...but we're doing Pennsic again! Finally! Several years of the plague, and very few events, but we're making it happen this year. :) The big thing we're doing is buying a new tent this year. We have a really nice one, but it's circular, and not great for warm weather as it has no windows or large openings to allow for air flow.
As of right now, I've been working on drafting a packing list. Once we have the tent and have set it up, we'll have a better idea of how much stuff will fit inside, and what all we need to pack. We may wind up borrowing a trailer from my dad, too, if necessary. We're gonna do things in style, this year!
Last time we went to Pennsic, I made a list of things we should do differently the next time we went, so I'm going to be using that as my guide for what projects to do this year. The main thing is going to be new garb, though, as neither of us has much that's suited to the high temperatures of summertime in Pennsylvania. To that end, I've already ordered some new linen, and will be making a few short sleeved tunics for Norr, and at least one dress for myself. I also ordered some handkerchief weight linen for underclothes and veils, that sort of thing.
I think, after garb, my next biggest goal for this year is improving our encampment. We've had a very rudimentary, mostly mundane, setup for all the years we've been in the SCA, and it's time to step it up. Solar lights for around the camp, better shade situation, a proper table to eat meals at, that kind of thing. Some decorative elements, too, I hope.
Until next time!
