alexxkaySpent 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]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tpau! The one sad note was that 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 Excellencyjdulac 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 ladysprite the tale of Fiammetta, which generated much giggles and blushing :-)
Saw43duckies 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 (byrufinia) 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 givingjuldea 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.
