Saturday afternoon: sunny!
Saturday, 13 May 2006 07:00 pmMy strategy of planning for rain seems to have worked. It was sunny all afternoon at the nonviolence fair. So, today looked like:
- clean dishes
- drive to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kourtneyshort's and retrieve dining-tent from her sweetie
- pick up bagels
- go home and finish prepping stuff for fair (extra tarp, tablecloth, ever-important duct-tape)
- realize I don't know if there is food available, so toss a bagel, cheese, a chunk of turkey-sausage, and a tomato into a bag (remember that, it comes up later) [edit: OK, maybe it does, but only in the comments]
- go and set up at the fair. They've run out of tables (there are probably 30 or so groups who want space). Cadge a table from a bit further away. Figure out the tent/awning, with the help of a co-worker, who is there with his wife, both involved with the Greens table.
- finish setting up, take a quick tour of the tables at noon, and wait.
- wait some more. listen to fun, folky-inflected bands nearby.
- around 1:30,thingo and progeny show up; zebulon (daughter, age 3) takes great delight in the tent.
- by 4:45, take part in about half a dozen really neat conversations; with other presenters and also with people just visiting. I may have more to say, after I've had time to digest.
- with the help ofpnijjar, bring stuff back down to the car, and come home to meet my sweetie.
- who arrives withaleriel shortly after I've gotten home and finished dishes! Yay!
OK, he's out of the shower; ttyl. :)
Big heaps of "thank-you" to everyone who offered help with tent-suggestions, making it so dan could make it home, and just general support. You're great.
