Ahoy Maties - Pirate Weekend - Sunday
Sep. 23rd, 2002 12:56 pmSunday was gross weather! I was already tired and ragged out before getting up on Sunday. I wasn't even interested in breakfast (Not a good sign). I did get some soda (which I still haven't finished), a doughnut, and some ramen noodles. Did lots of lacing (killed 2 laces) and was running late for dance (as in I didn't finish stretching due to not having time after finishing getting dressed). I didn't dance bear since Joe B's partner wanted to dance but I worked with Christa on it some.
I had a very small child in Over-Under-Weavy-Thing who got it really quickly (as in that you go over-under-over-under) but needed a lead on the casting (I just went with her). Then came "Suicide Promenade" and Cathy got tired of playing Maiden Lane so she started playing other things like Nunesuch and Maltese Bransle. I admit that I don't remember hearing Nunesuch but I do know I heard Maltese. The problem is when they switched music it really threw me since I tend to listen for the musical cues for some pieces of the dance, esp. at Mach 12. Fall down, go collapse.
Diane showed up right after that and ended up leading the Sausage Line (which I stood out of, still no seats). She really wowed some of them with her skill since they didn't expect it of her. Then down to the Costume House to strip off the bloomers. Chris showed up and noticed how hot I was (even my hands were warm). So I sat for a bit. Went up to eat lunch and watch the lawn-bowling, then wandered to gatehouse to watch some more shows. One of the YAEs got hurt and they were changing blocking on the show on the fly (he hurt his ankle and is one of the leads). Afterwards I helped him down to the costume house and sat with him (threatening to sit ON him if he tried to go to Chess Game) until it was time for him to leave.
I got to see Anne make up with Chris for their fight (he had allegedly called her a dirty cow but it turns out he was innocent and she got proof of it). She nearly bowled him over with her apology. They are fun to watch together.
Dinner was a bit strange with 8 people (I really find that I am more comfortable with 6 and under, with 8 you end up with 2-3 conversations and I keep getting confused as to what is going on). Some stuff was rehashed and some venting was done but it is nice to relax.
Next Sat. is the on-site King's Keg which is still being held in Bill's honor. The Otters have a tough choice to make since that is invasion (easy choice for me).
Darcy sang the Boatman's song which got some weeping going in the p ub. Then we raised a glass to Pirate King Rex and sang Myst Covered Mountains (Pyrates & Crimson Pirates on stage) - when Tim called for the final chorus "once more for Rex" I lost it (I had *barely* been holding it before then). Some of those lines were really hitting me but some of it can be explained by exhaustion.
Got to bed fairly early and had nearly 8 hours of sleep (YES!). I guess I should actually eat my lunch.
