Darach Anniversary/Altavia Equestrian (05/15/10)

This past weekend was Darach Anny/Altavia Equestrian (also the debut of the boyfriend's new haircut, the advent of which was the cause of much bemoaning and suffering on my facebook wall by the female population of my flist... poor ladies. I still love him, though).

First of all, I have new drills! The Angry Druids drill now has part two, which resolves my off-balance problem (although it introduces some new footwork complications). And lo, there were also large coasters. That one should be fun, once I figure it out.

Secondly, fencing was not terribly productive, but still satisfying and fun! Died a lot courtesy of Don Eogan and Edward, but I knew why I died and that was all good. Laertes mentioned that I was much more aggressive than usual against Edward, and I knew it was because I'd fought him a lot in the past, was more comfortable, and knew that I wouldn't have a prayer if I didn't take the initiative on him.

Thirdly, I think children under 6 should be banned from SCA events entirely and forever! If there hadn't been so damn many ADORABLE BABIES at Darach, I totally would have been more productive. Yeah. Yeah, that's it.
