Hey Everyone!
So I might be a little behind, but I'm just discovering this live journal thing, and now that there is a Cynnabar live journal community! Cool! So I'm just saying "Hi", and who else is on this thing?

The Pennsic Gate
Pennsic
Pennsic! Pennsic! Pennsic!
'Tis the season for the for the Dragon and Tyger to do battle on those glorious fields, forests, hills and lagoons we call Pennsic, wherein the war is that which some cannot stop from thinking, and others are oblivious to the battles raging around them. We cannot be sure of many things, yet these things are seldom false:
there will be days hot enough that it feels you are merely bread and your tent an oven;
there will be nights where the air in your lungs seems to freeze the blood in your veins.
honorable combatants will fight and die and rise to fight again;
and there will be drumming in the background to carry one off to sleep, as gentle as spring rain.
And so good gentiles, though I leave soon I shaln't stay long,
yet I will raise a glass to you, and hope, next year,
we shall raise a glass there, together.

Siege of Talonvale
So, um, after six years of Cynnabar laying siege to Talonvale, the Roaring Wastes people decided to end our reign of terror that they may begin their own. Oh well, I guess these things happen.
For those who might be interested... there was pickup dancing! I wired my iPod into a radio and was a bit surprised to find seven versions of Amoroso yet no versions of Korobushka. Much thanks to the Saltatoris guild for providing the bulk of the impetus!
The Fencing was very good. The Bardic circle at night was quite wonderful. Next time, though, we must needs win the seige!
