mikeknAh, another weekend come and gone. I know it was busy, but I don't think I got a lot done. Friday we had dinner with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
beckishadow and Rowan (who needs to get her own LJ ;) ) After dinner, violet_amy went off to run some errands and I don't recall what I did.
Saturday I was up early packing the car for an SCA demo we were doing for the Cub Scouts. I was running late, but I got up there and got set up before everything started. I then spent the next 5-6 hours sitting in the sun teaching and playing games. Actually more teaching then playing which is what I prefer for demos - if I'm playing it is harder to teach other folks who may stop by. Gave away a lot of game rules, all of which have the shire website on them. I should take a look at web traffic for the week before and the week after the demo and see if there is any difference. Several folks were interested in making their own boards, and more then one scout leader thought they would make a good pack activity. The only downside of the demo was that I managed to burn the backs of my hands pretty badly - thankfully my hat and clothes protected the rest of me.
After the demo, I went tomath5 and Philly's birthday party with beckishadow. violet_amy was at a party for her brother, and joined us a little while later. It was good to see lots of the folks there, and chat with a few of them, but I was pretty worn out. I left a bit before the party ended - came home and collapsed into bed.
Sunday morning (and afternoon) I spent puttering around on the web. I added a few games and a dozen or so pictures to the BoardGameGeek database. Amy slept in pretty late, so I didn't try and have anyone over for gaming.
That evening we went out to dinner at Kildare's, and followed it up with seeing Pirates 2. I know a lot of folks are complaining about the movie, but I enjoyed it quite a bit. A good, fun action flick. I hadn't heard about the scene after the credits so we didn't stay for it, but I caught it on YouTube later.
Ahead is another busy week. I've stopped fencing until I can get my allergies under control, but I've still got two archery practices (too much exertion makes it hard to breath), one brewers guild meeting, the Rasputina concert and the Cirque show this week. Hmm... but my Friday night looks free.
