Potrero War and such

Greetings friends! I know this blog has been boring lately. Most of the Kegs End posts are now on Facebook. Ah well.
Potrero War is coming up. Grand Outlandish is coming up. I suspect this might be the first year that Kegs End is not at Grand Outlandish, as the main mover for attendence, Sir Sean, has moved to Ansteroa. And he will be a new father by then.
A small contingency of KE folk will be at Potrero War (Califia). It should be a lovely time. Camp Sensitive rises again!
Estrella War was lovely. It was at a new site at Schnepf (sp?) farms. Much smaller than wars in the past. Small enough, I would think, that it could return to Estrella Mountain Park, except that I think the park service doesn’t want the SCA there any more. At any rate, next year it will be at the same spot, but not at the end of March (which had hot weather). It will be the last weekend in February! The weather should be lovely. I can’t wait.
I hope you are all well and possibly drunk.
Cheers!

congratulations and news

Congratulations to Sir Sean and Lady Elaria on the reading of the bans. The couple plan to be married on February 25th. They are also moving to Ansteora (Dallas) for Sir Sean’s work. They had a going away party (Dec 3), at which another momentous occassion happened: Baron Sir Zippy married his Baroness. Congratulations to all the happy couples!
Congratulations to Lord Wolfgar. He received a Gold Boar (award for service) from Baron Zippy at Southern Crusades. Well deserved!
Cheers!

Another FOKE off to Valhalla

Sad news family, David was one of a kind. For those who don’t remember him, he had a heart attack a few years ago at Estrella and he played the drum.

Subject: [Tir Ysgithr] Sad News from Dragonwing Thunder

We have just learned of the passing of Lord David Bucannan,David Gauf, on the 13th of September. We had not seen or heard drom Dave since the Uber Demo and had become quite concerned and had been trying to reach him seeing as he had a heart condition. This afternoon Kendrick talked to Daves mother and found out Dave passed in his sleep on a camping trip up in northern Arizona. All of the members of Dragonwing Thunder are greatly saddened by his loss.

We will miss our dear friend Mahon (spelling is wrong I know but whatever). He is sure to be drinking in the halls of Valhalla and laughing at us sad mortals down here. Meow meow meow meow, meow meow meow meow…

Sept birthdays, congrats, and DoTG

Hail y’all! Happy Birthday to those born in September, including Sir Sean, Sir Mathias, Lord Yan, Lord Odran, and Lord (squire) Cole. And to any I may have missed. Also congratulations to Sir Sean and his lady. They read the banns! Can you hear the wedding bells ringing – kinda like empty beer bottles clinking only sweeter? Finally, Drinking On The Green is coming up!
Cheers!
