As usual, I forgot to take pictures. Well, I took pictures. Of someone else's A-frame for ideas, and of the squad area before it was finished. I have to finish the roll before I can get those. If they survived the heat. I hope they did.
Fought in Blood of Heroes, heavy. Lasted one round where I was fallen upon by a big guy whose weight caused my helm to put a couple small cuts in my forehead. Yeah, had to duck out because the blood got in my eye and I couldn't see and, well, I was borrowing my torso protection and it was white and blood stains, and yeah. People freaked and called a medic but really, all I needed was to be cleaned up and get a bandaid. Nothing serious. My squad mates avenged me, unnecessarily since he tripped and fell on me, but the thought is nice. I didn't get to see because people were too busy pressing stuff to my forehead for the blood. But hey, no internal swelling, because I got a nice big lump on my forehead for a couple days, no internal bleeding because it's been long enough that I'd be dead by now if that was the case, no concussion because I lost no time and had no nausea.
Hurt my right hand in prep work and set up and that is still bugging me. Someone suggested carpal tunnel. I don't know. I'm taking it easy on the hand, hopefully it'll get better in a week or so. Bump on left wrist from last post is still there. Still not causing problems. Pulled a couple things during tear down, they've mostly faded.
Other than the various set-up and tear down jobs I pretty much took it easy this year and took the time to enjoy faire. Bought another hat, this one's for shade not looks. Bought a set of matching daggers, green and gold, for my dagger baldric. Pirate party was a success, and apparently I make a good bartender and bouncer, we have five confirmed "kills" and a sixth seriously "wounded" who needed to be taken back to his camp before he passed out. Saturday parties around faire were incredibly mild. I was shocked.
Overall, a good time.
