you need notes for a thirty-one syllable unrhymed poem for?" Saionji: "Stupid gaijin like you." Jehanne: "Print 'em out yourself. Just leave enough ink for my sheet music."
Saionji: "Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!" Jehanne: "This had better be important." Saionji: "Do NOT forget the Hakutsuru Junmai?" Jehanne: "Is that your underwear? Can't you just SAY underwear?" Saionji: "No, cow, it's the bottle we got at Christmas." Jehanne: "You're going drinking with those samurai from Dragonsspine, aren't you? Watch out for the one with the beard - he's trouble. I swear he put something in the lemonade. I am NOT that cheap a date...."

......Saionji: "The young one with the goatee? He seemed so nice at the Teahouse." Jehanne: "No, the other one."

Made it home safely a little while ago. Feels good to be clean. We had high winds on Wednesday and everything I own is covered with Flour of The Desert.
I last saw Our Honorable Moderator yesterday afternoon. He can tell his own war stories, but I will say he told me the new tanto came in handy.
Kaga no Ryokai has some good news too. I will give him a chance to tell it (or rat him out if he doesn't).
Ran into some of the Kitemitsu at West Kingdom court - they had fought for us and were rewarded with a contract and pay.
More tomorrow, when I can see straight.

Oh I suppose I ought to let the cat out of the bag in entirety.
On Wednesday between the 2nd and 3rd rounds of the Outlands Prize Tourney my knight, Sir Haroun, took me on as a squire! I was taken totally by surprise, my preferred method of receiving news. In addition to a red belt I got a baby brother to boot. Mordrake the Obnoxious was squired immediately after me.
I'm off to perform more of the happy dance.

Omedatou gozaimasu, Kaga-dono. May I say that has to be the biggest, newest, stiffest looking red belt I have ever seen. ;D Which has the added benefit of shaking some of Atenvelt off your clothes. Especially after all that running you did in that res battle you described. ;-> My European alter ego, Jehanne de Wodeford, spent a significant amount of time doing laps around the war with the hurdy gurdy and George le Curieux, provoking smiles, questions and even a spontaneous bout of dancing in Merchant's Row by a couple who hadn't had enough at the Grand Ball the evening before. For reasons known only to the organizers, her period singalong class was not only scheduled at the same time as Known World Choir but directly NEXT to their practice. She glanced at the overcast sky, figured no one would collapse from heat stroke, and shepherded her class to a spot behind a bank of privies some 50 feet away so both groups could hear themselves think. The poetry jam class was only attended by three people, however, two of them were ladies I have corresponded with in the past. Luisach stunned the tabi off me by presenting me with a length of purple kumihimo braid - and offered two lines to finish a waka I did that were absolutely freakin' perfect. Hotaru is still trying to find her way in an SCA environment that appears to be hostile to her doing Japanese, but we chatted a bit and I suggested some reading for her to check out. I also ran into her again at Outlands Bardic on Saturday evening - she has a lovely singing voice, a great deal of enthusiasm, and I suspect she will go on to do very well with it as she develops a her repertoire. I was extra crispy by then because I LOST lyrics I should know. It is shameful and I realized it meant I should go back to camp and pound down a couple more cups of water before bedtime. I wore the new dan-gawari kosode on Saturday, an ensemble evidently so stunning it caused Our Moderator to nearly trip over his camp's fence marker when I finally located him. We got in a bit of chat time on our walk around Merchant's Row, though we never managed to locate each other later that evening. OK, by then I was in Europeans, but I have gotten pretty good at identifying eboshi profiles in the dark. He did find me Sunday before he left and we visited some more then. Sunday was old home week for me - I kept running into friends from my stomping grounds back east. Thirteen hours of freeway time later, I am back in the everyday world and I really need to blast out the door to work now. Saionji

A lousy photo of me, trapped behind somebody's dad during West Kingdom Court. At least my collars are not awry. Hopefully Mary will send me the ones she took of the new kosode back at camp..... Saionji

Not so bad ... you just had to crop it. I like the Kitemitsu sashimono behind you. It adds a nice touch.

Unfortunately, the face I live in tends to look a bit, er, cranky when I'm not actively smiling. Oy, such a punim. True. There were a couple of them standing nearby - as I think I mentioned, they'd fought alongside the West and were called into court along with some other units to be recognized. S.

S. except you have this little gleam in your eyes and it looks like you are trying not to giggle about something. I've seen that look on my sister in laws face when someone is pontificating pointlessly and at great length with a bit of toilet paper hanging out the back of their hose. What (or who) *were* you looking at? Mieka

But not the patented I'm-Trying-Not-To-Smile smirk that sometimes shows up in photos of me.
Maybe I was holding back an urge to whip that man's anachronistic ball cap off his head and run off with it. Even I am faster than a smoker who needs an Amigo cart......
But you didn't hear that from me.
