I, Rickard and Maja will attend Gotvik's autumn feast this weekend. This has been a source of some anxiety. First, I had the idea that I should add a guard or something to my loose gown and wear it with the PoF kirtle. All I needed to do was open it up in the seams to make it possible to stick out a tit and nurse Maja. It would be comfortable and I have never actually worn it to an event. Wearing 16th century also feels much better in the SCA where quite a lot of people do so, than in Nordrike which has a much stronger focus on the middle ages and higher standards concerning authenticity (not that that would be a problem with the kirtle, but I always feel uncomfortable in renaissance clothing when everybody else are having medieval clothes, the aesthetics are so different). But I have been too lazy to do anything on the loose gown, so I will probably end up wearing this instead.
I have also been worried about how to get to the site (we don't have a car or driver's licenses)and the autocrat seemed a little unexperienced and couldn't give much answers. Finally, this evening, one day before the event a description of how to get to the site was posted on their web site and now after extensive mailing with the autocrat who, patiently if sometimes whimsically (stressed, no doubt) answered most of my questions, it seems that we are going to be able to go there just over the day. We will get there in the morning and leave around 11 pm, if somebody drives us to the bus stop, and this will be so much more comfortable than sleeping together with other people with a 5 months old baby. It will also mean that we will have sunday to do stuff at home, which is really needed.
Now that I have stopped worrying about that I can look forward to the event. My last attempt to go to an SCA-event was last year's autumn feast when I was too sick to enjoy anything and left very early, before the feast.
And while we're on the topic of SCA-events, I might be going to Nordmark's university in Stockholm in january. Depends a lot on my economy and on who's coming, I don't know that many people in SCA anymore.
