Thursday was hectic… Shopping during the day for all the bits I needed to get before Spring war, and then Dinner with a friend, Fighter Practice, and meeting friends and driving them arround at night

I picked up from his place (and saw the extremely cute , she smiled and nodded… I did the same, too lost for words to say much), and drove him over to Will’s Country Mansion. After a beer or two, I finally got home at about 2:30am, in bed by 3am… Hmmm… not good for getting up early and heading off to Spring War…

Ahhh… Well the drive up there was uneventful, picked Jan up from the Station and headed up there, met Will and breifly on the road… Got there around 2ish, and started setting up.

I was there… Now I just had to get Authorised, good thing the Archers battles wouldn’t start until after 1pm on the Saturday…

Spring War is this coming weekend, and I am really looking forward to it. What I’m looking forward to most is trialing the “BattleCam” Video Camera that I have put together and battle hardened. If it all goes well, there should be lots of video of ’s and ’s backs, as I hide behind them advancing up the feild.

In other news, it seems that the Baron approves of my attempts to get a regular IKAC shoot going in Rowany, and is keen to see that happen. It’ll be great to be able to post some more scores from Rowany. I have contacted the ‘Keeper of the Lists’ about possibly having a shoot in the First week of December also, so if everything goes well, we’ll have two opportunities to greatly increase Rowany’s renoun amounst the Known World’s Archers.

Well, plans for a regular Rowany IKAC shoot are moving forward.

It’s looking like it’ll be starting on the 5th of November at the moment, though thats still not official. Still need to make a way to mark out a safe field, and also make a 60cm+ target butt. We’ll get there. Thanks to Fitz. ;)

A friend of mine took me to my first SCA event when I was 18, It was festival, just for the Market day, but I was kinda hooked. I loved it, and was so disapointed when we had to leave the site as the sun was setting… When I got home, I was thinking of all the fun stuff I would like to do…

I had a Device in my head, one that I really liked, it was similar to the one I’m currently in the process of registering, though instead of the the 3 arrows, there was a sun with wavey rays, 8 of them, and the field was a gyrony of eight sable and gules, not whats currently shown. Anyway, my SCA adventure was short lived, as the following year I moved to the UK for 2 years, and spent alot of time travelling, drinking, and working… and was so stupid that I didn’t get into any of the re-enactment societies over there…

Now that I have rejoin the SCA fold, I can resume work on getting everything sorted. I’d like to say starting with registering my device… But as the Drakkar website (http://www.drakkar.org.au/) shows, I kinda started elsewhere. ;)

Well… Concidering that my usual blog (http://syridian.com) hasn’t been updated for over a month… I really should be adding to that… But having this LJ, I thought I might play and find out what this LJ thing is all about…
