Squire Pyat Q. Wiltboggle of the Lower Alimentary Tracts

ruiskafleck and wggthegnoll were over today, the first time we've seen them since their wedding, almost exactly a year ago. Well, aside from a 45 second conversation at FanExpo.

We had a pleasant afternoon of conversation and sewing. Yes, sewing. velvetpage and ruiskafleck combined their talents to create me a sort faux-Medieval tunic. velvetpage and may be descending even deeper into dorkdom, and joining the Society for Creative Anachronisms! We're going for generic vaguely medieval for our first event, but if we like it, we'll need to create personas. wggthegnoll noted that one can choose any culture from the period between 600 AD and 1600 AD, provided it had contact with Europeans. This makes me sort of wonder if I shouldn't go for an Aztec from the time of the Spanish conquest...

I'm sure that would go over well at SCA functions.

"Glory unto Huitzilopōchtli for this delicious mead! Death is the road to awe! Hey, who made that mail for you?"

More seriously, I was thinking just going with my Dutch heritage, but sadly the 1600 cutoff date just misses Holland's golden age of empire and culture.

I dunno... Aztec garb doesn't seem compatible with our weather outside of, say, July. ;)

Cold weather is just Huitzilopōchtli's way of asking for more sacrifices to make the Sun rise!
