rivendellroseWent to July Coronation this weekend, somewhere down past Yelm. The site was huge, and our group was camped WAY at the other side of the site from the eric and court and all, which was kind of annoying. That would have been fine, if it hadn't been so HOT. CT's little thermometer hit it's maximum at 99.9, and I heard somebody else say it was 102, around about 5 in the evening.
The last royal court of Davin and Groa was supposed to start at noon. In true SCA fashion, an announcement went out delaying that to 2:30. Then, things got bad. Court didn't start until 4:30. The part we were all waiting for (Badger becoming Black Lion) didn't happen until.... geez, probably 7 or 8, I think. Misty and Halla and I went wading in the river, though, which was probably the main thing that kept me from passing out from the heat. And then we had dinner, which was nice, and I set up the borrowed tent and went to bed.
Everything today went on-time, since the new king and queen (Gunnar and Gabrielle) seem determined to keep things prompt and on-schedule. I like them already. We packed up, I wandered merchant's row for a while, and then went out to Mexican on the way home. Then I enjoyed a shower, checked up on the internet, and chatted with Derek, Kate, and Feylene.
Only one hour of work tomorrow, and none on tuesday... hopefully I'll be able to get some stuff done, and maybe rent a movie, too. I want to start painting more charters, too, like I did for Tacky Tourney... looking at the scrolls at Coronation reminded me of how much I want to do the scribal stuff. If anything is my calling in the SCA other than just hanging out with my friends, then this is it. And I've got so much time right now... I could get one or two scrolls done no problem, I bet.
Saw a bunch of shooting stars last night, too, and the Milky Way. I so love camping....
