Pre June-Faire Jitters.
Jun. 1st, 2012 07:34 am.....It's Friday morning of June Faire. I'm within a half hour of heading to site. I'm sure there are ten million things that need to be done between now and tomorrow, but I can't seem to think straight at the moment. :-)
.....The pack-up went well on Wednesday. We loaded the U-Haul in just over an hour. The truck we ended up renting was a behemoth! They didn't have our regular 17' truck available, so we were given the 24' diesel. It made me a little nervous driving about town. Not to mention the narrow roads of the storage unit complex visited to pick up bottled water for the weekend. I had to perform one of those 300 point turns to get it in and out of the complex. Eeep!
.....Thursday started off cloudy and cool. Everyone who arrived on site was a little sluggish. But by 11AM we were rolling with the stuff. By 4PM a lot of the infrastructure was already set up, which was nice. The set up today for us should be fairly straight-forward, allowing us all to deal with the 'surprises' that always seem to come up on June Faire opening day.
.....I still have to put together the Baronial Chairs. Then clean out the U-Haul and get it parked down in the Mill Lot. Then I need to get Lobelia all set up and decked out. Then go through the lists of stuff we need for Courts tomorrow and make sure I have everything I need. TBT will be finishing off cloaks and day shades today, and then arrive on site later.
.....Just not feeling totally 'with it' though for some reason. Need to see if I can get an attitude adjustment sometime later today. Maybe a Quad, Vente, Sugar Free Vanilla, Latte, will help do the trick. Just need to wait for the clothes to finish drying.
