Project for the day: update the SF Books list so that we don't buy (any more) duplicates at Worldcon.

Second project: cut out Viking dress.

Oh, and on the second project of the viking dress, I was meaning to do that, too. At least that was the plan before Pennsic, so I'd have it for coronation. After Pennsic, I'm thinking that I want to focus more on building out my later period stuff. Then again, it might be moot. Between WorldCon, the onomatopoeic event, and a sailing race out in California, I'm not sure how much chance I'll get to sew before coronation. Good luck!

Hmm...

I was going to do something Extra Fancy for Coronation, but given that a. it's outdoors, b. it's Viking and c. everyone else seems to be doing it, maybe I should try Viking too. It would be cheaper and probably easier.

We should have a Viking Garb Day or something. If I remember at all correctly, some Viking is easy enough that it might be a good newbie make-your-first-garb type thing to do.

(Not that anyone has time for this)

Excellent idea -- having the viking reign means that folks can do something moderately simple and still feel like they're being "high court". That's a nice combination for the newbies.

Hmm. I wonder who could be talked into running this...

I'd organize it, but I have no hosting space, no machine, and no car to get to fabric stores. I can probably find people with some combination of these things (volunteers?), but I have none of them myself.

In fact, a major portion of my being willing to organize such a day is that I can't sew without finding someone with these things anyway.

Due to my new work and class schedule, I'm only available Monday, Friday and Saturday evenings. After the Greenwood Isle picnic might or might not be a time to consider. (I'm free Wednesday evenings too, of course, but I'd hate to double-book with dance.)
