Gulf Wars XX – One Week
Gulf Wars XX is just about one week away. Actually the official start of the war is on Tuesday, but I will be heading down on Saturday with a stop somewhere along the way to arrive on Sunday mid-morning. There are a few things going on Monday, including getting together for the opening ceremonies and the mounted royals processional, but more than that it allow me to get the camp all set up on Sunday afternoon instead of like the last couple of times I have been down where I arrived just about at dusk on Sunday evening and had the fun of then trying to set up a tent as the darkness fell. I am really looking forward to it though, as I am ready for the break from the mundane – forward that is except the long drive down and all the crazy stuff I need to get done between now and then actual departure time.
Eight Weeks until Gulf Wars
Do not look now, but as of today it is exactly eight weeks until the start of Gulf Wars XX. I have already been getting very exciting, but I am hearing things about it being even more grand than usual with it be the big twenty. I was thinking of maybe camping on the other side (not with the horses) but I am hearing that camping is going to be at such a premium that maybe that is not such a good idea. Anyway, eights weeks! WOW! I have so much that I got to still get done and I need to get both myself, armour, and the horses in shape for this… Anyone want to come help? Here are a few notes, along with the visibly more limited ambitions to finish up. By the way, who all is heading down from the Midrealm? What about folks I know from other Kingdoms? Anyone else bringing horses from Midrealm?
Pennsic Woes
Several things to post, but most of the potential readers are at Pennsic – which is where some parts of me would like to be. Anyway, just an update to let all know we are still alive.
To Do List – GW
I have this thing about lists, it gets me organized and a bit focused about accomplishing things on them in general. I have not had one concerning this kind of stuff and it shows. So, I decided to put one together. There are three major points looking forward that have things I need to get done during and/or for. So I am trying to break it down that way and I plan to come back and do check marks or color coding or something when I get things done and make some additional notes of it. May even do a few blogs of somethings with photos as progress occurs.
PENNSIC War – Day 2
The second day of the PENNSIC war was open field battles. We did one with Midrealm vs East and then switched up to do two of Midrealm & East vs everyone else – that is, if I recall it correctly. It was a lot of fun.
