Catching up

Sorry I haven't posted in a bit... as I said a couple of weeks back, August is crazy busy.

Last week was all about getting my prints ready for the County Fair, and I'll have a post on that in a day or two.

Saturday was actually a free day, so Brenda and I ran off to Seattle and hit Pike Place. Haven't done that in way, way, too long. I'd forgotten how much fun it is to wander and shop the Market. Spent Saturday night napping off-and-on while trying (with little sucess) to catch the meteor shower. Sunday, tired as heck, spent pretty much all afternoon out at the Fairgrounds helping to accept entries into the photography competition.

This evening was the last full-scale meeting of the Sept Crown staff. Even though Crown is three weeks away, everything increasingly runs on momentum from here and depends more direct interaction between the staff as pretty much everyone understands the broad strokes. As I left, the core Staff was meeting - and I'm kinda glad I'm not involved in that. They've got some real headscratchers to deal with getting everything to fit on site. I've got my own corner (parking) to deal with, and only one person (the RV coordinator) whose space I'll bump up against, so a lot fewer headaches between now and the event. My problems really all start the Thursday before when layout/setup starts and kick into high gear Friday AM when people start arriving.

Tomorrow, another long day. Out to the fairgrounds to help wrangle for judging the photo competition, back to the house for some workmen to come by, back to the fairgrounds, and the rounding out the evening with fighter practice. (And a meeting with the steward for Searjeantry trials.)
