collwen | Hrim Schola and planning a new event

Hrim Schola went well. Will all the other stuff happening (a 1st time Baronial investiture in NJ, Ice Dragon out in Aethlemarc) we only expected 60 people, but got 90. I mentioned to the autocrat that I'd be interested in co-autocrating next year/two years. I'd like to see a year with a music track and a year with a fencing track- and it would be more likely to happen if I had a hand in planning the event.

Dinner afterwards was a group trek to the Eveready diner in Hyde Park. The food was good as ususal.

It was great to see everyone. Brid wasn't at Snowflake the week bfore because she was at Northern Lights. And I'll get to see her at Mudthaw next weekend.

During the Library Crawl at Thora's the next day, I got to show Brid the little I'd done in pulled thread. She's more of a structural person in terms of fabric pattern than a color person, so I think it's something that will interest her at least a little. She also has an interest in Victorian clothes and this was a technique used then too to imitate lace.

Also during the crawl, a discussion started about guild meetings. It started because all the guild meetings at Hrim Schola are at the same time, and there were people trying to get to multiple meetings at once.

So, a Guild day event was discussed as a possibility. I'm going to see if I can find a location for it. I even have a name for it- the Guild Fair(e). We'd need a large room where each guild can set up a table/display to show their stuff to potential new members and hang out with each other, then a couple of rooms to just run Guild Meetings (where we can do something like avoiding putting fiber/fabric related ones against each other).

After the crawl I wasn't feeling well. It was the "if I don't get some rest now I'll really get sick" sort of feeling. So I called up
