Pennsic creep

[msmemory_archive]

As I look at the schedule for Pennsic, it's looking more and more like the next time we go, whether that's next year or the year after, we should consider going Weds to Weds, or Thurs to Thurs, instead of "second week." Too much is moving earlier, and less is happening late in the week. It's the order meeting announcement that has set me off in this particular case. All four of the orders to which either jducoeur or I belong will have met before we get on site this year. And the days of a big splashy Great Court on the final Saturday are long gone (and we're supposed to be off-site by then anyway). I'm hearing from friends that breakdown starts in some camps on Friday nowadays! The times are a-changin'.

My only objection to the earlier start is that I find it slightly disorienting: what, Pennsic already? In some ways it's a good thing, since it means we will get to see jducoeur's father on his birthday, which is usually while we're away.
