I'm the first one to depart. I hit the road from New London, CT tonight at about 8pm if not earlier. My squire-in-arms drives at about 90-100 the whole way (he was a cop, he doesn't care) which should get us to the nether reaches of PA in about 8 hours, so we'll get there for sunrise over the battlefield. *cue dramatic music* I'm going to be toast tomorrow at this time.
Richter and Luna will be joining me and the rest of the household(s) On Wednesday. The first battle I'm fighting in is next Saturday when we attempt to recreate the Storming of La Rochelle from the 1570s, and the war official begins on Sunday the 7th.
I've never done Pennsic for the full 2 weeks, I expect hilarity to ensue. Richter and I have our full on, 10+yards of linen Roman garb for at least one occasion of being Imperial snobs, and I cannot confirm nor deny a day of greasy Salazorian persona happenings as well.
I just have a couple more things to do before I depart. Expect mobile updates and pics when possible. Dok Howl will receive as many filthy pictures of my feet as I can manage if we get a good mud pit going. Ooorah.
Onward to victory, spags!
I expect horror, mirth and fapagge to go along with the spaggotry.
HAVE FUN STORMING THE CASTLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just had a wave of "Oh shit, I'm tired." Hit me in the face. Shakes and all.
Not. Good. I need to get a couple 5Hr Energy things before we go. I should do that now.
THE FIRST TRANSPORT IS AWAY
Fuck shit up!
In allentown pa area. Half way there. Bout 4-5 out. No serious delays yet. Tongue numb from 5hr energy fuck yeah!
An hour out!
Richter and Luna joined me here on Wed. War started today. Have new Viking boything. Feets are FILTHY!
East leads Mid 2-1 after first day. Woot.
:thumb:
Threads like this make me wish I had the health and the money to get into the Plainsman/Mountain Man scene.
You guys have a blast.
6-1 East Kingdom. We won all the war points today and get to have pudding.
having fun. rocking the various battles. pants not required.
East won 19-4 over Mid. Salazorian garb worn in woods battle. Clan Sith transport located approx 50mi from NJ border. See you all at home.
I'm home, showered, and cranky. Unpacking and doing anything physical can wait until tomorrow. Goodnight.
Welcome back, guys! Hope you had a smashing (and hacking and bludgeoning and dismembering, etc.) time!
Hell, when you guys are all rested up, hit me up. I wouldn't mind listening to some war stories over a few beers,.
RIchter and Luna will be back tomorrow night. My squire-in-arms was fed up, and since he was my ride, we left last night and drove straight through.
Pics are getting uploaded to Facebook as we speak. I'll post some later, including our Salazorian garb.
We are clear and at a hotel with the est of our camp for the night. Everyone is enjoying real showers, Mexican and booze later.
I am relaxing now, and Mad Max 2 is on, appropristely enough.
Kind of annoyed that Tristan didn't want to crash at the hotel with everyone, but whatever. I'll see you spags tomorrow. MacMuffin and Snorri are stopping in for dinner if they can before they head to the Cape.
Back, all safe and sound. Petting the cats and getting food.
Awesome Pennsic, most laid back I've had in years.
I've never seen two guys eat one of my vats of pasta entirely, a full bowl of instant pudding and cookies that fast. Holy shit. You'd think they didn't eat for 2 weeks, and I know DAMN WELL that they were fed well!
McMuffin: "OH MY GOD, REAL FOOD."
Me: "WTF, you just had a solid week of practically gourmet food in camp!"
Oarstroker: *takes bowl of pudding and locks himself in other room with it*
McMuffin: "WHAT THE FUCK?!"
Oarstroker: "VICTORY IS MINE!"
...I lived with these men for 2 weeks.
I told you all that we were going Salazorian into the woods battle.

Those costumes are FABULOUS.
Awesome!! You're all looking great :D
This is us looking a bit more...normal during the field battle. The other guy in the tabard is our Baron.

(http://i.imgur.com/uCCpU.jpg) I used Richter's cymbal buckler. It resulted in a smashing good time.
:lulz: People LOVED that thing. Or cringed at the sound of it. The king approved.
It was cymbal-ic of our triumphs over the Middle Kingdom, after all.
Though I have to admit, my buckler work is usually sub-par because I'm used to fighting offensive parry, but I did pretty damn good with it. (That and I wanted to make noise.) Daggers just do nothing in melee.
Richter looks like a motha fuckin BOSS
looks like he belongs on the cover of some trashy romance novel

:spittake:
Fuck, Cram. :lulz:
An awesome time was had by all. Well, all but the Middies we crushed under our heels, anyway.
