Imperfect, but pleasing

A good description of the day as a whole, and the play in particular.

Got some socializing and dancing accomplished, all of which was to the good. Even talked kestrell into dancing the Black Allemagne with me. She was extremely nervous, but no worse in practice than a typical novice dancer. Now that she's occasionally coming to dance practice, perhaps she will learn more dances. I think Allemagnes in general are probably best for her, as they are relatively simple, and don't usually involve long separations from your partner.

Dayboard was scrumptious and ample. Thanks elizabear!

I displayed some of my Coney-Catching books at the A&S table. Brought some extras to possibly sell, but didn't actually sell any. Then again, was too busy socializing to make any great effort to do so. Speaking of the A&S table, I finally saw rufinia's Byzantine outfit. Most resplendent!

Still a little unsure about my "place" in Carolingia these days. Given how little storytelling I've done of late, "Alessandro the Storyteller" doesn't seem quite right. Carolingia is still the source of my social circle, but I feel somewhat outside it of late. [See also siderea's recent post about "insiders" vs "outsiders".]

Ran into Gareth Hinds in the audience of the play. He was formerly an artist at Looking Glass, and then Irrational, before leaving to do comic books full time. He's now working on a comic book version of King Lear, and was here with his sketch book to do some Shakespearean studies.
