Sakurai-dono, I don't see the East on the official event maps. Last year was the first year the West got on the map with its own land, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if the East is being granted land by one of the other participating kingdoms. If you can find out who your kingdom is allied with, that should narrow things down. Some. I'm gonna be walking a lot as it is anyway - my Western friends are on the opposite side of the battlefield from Rising Sun. Wow. As I was typing this, I saw the very first post in the thread at the bottom of the screen. My "what if?" is on a map. We're doing this, tomodachi. It's real now. I am incredibly grateful to Yagyu-dono for being our guy on the ground and making this happen.

Reminder, all, we invite all and sundry to celebrate the lunar New Year with us Thursday evening. Sake, tea, Japanese goodies and good company.
Speaking of which, a dear lady I know from CAID would like to join us and she has a dog she prefers not to leave unattended in her camp. Would anyone mind if she brought Bubbles along?

As for our lot, we don't mind "Bubbles" type folk in the least. "Bubbles" are good things. ;D Katayama no owner/uncle to six of Bubbles "cousins"

Saionji-hime, yes we *are* doing this
(woot)
[bows in Yagyu-dono's general direction and, or course Otagiri-dono for the list and the first post in this thread]
I confess, I'm not sure who the East is allied with this year. I just go hit whoever my knight tells me to hit.
Yes, HRM Icefalcon is gonna be there.....I missed his visit to my shire the last time he was king.
It's two weeks to the day until I get there and I have SOOOO much still to do.
That being said I'll be there even if I have to drag the old saxon garb along. I'm just hoping the blingy new hitatare kamishimo and the newly legalized kabuto are finished in time.
I can't wait to see you all
See you in a few days

When he was king first time around with Isabella, they gave Jehanne her Troubadour. I ran into him at my first Estrella after I moved out here and he not only remembered who I was, he was very pleased to see me, and every year invites me to play at his armor booth. Well, maybe not this year. Tell me about it. I finally found some good, high contrast yellow paint that doesn't vanish into the black cotton I'm using for our banners, but it's needed a couple of re-coats because of streaking, so that's taken longer than it should've. Likewise.

If I make it, will folks eat it?
I was thinking about making up a mess of chicken teryaki and/or salmon teryaki onigiri (rice balls) to keep in a cooler for lunches/snacks.
And how about Japanese chicken noodle soup for Saturday evening? (I'd say Friday, but I'm teaching a class until 6.)Slurpy soba goodness with chicken and shiitake mushrooms.

If I make it, will folks eat it? My initial reaction is to answer your question with a question... "Rhetorical question Hime?!?" ;D Sounds absolutely yummy!!! I strongly doubt you will have to look far for volunteers to sample the goodies. Katayama no bringing four bottomless pits

Sadamitsu-dono, this is not my first war, and I'm excited too! I think we're going to have a great time.

I'm building the gate this weekend, I have a question though. Would you like me to post pics of it when done, or be surprised by it when you see it at war? I thought about posting it so everyone would know where our camp was, but I do believe that Saionji-hime's banner does a wonderful job of that it's self so I don't think that is necessary.

How about posting it as a link rather than an image - that way, those who want to see it can, while those who prefer to be surprised won't see it...

Well i am home finally. And my mind is on estrella finally. UNFORTUNATELY due to a lot of work stress and my extensive traveling i forgot to sign up for prereg to estrella. I apologize to you all for this as i know it means a loss of camp space for everyone. Not too much of an issue for as i dont have ANY camping gear and cant affor to dish out several hundreds of dollars for it right now. So i will day trip the war and hope that i might be able to sit my chair in some corner of the camp anyway.
Also...if anyone is not agreeing with the weather, or whatever, they are welcome to come to my place and crash. my roomate is out of town for several weeks so i got 3 bedrooms to myself and the dogs. Mi casa es su casa.
I live less then 30 minutes from the war site. so it is a quick trip.

Tatsuyama-dono, I'm sure things will work out fine as Yagyu-dono has already reserved space and gotten it approved.
Looking forward to seeing you. Don't forget to bring your sewing project. ;-D
