Today I took a viking wire weaving class taught by Baroness Betha of the Aethelmarc. I got to make my own mini chain and make it into a nice bracelet to wear. She was very enthusiastic about all things wire! I'll be doing a feather length article to follow up on her and her work. In the meantime, check out her site: It's quite awesome!
Once the class ended, I made my Way to Caid to meet up with some people that my friend Kythera. Unfortunately, they were not in camp, but I gave my regards. I then caught a bus and took a tour of the site. I took some pictures along the way. The Heraldic Walking Tour is tomorrow and I can't wait to see what exciting pictures I get. Here are some that I took on the bus. Gotta love the ingenuity of the SCA!
After that, I made my way back through Merchants row back to camp. I stopped and checked out the tail end of a magician's show. The gentleman was a great sleight of hand artist, and quite entertaining. He had us all in stitches by the time he was done. I showed my appreciation by emptying my change purse.
After that, I got back to camp and made ready for Ansteorra's Chili Night. I had a hearty chili with beans, cheese and cornbread. There were lots of folks there and I enjoyed a nice conversation with Master Joseph and Lady Aasni. In fact, it was so enjoyable, I am now running behind.
Midnight Maddness is going on right now and I've got money burning a hole in my pocket. Off to go spend!
:) You must have gotten the beans added or the veggie chili. TRUE Ansteorran chili has no beans. I am glad you enjoyed it tho. I really enjoy seeing everyone who comes through camp.
ReplyDeleteI did get the beans added on to my chili. I like beans. I grew up with them. :)
ReplyDeleteThe cornbread was also quite delicious! Didn't have the courage to try the jalapeno bread, though.
My thanks to the Kingdom of Ansteorra for their generosity. :)
