Pennsic pictures

[cellio]

I have (finally) posted my Pennsic pictures. (And then Picasa died and took that album with it. :-( )

A few selections below the cut:

galeran and his group performed in my camp one night:

Teribus is new to Pennsic, I think. I've been playing their CD all week in the car.

Joint choir/consort performance (photos by tangerinpenguin):

I tried my hand at night-time photography sans flash. This was during midnight madness in the market. I still have a lot to learn, but I thought this one cleaned up ok:

I just like these clouds:

Finally, a mystery. John Michael Thorpe, a merchant, had with him a sixteenth-century printed book (a travalogue) that ended with the following page. He thinks the capitalized letters mean something, but as of when I talked with him, no one he'd talked with (including me) had been able to parse anything meaningful out of it. (All of the affected letters are valid components for Roman numerals, but we couldn't take it farther than that.)

Thanks for sharing these! It's the best one I've seen of Sparky in her Heian garb so far, even with the shades. ;>

The wwloom one is nice too; I didn't manage to get up to that display this year.

What is the "tapestry" all about? Is that a painted windwall, or is it embroidered, or what?

I have two other pictures of Sparky; this seemed the best of them to me. I can email all three to you if you'd like.

I wasn't sure whether to identify you folks in the caption, especially since you're using an obscure name here (so I didn't want to be the one to connect names and faces, just in case you had a particular reason for that). How would you like me to label that one? (And you'll have to remind me of her Japanese name, if applicable; I can only remember that it resembled food to this gaijin. :-) )

The "tapestry" is actually painted (I should have called it a banner; dunno why I didn't). It's household heraldry, made by dragonazure, and I promised him a picture. It's not done yet, he says, but I liked it anyway.
