Stephen *did* in fact come with us to Full Moon Drumming at Zebos Sunday night — and he shook his jinglies around the fire pit with the rest of us, to the vast delight of many (and the no-doubt horror of a few). We did indeed meet up with Roger and several other Festival organizers, and somewhere in the dancing and drinking got handed the “Pirate Camp” at the Festival. Yikes ! I mean, uh, “ARRRRR!!” We’ll see if we (“we” in this instance meaning most of the Thursday Night Aro Street dancers) can pull it off. We’ve only got three weeks…

In case y’all are thinking we’re just slackers, not updating the blog more often (we *are* slackers, but in addition to that…) here’s what our week looks like:

Monday: Beverley’s dance class. optional: gaming at the Ferryman

Tuesday: TBD, Optional: Huda’s dance class. This week we went and saw the Matrix, which um… well, if you haven’t seen it, I won’t spoil you. Very pretty, though, at least on first viewing.

Wednesday: Stephen plays Warhammer; I’ve got an African drumming class. Optional: SCA A&S night — this’ll be our first time going, so it may become regular. Last week of course was Guy Fawkes.

Thursday: Aro street for dancing and working on the show (“The Two Sisters”, written by Sybille, was going to be for Fringe, but we weren’t early enough grabbing a venue) Optional: Huda’s dance class

Friday: TBD, often rugby, until the World Cup wraps (Go Black!).

Saturday: TBD, last week was the A&P show, etc., this week… Stephen, what are we doing this week ?

Sunday: TBD, Optional: Archery, Fight Practice. This week is an organizational meeting for Pirate camp.

Coming up in November: Shearing at Willowbank Alpacas, closing on the house, moving, Thanksgiving — which we, in a fit of insanity, are planning to have at our new place, the day after we move in. Actually, probably two Thanksgivings, as we’ve been invited to another one being thrown by a somewhat larger chunk of the American ex-pat community… — and the Folklore Festival. Whee !
