[SCA] Pennsic planning

[cellio]

Pennsic starts in about two weeks. If you're going and you don't mind sharing: Where are you camping, and where else will you be findable? When are you arriving? What fun things are you planning to do? (And, if there's any chance I haven't connected LJ names and SCA names, what's your SCA name?)

I plan to arrive Thursday of the first week and will be camping with Polyhymnia (part of Debatable Lands), in block N10 on Cariadoc's Path between Brewers and Chandlers. (Look for the house.) I'm generally in camp late morning/early afternoon and around dinner time, often later too (but might try to make it to more of the night-time dancing this year). I plan to be at the performances by I Sebastiani, I Genesii, Known World Choir, and (I hope -- cooking that night) Debatable Choir. I will also be at AEthelmearc Court and Johan's memorial. Shabbat plans for the middle weekend are unmade at this time. Other activities to be worked out (classes, shopping, visiting friends, etc). I'm leaving mid-day on the final Friday.

(Thanks, kfitzwarin, for the idea.)

Last year one of the local Giant Eagles had both Empire chicken and Aaron's beef. I usually wimp out and go the veg/dairy route as much as possible, with maybe some pre-packaged lunch meat for Shabbat. (Will you be on site for the middle Shabbat, or are you arriving after?)

We're actually coming up August 9, so we'll be there the intermediate shabbos. Still haven't decided whether we'll be there for the last shabbos.

Cool. If you don't mind the low-key approach (cold foods etc), please consider coming for Shabbat lunch.

For the last couple years I've been leaving on the final Friday, and I find that much better than staying through and watching the camp disappear around me while I can do nothing. But being local means this is less of a hit for me than it is for you, so I understand the motivation to stay. (Does Shabbat in Pittsburgh before returning to Cooper's Lake to pack up work?)

Well, maybe this year I'll actually meet you- we run in to each other too often. Liz will be with us, and I think we'll be showing up around 8,9th too. I have a resuply coming in just before shabbos, if you ned anything fresh from NYC. (open offer, cellio)

Thanks! If your supplier could bring a loaf of challah for me that would be wonderful; I worry about what I'd be able to bring wilting. (I usually fall back on pita, which has a longer shelf life, but challah is better!)

If there's anything less perishable that you'd like me to pick up for you in Pittsburgh, please let me know. (Wine?)
