Good event

Spent yesterday at the "Snowed in at the Castle" SCA event. This was my favorite type of event: relatively small, lots of "unscheduled time" for socializing and storytelling. It was Very Good. Thanks for autocratting, [livejournal.com profile] tpau! The one sad note was that [livejournal.com profile] kestrell was feeling under the weather, and did not accompany me.

Given that I had done no particular prep work, I really got a large amount of storytelling in. I entertained His Excellency [livejournal.com profile] jdulac and some friends with cleverly-disguised previews from my upcoming seminar on The Matter of France, and also read them a bit of Huon of the Horn. I told some young ladies (whose names, alas, I forget) the stories of "The Man Who Was to Mind the House" and "Three Beds and One Cradle". And I told [livejournal.com profile] ladysprite the tale of Fiammetta, which generated much giggles and blushing :-)

Saw [livejournal.com profile] 43duckies at the event. She was, if not exactly doing *well*, at least doing better than she was the last time I'd spoken to her. She's struggling with a lot of issues, but at least has plans of attack now, as to how to conquer them. Getting out to the event and seeing people seems to have done her a lot of good.

The feast (by [livejournal.com profile] rufinia) was excellent. Yummy food, and lots of it. Well, except for the "Laurel Fritters", which were... very strange. But as they were mainly there as a joke, they did not put a damper on the rest of the marvelous food.

After the event, I ended up giving [livejournal.com profile] juldea a ride home. This occassioned two pleasant memories from my distant past. The first was being a charter member of The Felding Transportation Corps. Then, as we got closer to her apartment, I realized that we were taking almost the same route that I used to drive very late at night to visit my first significant lover, after closing time at the comicbook/gaming store I was working at. So after dropping her off, I wafted home in a pleasant haze of nostalgia.

So, I thought I wrote this up in my LJ before, but I can't find it with Google. It having come up in conversation recently, I am rewriting it.
