post-con afterglow

Got back from KWAR/KWCS a few hours ago. It was one of the better SCA/con-type events I've been to in awhile. I'm not going to do a blow-by-blow narrative, but hit the highlights:

• Am tired but not wrecked because I paced myself. In all my years of Kalamazoo, Costume Con and the like this is a first and I am much pleased - I didn't kill myself trying to see/do everything so I enjoyed what I DID do!
  
  
• ladyaelfwynn is a good road-trip buddy - made a hot, trafficky trip much more pleasant than it would have been otherwise :)
  
  
• Had great fun hanging/dining/nerding/catching up with lizapalooza, stanci, ladyaelfwynn, and ellid and meeting forsair and many others for the first time :)
  
  
• Asked for and took some criticism about my rapier stance that I needed to hear, and that might also be useful for my sport game (short version: face opponent head on and don't look away like a deer in the headlights).
  
  
• Trial ran the FLK and it's just as easy to wear as I'd hoped :) Also got compliments on my wired coif and blackwork.
  
  
• Was reminded that though I'm not an academic, Laurel, curator or other person of distinction I'm still professional and educated enough to ask to visit collections behind the scenes, and got some ideas of how to best approach it. Project Fortuny is back on.
  
  
• Experienced a variety of food: fast/cheap, posh and celestial, heaping comfort, historic - and while all are grand all are improved vastly by good conversation.
  
  
• Shopped, but modestly - mostly things I'd been looking for for awhile but finally found at good rates and supporting local vendors.
  

Feeling pretty mellow and catching up on a mountain of laundry.
