What a weekend! (Amtgarding, ETC)

OKAY
So I finally got to go to an Amtgard Midreign. It was a ton of fun!
It was really immersive to be completely honest. Our phones had went on the fritz Thursday and it was GREAT.
We really got to get into the whole camping and fighting thing.
Thursday night we got there around 10 or 11. Yeah. At night. Thankfully we had a full moon and putting up the tent was pretty easy. So we erected our tent. Did a spot on job as well. Laid out our bedding items and settled in for what had to be the COLDEST DAMN NIGHT I HAVE EVER SLEPT OUTSIDE DURING.
It really probably wasn't that bad. But we were very under prepared for it due to funds and such. We had frost on top of our covers and inside the tent. Luckily they had a small space heater on the campground's bathrooms and that provided a nice warming up Friday morning.
The rest of the weekend was more or less a blur of sleeping on the ground, fighting on the ditch field, staying up way too late around a camp fire, sharing more booze than I've ever known could be passed around. Being offered plenty of good food. Good drink, and good friends. I'm personally not much of a combatant in Amtgard, and those who are more power to them. But fighter, sewer, crafter, comedian, medic, cook, or what ever. Whatever you are, who ever you are I honestly think there's something there for everyone to enjoy.
But enough about that.
I am dead dog tired from all of this and am going to take a quick break and be back to the computer for a little more socializing and perhaps some STREAM SKETCH COMMISSIONS.
So, keep an eye out around 7:30-8:00pm Central time for me to open up a stream for a few hours. Firstly I'm going to go take a bath.

Wars are fun- but I'm no longer within easy traveling distance of the weekend long events.
Of course, my own fave is SCA.
