Miscellaneous Updating Post - June Faire.

.....Did you know that there is a sequel to 'The Dark Crystal' in the works? 'The Dark Crystal' is one of my favorite movies, but I'm not sure that a sequel can even be done without the genius of Jim Henson.

.....You'd think that my first post after June Faire would be about June Faire itself. It probably should be while everything is still fresh in my mind. But I'm wanting it to percolate for a little bit before I write myself notes on what I saw. There was lots to observe. Mostly good, a little not-so-much. But it was definitely one of the better June Faires in terms of lay-out and camping.

.....Cleaned out Lobelia yesterday and am going to get her to her Storage Unit tomorrow. I think that I'm wearing out the patience of my neighbors. I have her as much over the curb as possible, but she still sticks out into the street quite a bit. :-)

.....Bunch of camping stuff still in the driveway. In the mad dash to get everything into the Baronial Storage Unit on Sunday, I still managed to bring home several tubs of Gold Key garb as well as a handful of miscellaneous Baronial items. One of these years I'm DETERMINED to ensure that nothing Baronial makes it into my garage after June Faire. :-) I can dream, can't I? :-)

.....Time to start gathering stuff together for An Tir / West War. I'm thinking that this weekend will be a major push to get the garage organized to the point where all the camping gear in located in one area. I'm pretty close actually. Between TBT and myself it is interesting just how much camping 'stuff' we own. Some of it is going to recycle. Definitely some of the carpets.

.....Went back to work today. Found out that I didn't miss a whole lot, if only because I'm still in Purgatory in order to get my qualification done. Although that didn't stop the Mid-Level Boss from poking at me to do other things for him 'under the radar of the Big Boss'. Sigh! But at least I'm almost done. Now if I could only clear the June Faire cob-webs out of my brain and remember all the information I was absorbing just BEFORE I went to June Faire, I'd be much better off.

.....Had a dentist appointment today as well. Kudos to a dentist who is fast and efficient. Even if his demeanor is on the quiet side. But the verdict was fast. Two Crowns needed pronto. One tooth is probably a total loss and will need to be removed before it shatters. Blech! But he did say that I had excellent oral hygiene. He said it several times. He had very little scraping to do. Wish that translated into more wholesome teeth.

.....I don't know how people are going to drag their rears to Honey War this weekend. I'm dog tired and I wasn't even in charge of anything at June Faire. Their Excellencies Cedric and Brighid are all ready to start packing up for a weekend of war. My body is not up to that challenge. Good Luck to them. :-)

.....Although I suppose that maybe I'll be wishing that I was at Honey War by this time on Saturday. This is the day scheduled as the Memorial Service for James Del Emrys (MKA James Howard). I've got to call over to the house and get the details, but I'm reluctant to make that call.

.....Due to the James Memorial preparations I ran into a couple of other High School friends in Facebook. Facebook is amazing me at the networking that it is doing. In High School I ran around with a Geek Squad, and on Sunday the last of the five of us checked in. Even more amazing considering how far flung all of us are. I'm hoping that sometime this summer I can get them all together into a reunion of some kind.

.....An Tir / West War is next in the queue though. The big ticket items are done. We have Biffies and Trash arranged. The site contract has been sent to the owner. Now it is just getting all the smaller purchases ironed out. I've decided that I want to be there. But TBT does not. So I'm now torn. I'll most likely go, but will miss her. But I'm determined to see if I can swing both of us being at July Coronation. Wish me luck.

.....Also gearing up to get our September Crown bid finalized and sent to Kingdom. I thought that things would come together fast after June Faire was over, but with the epic goodness that the new lay-out proved to be at June Faire this last weekend, I'm mulling over whether or not we need to site the bid in Port Gamble. Then I had another curve ball thrown at me. There is a possibility that the owner of the Port Orchard airport might relent a little and let us use the property for an event. Maybe even a Crown event. Just need him to commit to a date that would work for us.

.....Also need to nail down a new location for Business Meetings and Fight Practices.

.....Lots to do this summer. I'm happy that June Faire turned out as well as it did, but also glad that it is a done deal for this year. :-) Now to start the recruitment process for next year's June Faire Board of Director. :-)

.....Ooooo, the new I-Phones are looking pretty good now! :-)
