Every month I have to do the newsletter for my SCA Barony. I generally can get it put together easily enough, but there’s always last-minute stuff to handle. That eats up time, especially since I also have to email things and update the website and so forth. I’m gonna miss/not miss doing it when I train up my replacement this year, but it’s time to hand off the job; I’ve been doing it since before the pandemic, which is a while for a baronial office. It’ll be nice to take a little time off before I go find something else to do in the SCA.

“Quatrain: A Hymn for Tourneys.”
This is something I did for the SCA about twenty years ago. I rediscovered one of my old poetry folders, so… :shrug:
Event all done!
Went back this morning to make sure my part of the site was broken down properly. Which is was… possibly because I went back. It’s when you don’t check that the problems start. The whole event went well, which is always nice – in fact, it’s the goal. Now I can be less responsible for a while…
And now, a nap.
Looonnnng Day.
A productive one, but long. And hot! Extremely hot, with a side of muggy. It’s a good thing I don’t do events like this every weekend.
Not done yet, though. Breakdown tomorrow! At least I don’t have to do all that much.
Skill Tree goes to Pennsic, City of Tents.
Gonna try to vendor again this weekend.
My wife and I have an SCA event, and Lord knows MORGAN BAROD is exceptionally SCA-friendly. So much so, I’m mildly surprised nobody I know personally has ever called me on it. I put a lot of people’s grandkids in that book. My wife’s just going to sell some of her jewelry, to make room in the house so that she can make more jewelry. It should be a thing.
Anyway: I hope it doesn’t rain this time!

No, really, I did work today.
It’s just that most of it had to do with revisions to my SCA barony’s website. We’re overdue for an update, and my position (Chronicler) means that I need to be kept in the loop. Which is funny, because I still have difficulty taking seriously the thought that people might want to take me seriously…
Facebook is still down.
I think I may some comments about this at the next SCA baronial meeting. It’s not anybody’s fault on the baronial level, or even really the kingdom’s: but we’re far too reliant on Facebook. And I got a newsletter due tomorrow.
It was a good event, despite the lack of zebras.
A beautiful day and everything went off without hitches, which is always nice. I wasn’t doing as much to help out as I usually try to, for various reasons, but I still managed to be useful, here and there. Oh, and I got a baronial award for service! That was very cool, and I like the enamelwork on the medallion.
But no zebras, except for the ones we brought with us. But that’s okay. They weren’t preregistered.

It’s now officially a light content, zebra-heavy weekend posting schedule.
Got clearance to get on with things, so that’s what we’ll be doing now. Gotta run around, pick stuff up, get over to the site to help with setup, come back, find my garb for tomorrow, and get to bed earlier than is my usual wont. And after that… well, it’ll be a while before my SCA barony has another event, so I can relax.
