Monday - Getting Things In Order.

[arontius]

.....Long day at work today. Although not nearly as bad as it could have been. I was able to access my e-mail a couple of times last week in Crane and so was able to stave off the most critical of crises happening while I was away. Today was just the clean up of the mess left behind. It also helped that there is definitely the signs of a vacation exodus at work. Lots of open spaces in the parking garage.

.....Which obliquely reminds me that if I want to take TBT and the Rhys Monster to the Shipyard Family Day in August, I've got to get them registered before Friday. Must remember!

.....Ran into Madrun this evening at Fred Meyers, where I once again wished that I was going with everyone to An Tir / West War. Sigh. :-) Oh, well, I need to stop torturing myself and concentrate on getting things done. I thought it was awfully nice of Madrun though to try and make room for me and my stuff in case I wanted to travel to the event with them.

.....But a three day weekend to get things done is rather appealing as well.

.....Lobelia is coming down to the house for some cleaning.

.....Must finish some circlets sitting on the workbench now.

.....Must finalize the Marketplace for July Coronation. The list will be completed. The mapping done. Confirmation Letters printed and mailed.

.....Must get with TBT and get our Coronation letters written. The twice yearly report is overdue. Need to get the letter of recommendations finished and sent out as well.

.....September Crown bid must be finalized. Which means I need to remember to e-mail Ivan of Druim Doineann and get the required written permission. I wonder if he is off to An Tir / West War this weekend? I'd better e-mail him tonight.

.....Would also like to clean out the garage, which is still feeling the affects of the June Faire hurricane. We'll need a bunch of the stuff piled there for July Coronation.

.....Mateusz saved us a day and time at the Poulsbo PUD Meeting Room for a Baronial June Faire meeting in July. Need to take a little time with TBT and Oliver to define the format so that it is as productive as possible.

.....I think there is a Birthday Bar-B-Que to fit into the weekend as well. It's going to end up being a busy weekend I see. Better put together my priority lists before I start forgetting too many things.

.....Hoping everyone has fun at An Tir / West War. The Barony is going to have its own encampment. If TBT and I were going to be there we'd be encouraging at least one potluck and a Bardic or two. I'm hoping that those who do go plan on doing something together as a group. But maybe it's a good thing they are left to their own devices. They may make it the weekend without having to hear the dreaded 'Baby Shark!' :-)

J.C. Marketplace.

The mapping and mark-up should be fairly straight forward. Where the actual help will be needed will be in meeting the merchants, showing them their space, dealing with their issues (as invariably some will not like their space and will be very vocal about it), and helping them get settled. That always seems to be one of the more difficult aspects of the job.

Thankfully though, we will not have a huge slog of merchants, and the lay-out is really straight forward.

Have fun in Ashland.
