Y'know what's kinda sad? It's only February, and I'm already itching to go places. Especially Pirate's Gathering and the Oregon Country Fair.
Re: Pirate's Gathering: The ship I'm a member of, The Leo's Pride, camps with the rogues anyway. So while my friends can't camp on the actual "ship" (aka the area marked off as our ship), they can be pretty dang close. I thought we were part of the Castillian Alliance, but we're not. Even though many of our ship's members came from Alliance ships. Even though our captain's lady, is either the captain or first mate of a ship in the Alliance.
Anyway. I need to get my pictures of last year's Gathering up on the newer liquidaffinity picture site, so I can show you guys. I'd love for lots of friends to come along. If for no other reason than to see you guys in "garb." Heh. I can loan some of my stuff out, but I'm not sure who would fit what. Chemises are pretty much one-size-fits-all. I only have one seperate skirt (that'll change soon). Bodices are the tricky part...and none of mine really fit anymore. I have some somewhere that have always been too big (I got'em secondhand). I'm hoping that Katrina finds an old one of hers that's too small for her now, as it might fit me. Hopefully it's a true wench/barmaid style, the ones I have are relatively conservative and/or squish me pretty flat. I have that red corset I bought myself for my birthday, I could get away with that over a chemise with a skirt, especially if I make the neckline loose and yank it down low. Not terribly accurate, but the Pirates are notorious for their lack of accuracy anyway. Welcome to piracy: aka, let's piss off the rest of the SCA!!
If any of the clothing stuff confused the crap out of you, Renstore might help you out a bit. I have their Irish Dress in purple, and their long chemise.
Heh. Trying to imagine a few of my female friends in rennfaire/SCA/pirate getup is really freaking funny. It seems like the visual equivalent of a non sequitur.
Just a reminder, it's Memorial Day Weekend. Please plan accordingly. :^)
Aaaaand then there's the Oregon Country Fair. I have pictures galore of last year over here, and no; it's not just naked people and pot. There's none of any in my pictures as far as I know. I'd love to get a rough estimate of who wants to go to OCF, it's more fun to camp in a group. Makes it easier to figure out food, obviously, as well.
*le sigh* Paganfaire is my first real taste of the festival life, and that's March 11th. I don't know where it is this year, but I'm looking forward to seeing![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
arielrose and Heather Alexander perform, and seeing people I haven't seen in ages, and poking around at all the booths. It just makes me all itchy for all the fun stuff that happens in the summer!
Okay, bedtime.
EDIT: FaerieWorlds! Joules Graves is going to be there on Saturday, and I haven't seen her in years. OMG. That'll bring back memories of my tree-sitting days. So will Casey Neill. "Hooray for the riff-raff!"
But Trillian Green is playing Sunday night. Is anybody planning on staying until Sunday evening? :^( I wanna see them so bad...
