sff_corgi_ljSince Percival asked, I shall tell you a bit about the event. The Shire of Sangre del Sol is the SCA branch just north of my own group, but I'm practically a member of it anyway -- in fact, sometimes I do more Sangre stuff than Southkeep stuff.
(Note to self: DO THE BLUIDY CALENDAR!)
Ahem. Anyway, they do a bardic event every year - this was 'Courtly Love & Midnight Passions,' but by the time I got there, I didn't see much of anything like that. I had a late start because I had to feed the dogs (and I Don't Do Mornings); then I got halfway there (it's about a 90-minute drive) just to realise I'd forgotten something important. Arg.
So I got there around 15:00, alas. For reasons which escape me, it was a very small event; the event site is in the Shire of Sea March, but not as many of that group showed up as usual.
We still all had a nice time, though - mostly sitting and talking about anything and everything, with a few classes going on. Feast was well done, being 'hedgehogs' (a sort of large meatball) and a chicken-in-pastry, and yummy sauteéd apples for the sweet.
The event raised money for the maintenance of a Komodo dragon residing in Palm Beach County's Dreher Park Zoo. With only a couple dozen people participating, the shire collected over $200! Go, Sangre!
